Crushed Concrete we deliver in Yakima
Crushed Concrete in Yakima
Crushed concrete is a recycled base material that costs less per ton than crushed stone. It comes in several sizes, and the size you choose changes how the material compacts, drains, and holds up under traffic. A larger size works for deep fill and mud control, while a smaller size provides a smooth finish for a top dressing.
Yakima gets about 9 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are necessary but not the biggest challenge. Choosing a size that lets water pass through reduces the risk of surface washout.

The 3/4 inch size is the most common choice for a compacting base layer in this area. It works under driveways, slabs, and parking pads. For other jobs, the table below shows the full range of sizes we deliver by the ton to your address.

How Yakima's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Project
About 139 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and ground freezing in Yakima is deep and long. This means your base layer needs to be thick enough to handle the freeze-thaw cycle without shifting. Planning the base depth from the start prevents frost heave problems later.
Yakima gets about 20 inches of snow a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a real concern. Using a compacted crushed concrete top layer reduces the risk of the blade digging in. The ground around Yakima is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually adequate for drainage. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Estimating How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
The amount of crushed concrete you need depends on the area you want to cover and the depth of the layer. Use our material calculators to find the right tonnage. Enter your dimensions and the depth, and the calculator gives you an estimate before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Yakima
What is the smallest load of crushed concrete you deliver to Yakima?
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. Yakima has about 26 days a year with significant rainfall, so scheduling delivery for a dry day helps keep the ground firm for placement.
When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Yakima?
The best time is typically spring or fall. Because about 139 days a year drop below freezing, ground movement from frost can affect a new surface. Ordering after the freeze-thaw cycle stabilizes gives your base a better start.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Yakima County and beyond. The delivery process is the same as for city addresses, provided the site has a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.
What size crushed concrete should I choose?
That depends on your project. For a compacting base under a driveway or pad, 3/4 inch is the standard. For deep fill or mud control, use the 2 to 3 inch size. For a smooth top dressing, choose 3/8 inch.
