Crushed Concrete in Boston: A Smart, Sustainable Building Solution

Looking for an affordable and eco-friendly base material for your next project? Crushed concrete, also known as Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), is a durable, sustainable alternative to gravel and limestone — and Ottr delivers it straight to your job site in Greater Boston and beyond.

What is Crushed Concrete?

Crushed concrete is made by reclaiming and processing old concrete — from sidewalks, driveways, buildings, and roads — into a reusable construction material. Instead of heading to a landfill, the concrete is crushed, screened, and graded into a product you can use as a base layer or fill.

It’s a win-win: you get a budget-friendly alternative to virgin aggregate, and you help reduce construction waste in the process.

Benefits of Crushed Concrete

✅ Cost-Effective

Crushed concrete is typically less expensive than gravel, limestone, or other natural aggregates — making it a great choice for contractors and homeowners looking to save without sacrificing performance.

✅ Durable & Long-Lasting

It compacts well and handles heavy loads, making it ideal for use beneath roads, driveways, walkways, patios, and parking areas.

✅ Eco-Friendly

By reusing material that would otherwise be discarded, crushed concrete reduces landfill waste and helps conserve natural resources — all while lowering the carbon footprint of your project.

Crushed Concrete: FAQ

Q: Is crushed concrete good for driveways?
Yes. It's a budget-friendly and durable choice for both temporary and permanent driveway bases.

While not as effective as washed stone, crushed concrete can work as a base in certain drainage or erosion control situations due to its rough, interlocking texture.

Crushed concrete typically weighs around 2,400–2,700 lbs per cubic yard, depending on moisture and compaction.

Q: Can I install it myself?
Small jobs, like walkways or shed pads, are DIY-friendly with basic tools. Larger applications may require professional equipment for proper compaction.
