Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wautoma address and unloads right where you point.
Wautoma gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning is important when you choose a base material. Crushed concrete compacts well and allows water to pass through, making it a practical choice for driveways and pads.
You order by the ton, and a typical residential driveway needs several tons. The right size depends on the job you are doing. Below is a quick guide to the sizes we offer.
Crushed concrete comes in several sizes, each suited to a different use. The table below lists what each size is good for.
| Size | Use | Note |
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Good for most base jobs under paving or gravel. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Smooth surface that compacts into a firm finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Most common for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Handles heavier loads and provides strong support. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Best for stabilizing soft ground and building up low areas. |
Here is a quick reference for common projects. Each row lists a project, the recommended product, and a depth or note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Spread 6 to 12 inches deep for truck traffic. |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Place in lifts and compact each layer. |
| Parking pad | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compact to 4 inches for a firm surface. |
| Driveway base on a budget | Crushed Concrete | Use 6 inches of base then a 3/8" top coat. |
| Grade raising under a slab | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Spread 2 to 4 inches and compact well. |
Wautoma has about 160 days a year when the temperature drops below 32F. That means a long freezing season, and the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months. The deep frost requires a thicker base layer to prevent heaving. About 46 inches of snow falls annually, and plowing can disturb a loose surface. You will want a well-compacted top course that resists scraping.
Soils in the Wautoma area are commonly excessively drained, so they soak up water quickly and produce little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer, but the base still needs to be thick enough to handle the freeze-thaw cycle. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The amount of crushed concrete you need depends on the size and depth of the area you are covering. Use our material calculators to get an estimate in tons by entering your project dimensions.
Ordering crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey is straightforward. You go online, enter your delivery ZIP code, and choose the size and quantity. The price appears at checkout based on your ZIP. A dump truck delivers to your address, with loads ranging from 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. You can read more about us on our About Gravel Monkey page, check Customer reviews, and review our Delivery information before you order.
The best time is from late spring through fall, after the ground has thawed and before it freezes again. The frost in Wautoma is deep and long, so installing a base during the frozen season can lead to heaving. Ordering in spring gives you time to prepare.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Because Wautoma has about 70 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, you should schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid the truck getting stuck.
The driver will dump the crushed concrete in the location you specify during checkout. You need to ensure the dump truck has at least 12 feet of road width to access that spot. If access is restricted, the crew will unload as close as they safely can.
The delivery price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity of material you order. The total includes the material cost and the delivery fee. You choose a delivery window, and the price is confirmed before you complete the order.
