Recycled Concrete 1 1/2" to 3"

Recycled Concrete 1.5"–3" is a durable, heavy-duty aggregate produced by crushing and processing reclaimed concrete into large, angular pieces. With particles typically ranging from approximately 1.5 inches to 3 inches, this material provides substantial load-bearing strength, dependable drainage, and long-term stability for demanding construction and site-development projects.

The fractured edges help the individual pieces interlock after placement, creating a rugged structural layer that resists movement beneath trucks, construction equipment, and repeated traffic. Its coarse size also helps distribute weight across weak or uneven ground, making it especially useful as an initial stabilization layer beneath roads, building pads, and access routes.

Because the material contains large particles with open spaces between them, water can move freely through the installed aggregate. This permeability makes Recycled Concrete 1.5"–3" suitable for drainage layers, French drains, erosion-control areas, and projects where structural support and water movement are both important.

The substantial stone size performs well over soft or unstable subgrade, helping create a stronger working surface before smaller compactable materials are installed. It is often topped with #53 recycled concrete, crusher run, dense-graded aggregate, or another finer base material to produce a smoother finished surface.

Recycled concrete provides many of the structural benefits of similarly sized natural stone while supporting the reuse of existing construction material. Its recycled composition makes it a practical and cost-effective option for contractors, developers, farmers, municipalities, and property owners completing large-volume base and stabilization work.

The material is well suited for construction entrances, farm roads, haul routes, equipment yards, and other areas exposed to heavy loading. Its angular shape and durable composition help it withstand repeated use and changing weather conditions without breaking down as quickly as softer fill materials.

When properly placed and prepared for the intended application, Recycled Concrete 1.5"–3" creates a strong, permeable, and long-lasting foundation for residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, and civil construction projects.
