Recycled Concrete – Loose Bulk Delivery

Recycled Concrete Calgary | Crushed Concrete Aggregate

Recycled Concrete from Direct Landscape Supply is a crushed aggregate produced from reclaimed concrete. It offers a practical alternative to newly quarried aggregate for suitable driveway, parking area, access road and general base preparation projects.

Also known as crushed concrete or recycled concrete aggregate, this material contains angular particles that can interlock when properly placed and compacted. Its recycled composition makes it an option for projects looking to reuse existing construction materials.

Available loose by the cubic yard, our recycled concrete can be delivered by dump truck throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.

Why Choose Recycled Concrete?

• Reuses reclaimed concrete instead of relying entirely on newly quarried aggregate
• Angular crushed particles can form a firm surface when appropriately graded and compacted
• Practical option for suitable driveway and parking area projects
• Can be used for access roads, general grading and base preparation
• Available in loose bulk quantities for residential and commercial projects
• Delivered directly to your project by dump truck

Common Uses for Crushed Recycled Concrete

• Driveway base preparation
• Parking pads and parking areas
• Rural access roads and laneways
• Suitable patio and hardscape sub-base projects
• Shed and outbuilding pad preparation
• General grading and fill applications
• Commercial and construction site applications

Suitability depends on the material grading, underlying soil, drainage, expected loads and project specifications. Recycled concrete should not be assumed to meet an engineered aggregate specification without verification.

Product Specifications

Recycled aggregate may contain variations in colour, particle size and composition. Confirm the available grading before ordering for applications with specific requirements.

Recycled Concrete Coverage Guide

One cubic yard provides approximately the following coverage before compaction:

These are volume calculations, not recommended base depths. Required thickness depends on ground conditions, intended use, expected loads and project specifications. Allow separately for compaction where required.

What Is Recycled Concrete Aggregate?

Recycled concrete aggregate is made by crushing concrete recovered from previous construction or demolition work. The processed material can be reused in suitable landscaping, grading and construction applications.

Depending on the available grading, crushed recycled concrete may contain larger angular particles along with smaller aggregate and fines. The combination can help create an interlocking surface when properly installed and compacted.

Unlike decorative river rock, recycled concrete is generally selected for practical base or grading applications rather than appearance.

Recycled Concrete vs. Road Crush

Recycled concrete and conventional road crush may both be considered for suitable base preparation projects, but they are not automatically interchangeable.

Recycled concrete is produced from reclaimed concrete. Conventional road crush is generally made from crushed quarried aggregate. Performance depends on the specific grading, particle composition, moisture conditions and installation method.

For projects requiring a particular engineered specification, confirm the approved aggregate type before selecting either material.

Installing Recycled Concrete for Driveways and Base Preparation

1. Remove unsuitable surface material and prepare the underlying soil for the intended use.
2. Establish appropriate grades and drainage before placing the aggregate.
3. Confirm the required base thickness and material specification for the project.
4. Spread the recycled concrete evenly. Where appropriate, place material in lifts suitable for the compaction equipment being used.
5. Compact using suitable equipment and moisture conditions for the material.
6. Check the finished grade, thickness and surface condition before continuing with the next construction stage.

For driveways, parking areas and other load-bearing surfaces, the required base design depends on soil conditions and expected traffic. Consult the project specifications or a qualified contractor where necessary.

Bulk Recycled Concrete Delivery in Calgary

Direct Landscape Supply offers recycled concrete by the cubic yard with loose bulk dump truck delivery throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.

Material is typically unloaded on a suitable driveway or approved street-side location. Enter your preferred dumping area and access instructions during checkout. Final placement depends on safe site conditions and driver discretion.

Available delivery options and charges are calculated at checkout based on your address and order. Flex and Scheduled delivery may be available. Same-day service may also be offered for qualifying loose bulk orders when routing and scheduling permit.

Orders are limited to 10 cubic yards combined per load. Eligible split-load delivery of two different loose bulk materials may be available, with additional charges where applicable.
