STA 0+00 · The yard
Sold by the load, Aransas Pass
Materials off the yard
Crushed concrete base, sand, riprap and topsoil come off the Aransas Pass yard at 3274 Highway 35, loaded by the yard's own wheel loader. Everything sold here started as a rock, a slab, or the ground itself before the yard's own crusher, screen and stockpiles turned it into something a job can use again.
No prices, rates or tonnages are published here. Quantities and destinations get quoted by phone, by the people loading the truck, because a load headed to a driveway subbase and a load headed to a drainage channel are not the same quote.
STA 14+00 · What is stocked
Four materials, kept apart on purpose
Every cone in the yard is a different spec. Base does not get mixed with fill and sand does not get mixed with topsoil, which is why the piles sit apart with room for the loader to work between them rather than stacked against each other. A load that comes off the wrong pile is a load somebody has to explain later, so the yard would rather leave the space.
- Crushed concrete base
- Sized and screened out of the yard's own crusher, not trucked in from somewhere else. Flex base and fill grades get stockpiled apart from the day they come off the screen, because a load ordered as flex base is no good to anyone if it was standing next to fill material and picked up a shovel of the wrong pile.
- Sand
- Bedding and backfill sand, loaded straight off the pile by the yard's own wheel loader. It sits in its own stockpile, away from the crushed concrete and away from the topsoil, for the same reason the base grades are kept apart from each other.
- Riprap
- Broken slab sized for slope protection, channel armour and outfall aprons. It is concrete that already did one job, sized down to do a second one holding a bank or an apron in place against moving water.
- Topsoil
- Stripped ahead of a job and stockpiled for restoration behind curb and along shoulders once the work is finished and the ground needs to look like nobody was ever there.
STA 27+00 · Tipping clean concrete
Bring in clean rubble, cross the scale first
The Aransas Pass yard takes clean concrete rubble, whether it arrives on a belly dump trailer or in the back of a pickup. Drive onto the scale and ask permission before you tip, the same way the big trucks do. That order matters more than the size of the load, and it holds whether the driver is a contractor clearing a job site or somebody bringing in a couple of buckets of broken sidewalk and old fence post footings from a weekend demolition.
Clean means concrete, not concrete with dirt, plastic sheeting, rebar cages or trash mixed through it, because everything that goes into the pile eventually comes back out as somebody else's base course. Once it is on the ground, the crusher and screen train sizes it, sorts it and stacks it back into the stockpiles described above.

Tell the yard what you need and where it is going.
Base, sand, riprap or topsoil, or a load of clean rubble headed the other direction. The yard is open weekdays, seven to six, and the person who answers the phone is the person who quotes the load.
