3/4″ Crushed Concrete: What You Need to Know
3/4″ crushed concrete is made by processing reclaimed concrete into angular fragments about three-quarters of an inch in size. Its fractured edges interlock tightly under compaction, forming a dense and stable surface.
This size is one of the most versatile: small enough to provide a smoother finish than coarse aggregates, yet large enough to resist shifting and maintain drainage. Its appearance is typically gray to off-white with occasional flecks of stone, mortar, or brick, giving it a rugged but neutral look suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Why It Works for You: Applications & Versatility
- Driveways & Parking Pads – Creates a strong, permeable surface that resists rutting.
- Walkways & Garden Paths – Offers firm footing with better comfort than larger aggregates.
- Patio & Hardscape Bases – Serves as a bedding and support layer beneath pavers, slabs, or flagstone.
- Drainage Systems – Keeps water moving in French drains, swales, or foundation perimeters.
- Erosion Control – Anchors soil and reduces runoff on moderate slopes and ditches.
- Utility Trench Backfill – Provides stability and prevents washouts for non-sensitive utility lines.
- Construction Pads & Access Roads – Performs well under moderate traffic conditions.
Key Benefits of 3/4″ Crushed Concrete
- Eco-Friendly – Made from recycled concrete, reducing landfill waste and preserving natural stone.
- Durable & Stable – Angular pieces lock into place under compaction, resisting movement.
- Excellent Drainage – Allows water to flow through voids, preventing pooling and frost heave.
- Cost-Effective – Often 30-50% cheaper than virgin gravel with similar performance.
- Multi-Purpose Size – Large enough for stability, small enough for comfort and detail work.
- Low Maintenance – Once compacted, it stays put and requires minimal regrading.
Installation Know-How: Step by Step
- Excavate & Prepare
Remove vegetation, topsoil, and soft soils. Grade the area to slope away from structures. - Add Base Layer (Optional)
For driveways or heavy-use areas, lay 3-4″ of larger aggregate first for strength. - Install Edging
Use wood, steel, or stone edging to contain the material and define clean lines. - Spread 3/4″ Crushed Concrete
Apply in layers of 2-3″ for best compaction results. - Compact Thoroughly
Use a plate compactor or roller to interlock fragments tightly. - Final Grading
Maintain a crown or slope of 1/4″ per foot for proper water runoff.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using Too Thin of a Layer – Less than 2″ won’t provide long-term durability.
- Skipping Compaction – Loose surfaces shift and rut under traffic.
- Flat Grading – Without slope, water can pool and erode the base.
- Choosing Rounded Stone – Only angular crushed concrete interlocks properly.
- No Edging – Leads to migration into lawns or planting beds.
Long-Term Maintenance Tips
- Rake & Re-Level – Smooth out low spots after heavy use or storms.
- Top Off Every 2-3 Years – Add fresh material to restore depth and strength.
- Drainage Checks – Inspect after rains to ensure water flows properly.
- Weed & Edge Control – Keep borders intact and treat weeds early.
- Winter Care – Lift plow blades slightly to avoid scattering aggregate.
Comparing 3/4″ Crushed Concrete to Other Materials
| Material Type | Strength & Load | Drainage | Comfort Underfoot | Maintenance | Visual Style |
| 3/4″ Crushed Concrete | High | Excellent | Firm, moderate | Low | Neutral, rugged |
| 1″-1½″ Crushed Concrete | High | Excellent | Slightly coarser | Low | Utilitarian, bold |
| 3/8″ Crushed Concrete | Moderate | Good | Smooth, refined | Low | Neutral, compact |

| Pea Gravel (Rounded) | Low | Moderate | Comfortable | Higher | Decorative, casual |
| Concrete or Pavers | Very High | Poor | Smooth | Medium | Formal, polished |
Expert Tips
- Use as a Base – Perfect under pavers, patios, or driveways for strength and drainage.
- Layer Wisely – Pair with finer material on top for a smoother walking surface.
- Order Extra – Plan for 5-10% more to account for settling into voids.
- Compact in Lifts – Work in 2-3″ layers to achieve the best density.
- Source Clean Material – Choose recycled concrete that’s screened and free of contaminants.
Final Word: Why 3/4″ Crushed Concrete Stands Out
3/4″ crushed concrete is the most versatile recycled aggregate size – equally suited for driveways, walkways, patios, and drainage projects. It combines sustainability with durability, offering excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of natural stone.
With proper installation and light maintenance, this recycled material provides long-lasting strength, dependable drainage, and a clean, natural look – making it one of the smartest choices for residential and commercial outdoor projects alike.
