What is crushed concrete (#57 recycled concrete aggregate)?
Crushed concrete is old concrete (slabs, sidewalks, foundations) broken up, crushed and screened back into stone. In the trade it's called recycled concrete aggregate, or RCA. Our #57 grade is screened to the same ½–1 in size as #57 limestone, with most of the fines taken out, so it drains and packs like regular #57 gravel at a lower delivered price.
Is crushed concrete good for driveways?
Yes, it's one of the most common driveway materials in Florida. The angular pieces lock together under tires, and the open #57 size drains summer rain instead of turning to mud. Lay it over a compacted base (crushed concrete road base or limerock) for a new drive, or as a 3–4 in top course on an existing one.
How it compares with #57 limestone
For driveways, drains, pads and backfill it does the same job. Pick virgin #57 limestone for ready-mix concrete, for jobs whose spec rules out recycled material, or where a uniform color matters. In Tampa today, #57 crushed concrete is $71.51/ton delivered on a full truck, against $84.85/ton for #57 limestone.
Crushed concrete in Florida rain
Fresh crushed concrete is alkaline, like the concrete it came from. Runoff from a new pile can raise the pH of the soil next to it, so keep it a few feet away from acid-loving plants and out of ponds and ditches.
How thick should #57 crushed concrete be?
Order by compacted depth. #57 settles a little when rolled, which the widget already allows for. For a new driveway on sandy soil, put a compacted base underneath first.
| Project | Compacted depth | Tons per 100 sq ft | Coverage per ton | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top up an existing gravel driveway | 2 in | 0.7 t | ~135 sq ft | Fills ruts and refreshes the surface |
| Driveway top course | 3 in | 1.1 t | ~90 sq ft | Over a compacted base |
| Shed, AC or RV pad | 4 in | 1.5 t | ~68 sq ft | Level, compact, then edge it |
| Driveway on firm ground, no base | 6 in | 2.2 t | ~45 sq ft | Two lifts of 3 in, compacted |

What to expect when your #57 crushed concrete is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. #57 crushed concrete arrives in one pile and isn't spread or compacted on site, so plan a skid steer or rakes, and a roller or plate compactor for driveways.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads. The minimum order is 1 ton; small loads cost more per ton because delivery is included in the price, with no separate delivery fee.
