Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Davis address and unloads right where you point.
Order crushed concrete by the ton for delivery to your address in Davis. The material is recycled concrete crushed into angular pieces that compact well. Davis gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a base material.
Crushed concrete works as a budget-friendly alternative to virgin stone for driveways, parking areas, and site access. You buy it online and a dump truck brings the load to your property.
Each size of crushed concrete handles a different problem. The wrong size can lead to poor compaction, washout, or a surface that moves under traffic. Here are the five sizes available for delivery in the Davis area.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Mixed sizes compact into a stable base for light to moderate traffic. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Too small for a main base; use as a final wearing surface or filler. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common choice for driveways and pads because it locks up tight. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Larger stones handle loads better than smaller grades on soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for filling ruts and building a stable layer over wet soil. |
The table below matches common project types to the right crushed concrete size. Depth depends on the soil condition and traffic, but these pairings are a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 6 to 8 inches after compaction |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 12 to 18 inches for heavy equipment |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Drainage layer, compact in lifts |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted to 95% standard proctor |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches on well-drained soil |
Davis has about 115 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important because a muddy site can slow spreading and compaction. Plan for dry weather during installation.
Snowfall runs about 105 inches a year. Plowing a loose crushed concrete surface can push material aside and leave ruts. If the surface will be plowed, consider a compacted top layer of 3/4" Crushed Concrete that resists shifting. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The ground around Davis falls into hydrologic group D, meaning it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Plan extra base stone under the surface layer to handle runoff.
Tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth you want. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons, but coverage varies by size and compaction. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to estimate your needs by entering the length, width, and depth of the area.
Buying is straightforward: order online by the ton, and the price for delivery is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address, and loads run from 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders, and first-time customers get $50 off with the code FIRSTTIMER50.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Read the Delivery information page for full details on access, cancellations, and inspecting the load.

Your crushed concrete job may need additional materials for the subbase, drainage, or final surface. These options work well alongside it.
Yes. Winter conditions can delay delivery if the site is icy or snow-covered. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer depth matters more than delivery timing. Schedule your delivery for a day when the ground is firm and dry.
Yes. About 142 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window for spreading and compacting. Order early enough to complete the job before freeze cycles start. A deeper base of 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete can help with frost heave.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning or afternoon. A valid phone number is required, and you get a confirmation email with a photo of the load before dispatch. You must approve that second email before the truck rolls.
The 3/4" Crushed Concrete is the standard compacting base size and is the most common choice for driveways and parking pads. It locks together well and handles moderate traffic.
