Crushed Concrete Delivery in Mobile, Alabama
Crushed concrete is recycled aggregate reclaimed from old slabs, sidewalks and roadway sections, then crushed and screened into a gray to white gravel substitute sold by the ton. MyGravelBuddy delivers crushed concrete to addresses across Mobile, Alabama, a Gulf Coast city of around 187K residents within reach of New Orleans, Montgomery, Birmingham and Columbus, Georgia. Homeowners and contractors here use it as a lower cost base material for driveways, pads and drainage work, with a per ton rate that drops as the order size grows.
Best Uses for Crushed Concrete in Mobile
Contractors around Mobile use crushed concrete anywhere a stable, well draining base is needed rather than a decorative finish. It compacts tightly once it is spread and rolled, which makes it a practical substitute for virgin gravel on projects where budget matters more than a uniform look.
- Driveway base and subbase under a topcoat of gravel or asphalt
- Compacted base for parking pads, sheds and equipment pads
- Backfill around foundations and retaining walls
- Drainage layers under patios and walkways
- Base material for farm lanes and yard access roads
Because it comes from demolition rather than a quarry, expect some variation in piece size and appearance from one load to the next. That variation does not hurt performance in any of the uses above, and it is one reason the material tends to cost less per ton than freshly quarried stone.
How Much Crushed Concrete You Need
Crushed concrete is sold and delivered by the ton, not the cubic yard, so plan quantities in tons based on the area and depth you are covering. A base layer 4 inches deep under a 20 by 30 foot driveway pad works out to roughly 7 cubic yards, and at about 2,500 pounds per cubic yard that lands close to 9 tons once a compaction allowance is added. Run your own project dimensions through the calculator to get a ton figure before you order, especially if your layout is irregular or split across more than one area.
Delivery and Lead Times in Mobile
Delivery windows depend on order size. Orders starting at 3 tons ship in 1-2 business days. Order at least 8 tons and delivery moves to same or next day service. At 15 tons or more, delivery is free and still runs on that fast schedule. For coverage details and scheduling in the area, see delivery in Mobile.
Pricing Notes
Crushed concrete in Mobile is priced by the ton, and the rate drops as the order size increases. A 3 ton order runs $206 per ton, an 8 ton order runs $119 per ton, and orders of 15 tons or more drop to $93 per ton, the lowest bulk rate, with delivery included at that tier. A delivery fee applies below the 15 ton threshold and steps down as the order size grows, so larger single deliveries are the more cost efficient way to buy this material.
Ordering Crushed Concrete in Mobile
Placing an order takes a ton figure and a Mobile delivery address. There is no separate step for grading or spreading built into the order: MyGravelBuddy delivers the material to the site, and you or your contractor handle placement and compaction. If you have work planned elsewhere in the state, browse Crushed Concrete in Alabama to compare pricing across other Alabama cities before you settle on a ton count for Mobile. Most driveway and drainage projects only need one delivery, so getting the ton figure right up front saves a second trip.
About Crushed Concrete
Crushed concrete is a recycled aggregate made from broken slabs, sidewalks, curbs and old roadway material that has been crushed and screened down to gravel sized pieces. The color runs gray to white with occasional exposed sand or fine aggregate showing through, and piece size varies from load to load since it comes from demolition work rather than a quarry. Once it is spread and compacted, it locks together into a firm, stable base that handles vehicle and foot traffic well, which is why it shows up so often under driveways, parking pads and equipment pads. It also drains reasonably well as a base layer, so it holds up under patios and walkways where standing water is a concern. In Mobile, it moves by the ton to addresses across the city and the surrounding Mobile metro area, giving contractors and homeowners a lower cost alternative to virgin crushed stone for projects where the base layer will be covered or is not meant to be a finished, decorative surface. Because it is reclaimed rather than freshly quarried, appearance can vary slightly between deliveries, but the compaction performance stays consistent load to load.
What Crushed Concrete costs in Mobile
Around Mobile, crushed concrete is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard. Pricing in Mobile starts at $93 per ton on full-truck loads, which works out to roughly $116 per cubic yard at the typical density of 2500 lb per yard. 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. Mobile pricing sits lower than the AL state average, which is what we see across other product-loc rows we publish.
How crews use Crushed Concrete in Mobile
Mobile contractors keep crushed concrete on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Local Mobile orders cluster around the partial-truck range, with full loads booked for paving prep and base courses.
Delivery day in Mobile
Delivery in Mobile runs out of the nearest pit; you get a two hour arrival window the evening prior and a call when the driver leaves the scale. Plan for 12 ft of clear path for a tandem and 14 ft for a tri-axle, plus a level area at the dump point so the bed lifts straight. Standard lead time on this lane is 24-48h, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.

What is crushed concrete made from?
Crushed concrete is reclaimed from broken slabs, sidewalks, curbs and roadway material that gets crushed and screened into gravel sized pieces, generally gray to white in color. It keeps demolition debris out of the waste stream while giving you a base material that compacts and drains much like traditional crushed stone, usually at a lower cost per ton.
Is crushed concrete good for a driveway in Mobile?
Yes. It is a common choice for driveway base and subbase layers because it compacts into a firm, stable surface once it is spread and rolled. Many homeowners in Mobile top it with a finish layer of gravel or asphalt, while others leave it exposed as a budget driving surface on its own.
How fast can I get delivery in Mobile?
Delivery timing depends on order size. Orders of 3 tons or more typically arrive in 1 to 2 business days, while orders of 8 tons or more move to same or next day service. Orders of 15 tons or more ship on that same fast schedule and also qualify for free delivery.
Does the price per ton change with order size?
Yes. Crushed concrete is priced on a sliding scale: a 3 ton order runs a higher rate per ton, an 8 ton order drops the rate further, and orders of 15 tons or more reach the lowest bulk rate along with free delivery. Larger single orders are the most cost efficient way to buy this material.
Can crushed concrete replace gravel for drainage?
It can in many cases. Once compacted, crushed concrete still allows water to move through the base layer, which makes it a workable substitute for gravel under patios, walkways and equipment pads. It will not match the uniform look of a screened decorative stone, so it works best where the base gets covered or is not meant to be seen.
What size are the pieces in a load of crushed concrete?
Piece size varies by load since the material is processed from reclaimed concrete rather than screened to one exact size. Expect a mix of gravel sized fragments with some fine material blended in, which actually helps the load compact tightly once it is spread and rolled on site.
Do I need extra material to cover compaction?
Yes, it is worth ordering a bit more than the raw calculated volume. Crushed concrete settles once it is compacted, particularly under a base layer that will carry vehicle weight. Running your project dimensions through the calculator before you order helps you land on a ton figure that accounts for typical settling.
Is crushed concrete delivered anywhere in Mobile?
MyGravelBuddy delivers crushed concrete to addresses throughout Mobile and the surrounding area. Scheduling and coverage details are handled through the Mobile delivery page, and the ton price and any delivery fee depend on how much material you order at one time.
