Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wilmington address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners both order crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey, but each group buys it for different reasons. Wilmington gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for any project that uses a recycled base.
For contractors, the priority is compaction and load-bearing under asphalt or concrete. Homeowners often want a budget-friendly surface that looks clean and stays put. The right size and base depth make the difference for either use.
Crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey comes in five sizes, from a fine dressing to heavy fill. Each one suits a different stage of a project.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Cost-effective all-rounder for driveways and pads. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooths out after the base is compacted. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Angular particles lock together under weight. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Large pieces resist shifting in soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Handles wet spots and builds up low areas. |
Every project has a weak spot. Here is the crushed concrete size that solves it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Angular particles lock together for stable backfill. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacts to a firm surface for light vehicles. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | Cost-effective base that compacts well. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Large pieces add stability under concrete. |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Handles heavy equipment and wet ground. |
Wilmington gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year, so crushed concrete must sit on a base that drains. The well-drained soils common in the area help, but a proper base depth still matters.
The county sees about 162 days a year below freezing. That many freeze-thaw cycles can move a thin layer. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. A deeper base resists that movement.
Snowfall at about 75 inches a year means plowing. A loose crushed concrete surface can be gouged by a blade. A compacted base with a finer top layer holds up better. The soil around Wilmington takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough to avoid washout.
Tonnage depends on the area and the depth you plan to lay. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for your project.

The 3/4" crushed concrete is the most common choice. It compacts well and works for driveways, parking pads, and base layers.
The sizes range from a fine 3/8" dressing to a heavy 2"-3" fill. The fine sizes level and top, the medium sizes compact into a base, and the large sizes build deep fill or stabilize mud.
