Recycled Concrete #1 is a large, heavy-duty aggregate produced by crushing and processing reclaimed concrete into coarse, angular pieces. The material commonly contains stone ranging from approximately 2 inches up to 4 inches, although exact gradation may vary by supplier and regional specification.
Its oversized particle size provides substantial mass and dependable load distribution across weak, soft, or uneven subgrade. This makes Recycled Concrete #1 especially useful as an initial structural layer in deep road bases, construction entrances, building pads, industrial work areas, and other projects exposed to heavy traffic or equipment.
The rough, fractured surfaces help the individual pieces interlock after placement, creating a rugged foundation that resists shifting under repeated loads. Its angular structure provides greater stability than smooth, rounded stone while supporting long-term performance in demanding construction environments.
Because the material contains large aggregate with open spaces between the particles, water can move through the installed layer efficiently. This combination of structural strength and permeability makes Recycled Concrete #1 useful in heavy drainage areas, stormwater installations, erosion-control projects, and deep stabilization layers where water movement must be maintained.
Recycled Concrete #1 is commonly installed as the lowest layer of a multi-stage aggregate base. Once the site has been stabilized, the coarse material can be topped with #53 recycled concrete, crusher run, dense-graded aggregate, or another smaller compactable product to create a smoother and more tightly finished surface.
Its substantial size makes it particularly effective for farm roads, haul roads, heavy-duty driveways, highway sub-base preparation, and construction access routes. The stone helps establish a durable working platform over challenging ground while distributing vehicle and equipment loads across a broader area.
Recycled concrete provides many of the functional benefits of similarly sized natural stone while supporting the reuse of existing construction material. This makes it a practical, sustainable, and often cost-effective choice for contractors, developers, municipalities, farmers, and industrial property owners.
When properly installed for the intended application, Recycled Concrete #1 creates a strong, permeable, and long-lasting foundation for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and civil construction projects.
Common Applications of Recycled Concrete #1
- Deep road sub-base for highways and access roads
- Farm roads and heavy-duty driveways
- Building foundations and structural base layers
- Erosion control and large-scale stabilization
- French drains and stormwater management systems
