What is crushed concrete paver base?
Crushed concrete paver base is recycled concrete crushed and screened down to ⅜ in and smaller, fines included. It's the recycled version of stone dust (screenings): the mix of grit and dust packs tight when you wet it and run a plate compactor over it, giving pavers a firm, level layer to sit on.
Paver base vs bedding layer
The base is the thick compacted layer that carries the load. Most installers then screed a thin, uncompacted layer of sand or fine screenings (about 1 in) on top to set the pavers in. This product can do both jobs; check what your installer prefers.
How it compares with stone dust
It does the same job as virgin limestone screenings at a lower delivered price: in Tampa today $46.97/ton vs $59.39/ton for stone dust, on a full truck. The color is a slightly darker gray.
Drainage
Because it packs tight, water runs off the top rather than through it. Slope your patio away from the house (about ¼ in per foot) so rain drains off.
How deep should crushed concrete paver base be?
Order by compacted depth. Fines lose about a fifth of their volume when compacted, which the widget's 25% allowance covers.
| Project | Compacted depth | Tons per 100 sq ft | Coverage per ton | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shed or playset pad (top layer) | 2 in | 0.8 t | ~125 sq ft | Over firm, level ground |
| Walkway or garden path | 4 in | 1.6 t | ~62 sq ft | Two compacted 2 in lifts |
| Patio | 4 in | 1.6 t | ~62 sq ft | Most backyard patios |
| Patio on soft or sandy soil | 6 in | 2.4 t | ~42 sq ft | Three compacted lifts |

What to expect when your crushed concrete paver base 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. Paver base arrives in one pile and isn't spread or compacted on site. Plan wheelbarrows or a skid steer, a hose, and a plate compactor.
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.
