What is crushed concrete road base?
Crushed concrete road base is recycled concrete crushed to about 1½ in and smaller, with the fines left in. The mix of stone sizes and dust locks together when you wet it and roll it, forming a hard, load-bearing layer. It's the recycled alternative to crusher run (limestone road base) or crusher run, and is also sold as RCA base or recycled road base.
Road base vs crushed concrete: which is better?
For home driveways, pads and parking areas they do the same job. In Tampa today crushed concrete road base is $48.24/ton vs $53.03/ton for crusher run (limestone road base), delivered on a full truck. Use limerock where a permit or engineer's spec calls for virgin material.
How thick should a driveway base be?
About 6 in compacted for cars, 8 in for RVs, boats and delivery trucks, in lifts of 3–4 in. Roll each lift damp. Soft or wet ground may need more, or geotextile fabric underneath.
A base, or the finished surface?
It can be both. Many rural Florida drives are just compacted road base. It's dusty when dry and can wash at the edges, so many people top it with 2–3 in of #57 crushed concrete or asphalt millings.
Built from recycled concrete
Like all concrete, it's alkaline, so keep it out of ponds and ditches.
How thick should crushed concrete road base be?
Order by compacted depth. Road base loses about a fifth of its volume when rolled, which the widget's 25% allowance covers.
| Project | Compacted depth | Tons per 100 sq ft | Coverage per ton | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walkway, shed or AC pad | 4 in | 1.7 t | ~60 sq ft | One compacted lift |
| Home driveway (cars) | 6 in | 2.5 t | ~40 sq ft | Two lifts of 3 in |
| RVs, boats, delivery trucks | 8 in | 3.3 t | ~30 sq ft | Two lifts of 4 in |
| Parking lot or job-site road | 8 in | 3.3 t | ~30 sq ft | Or as your engineer specifies |

What to expect when your crushed concrete road 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. Road base arrives in one pile and isn't spread or compacted on site. Plan a skid steer or tractor, a water hose and a roller or 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.
