Crushed concrete delivery in Aurora, CO at a glance

Aurora has about 390,000 residents and spreads across a mix of older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the eastern edge of the Denver metro. Homeowners here often tackle driveways, side yards, and backyard patios themselves, while small contractors handle grading and base work for remodels and new builds. For the rest of the state, Crushed Concrete in Colorado is the place to start.

Denver, Centennial, Thornton, Westminster, and Lakewood are all close by, roughly 9 to 14 miles from Aurora. Many jobs in those towns call for the same kind of base work, so the same material and sizing guidance applies across the area.

Best uses for crushed concrete in Aurora

Crushed concrete works best as a load-bearing layer that stays put under foot and under tires. Common jobs in the area include:

• Driveway base under asphalt, pavers, or a gravel top layer.
• Patio and walkway bases that need to stay level through freeze and thaw cycles.
• Pads under sheds, garages, and equipment storage areas.
• Backfill for French drains and drainage trenches, where water needs to move through the material.
• Side yard and gate access paths that see wheelbarrow and foot traffic.

Grade the base so water runs away from the house and off the paved surface. A slight slope is enough, because a flat base holds standing water that can soften the layer above it.

For a finished surface rather than a base, Pea Gravel is the usual choice on walkways. Skip crushed concrete in planting beds and vegetable gardens, since its alkalinity can raise soil pH over time. For those beds, Premium Screened Topsoil is the better match.

Delivery in Aurora and what to plan for

Our delivery in Aurora page has the city details, and this section covers what to get ready on your end. Pick a flat, hard spot such as a driveway or a paved pad where the truck can stop and the load can drop without sinking. Clear low branches, overhead power lines, and any gate or fence the truck would need to pass. Soft lawn and narrow side yards are the usual trouble spots, so if grass is the only access, lay boards or plywood across it first.

Weather matters for this job too. Wet ground during the spring thaw can rut under a loaded truck, so a dry stretch of days makes the drop and the spread much easier. Check the forecast before you pick a date, and avoid the days right after a heavy snow.

How much crushed concrete you need

Measure the length and width of the area in feet, and choose a depth in inches for the base you want. For an Aurora crushed concrete base, multiply length by width by depth, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Measure the longest and widest points and round up so you do not come up short at the edges.

Here is a worked example. A 20 by 10 foot driveway section laid 3 inches deep comes to about 1.9 cubic yards. At about 2,500 pounds per cubic yard, that is roughly 2.3 tons. Add about 10 percent for settling as the base packs down, which brings the figure to about 2.5 tons. Order the tonnage that matches your own math, not a guess from a photo.

If you would rather skip the arithmetic, the calculator will work out the tonnage from your dimensions.

Pricing notes for Aurora orders

The delivered price for your ZIP is calculated live and shown on the page before you check out. Larger orders get a lower rate per ton.

A standard pickup truck carries well under a ton per trip, so even the 2.5 ton example above would take several runs. Compare your total hauling time and fuel against the delivered figure before deciding to haul it yourself.

About Crushed Concrete

About this material

Crushed concrete is recycled aggregate made from demolished concrete, such as old slabs, footings, and sidewalk sections. Crews break the concrete down, screen it, and sort it into a usable size range. The result is a mix of gray and white pieces with rough, angular faces, and those faces are what let the material lock together under compaction.

The product suits base work for hardscape as well as drainage fill. Because it comes from recycled stock, color and piece size can vary somewhat from one load to the next, so expect a little variation across a large project.
