Can excavation spoil be crushed and reused as base material on-site?

On genuinely rock-heavy sites, yes — some excavated rock can be crushed and reused as compacted base material for a driveway or paths on the same site, reducing both disposal cost and how much new material needs bringing in.

This is worth discussing with your contractor specifically if your soil report indicates significant rock content in your excavation.
