About Crushed Concrete
Crushed Concrete is a recycled material with a density around 2500 lbs per cubic yard. The color runs gray / white. Budget-friendly alternative to virgin aggregate, made from reclaimed asphalt or concrete. Popular for driveways, base coats, and contractor-grade fills where appearance is secondary to cost and durability.
Bulk orders are sold by the ton, with full-truck deliveries (16 or more tons) saving 15 to 20 percent off partial-load rates. Tandem-axle trucks haul 10 to 16 tons per load and fit residential streets; tri-axle trucks haul 16 to 24 tons and work better for contractor pours and commercial sites. We deliver same-day in most metros for orders placed before 11 AM, with a two-hour arrival window confirmed the evening before.
Pricing depends on quarry proximity, truckload size, the current diesel rate, and seasonal demand. The cheapest path is always a full truck dropped at a single address. If your project needs more than one load, splitting deliveries across two days costs less than two separate partial loads on the same day. Send your ZIP and dimensions through the contact form for a same-hour quote that includes the delivered total and the lead time on the lane.
After delivery, plan a few hours on the day of the drop to spread or stage the material. A wheelbarrow moves about 2 cubic feet at a time, which makes longer driveways or larger beds a multi-day job by hand. A skid-steer covers ten times that pace and rents for around $200 per day in most markets, often with same-day pickup. If you cannot start work right away, tarping the pile keeps the crushed concrete dry and intact for up to a week without losing weight or color.

Plan on roughly 86 sq ft of coverage per ton at 3 inches deep, which puts a single-car driveway in the 4 to 7 ton bracket.

How is Crushed Concrete different from virgin aggregate?
Crushed Concrete comes from reclaimed asphalt or concrete and costs 30 to 50 percent less. Performance is similar for driveways and base coats.
Does Crushed Concrete need to be sealed?
A tack coat or seal coat extends life dramatically on driveways. Without seal, plan on a top-up every 3 to 5 years.
Will Crushed Concrete get tacky in summer?
Asphalt-based Crushed Concrete tacks up in 90+ degree heat, which actually helps compaction. Cooler than that, it stays loose like crushed stone.
Is Crushed Concrete eco-friendly?
Yes. Crushed Concrete diverts construction waste from landfill and uses a fraction of the energy of mining virgin stone.
How is Crushed Concrete priced in Chicago?
Around $24 per ton delivered. Pricing varies with local supply and current asphalt salvage rates.
