Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Spencer address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers pick crushed concrete for its low cost, but they often forget it needs good compaction and drainage. Spencer gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, and a loose layer can wash out quickly. Preparation matters more than the material price.
Crushed concrete is recycled demolition material that behaves like crushed stone when compacted. It works well as a base for driveways, pads, and site access when the local weather and ground are accounted for.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes. The larger grades compact into a firm base, while the smaller ones give a finer finish. Here are the crushed concrete sizes we deliver to Spencer addresses.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | An economical choice when a smooth finish is not needed. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Sifts into gaps easily; works as a final grade over a compacted base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Locks tightly under a compactor for a stable, load-bearing surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles heavier traffic; good for the first lift in a multi-layer base. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Fills deep ruts and provides drainage in soft, wet areas. |
Some projects need a budget-friendly option, while others require a long-lasting base. The table below matches common jobs to the best crushed concrete size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Backfill behind a wall | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Fill in layers, compact each 6 inches |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | 6 to 12 inches in soft spots |
| Grade raising under a slab | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill to desired grade, compact well |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | 2 to 3 inches over compacted base |
About 92 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to schedule your delivery when the ground is firm enough for the truck to drive without getting stuck. Wet weather can delay a base installation if the soil stays saturated.
The ground here freezes on roughly 129 days a year when temperatures drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift a base that was not compacted properly. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The soil around Spencer takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That runoff adds to the need for good drainage and a deeper base layer. Annual snowfall of about 24 inches means snowplows can scrape a loose crushed concrete surface, so a well-compacted top layer holds up better against blade damage.

Yes. The ground freezes on about 129 days a year, and that freeze-thaw cycle can move an un-compacted base. Plan your delivery and installation during firm, unfrozen ground for the best compaction.
