Buy Crushed Concrete in Moab, Utah

The common mistake with crushed concrete is treating every load the same. A base under a driveway needs a different size than a top dressing for a path, and the recycled nature of the material means particle shape varies more than with quarried stone. The correction is to pick the size for the layer you are building.

Moab gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter more than in wetter regions. A well-chosen crushed concrete base handles that without extra work.

Crushed Concrete Sizes Available in Moab

Crushed concrete splits into two groups: compacting base material and finer surface material. The table below shows the options Gravel Monkey delivers in Moab by the ton.

Choosing the Right Crushed Concrete for Your Moab Project

The table below maps common projects to the best product and depth. Crushed concrete works as a budget option compared to virgin stone, but the long-term performance depends on matching the size to the load.

Moab's Climate and Soil Matter for Your Base

Soils mapped in the Moab area are commonly excessively drained. That means water moves through fast, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the crushed concrete from settling unevenly. The ground around Moab is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. These two facts together mean the base depth matters more than the drainage layer beneath it.

About 117 days a year drop below 32F. That long freezing season shapes the work window and how much the ground moves when it thaws. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to reach below the frost line to stay stable. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

About 15 inches of snow falls a year. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can gouge it, so a compacted top layer or a binding material helps if the area gets cleared.

How Much Crushed Concrete You Need for Your Job

Tonnage depends on the area, the depth of the layer, and the density of the material. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons, but the exact figure changes with the size and moisture content. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a number for your project before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tons of crushed concrete do I need for my project?

The number depends on your square footage and the compacted depth. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, but the exact figure varies with moisture and particle size. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site for your dimensions.

Do winter conditions in Moab affect delivery?

Yes, frozen ground can make placement harder. About 117 days a year drop below 32F, so the ground may be too hard to grade or compact during those months. Hard freezes shape the calendar, and delivery timing can shift with weather and road conditions.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver needs a contact to confirm where the load goes. If nobody is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes, Gravel Monkey offers $50 off a first order with code FIRSTTIMER50. The code applies at checkout on the website.
