What size is #57 stone?

Most pieces are ½″ to 1″, with 100% passing a 1½″ screen and almost all passing 1″. That's a bit bigger than a grape. People often call it “¾-inch gravel”, but its top size is 1″.

What is #57 stone used for?

Driveway top courses, French drains and drainage swales, pads for sheds, AC units and RVs, pipe bedding, concrete aggregate and dry creek beds.

How much does a yard of #57 stone weigh?

About 1.35 tons per cubic yard (2,700 lb) for our crushed limestone. Wet stone weighs a little more.

How much is #57 stone per ton?

It depends on your ZIP and how much you order. Delivery is included. Smaller loads cost more per ton because the truck trip is shared by fewer tons. Enter your ZIP above for your exact delivered price.

Is #57 stone self-compacting?

Not really. It has no fines, so it won't set hard like road base. It seats and locks together under a plate compactor or traffic, and stays open enough to drain.

#57 vs #67 stone: which should I order?

Both are clean crushed stone. #57 runs a little bigger (up to 1″); #67 tops out at ¾″ and has more small pieces. For driveways, drains and pads they're interchangeable; for concrete, follow your mix design.

What is #57 stone?

#57 stone is a washed, angular crushed stone graded to the ASTM D448 / AASHTO M43 size No. 57: most pieces are between about ¾″ and 1″, with a few smaller chips. Ours is crushed Florida limestone, light gray to off-white. Because the fines are washed out, water runs straight through it, which is why it's the default stone for gravel driveways, French drains and equipment pads.

Why is it called #57 stone?

The number is the gradation size from ASTM D448. Size 57 is a blend that spans size 5 and size 7, so it has more variety than a single-size stone. #67 (¾″) and #89 (⅜″) are named the same way.

Is #57 stone good for driveways?

Yes, as the top course. On its own, loose #57 shifts under tires over time. For a driveway that lasts, put 2–4 in of #57 over a compacted 4–6 in layer of crusher run road base: the base carries the load, the #57 drains and looks clean.

Does #57 stone need to be compacted?

It doesn't compact like road base, because it has no fines to bind. A plate compactor or a few passes with a vehicle will seat it and lock the angular pieces together, but it stays open enough to drain.

What #57 stone is used for

Driveway top course

2–4 in over a compacted road-base layer. Drains in Florida downpours and gives a clean finished look.

French drains & swales

Surrounds perforated pipe with lots of open space for water; no fines to clog the fabric.

Shed, AC & RV pads

A level, draining pad for sheds, generators, AC units, boats and RVs.

Pipe bedding & backfill

Beds and surrounds utility pipes and culverts; the angular pieces support the pipe.

Concrete aggregate

Standard coarse aggregate for site-mixed concrete; follow your mix design.

Dry creek beds & landscape

Light, clean stone for dry creek beds, tree wells and around walkways.

#57 stone is not the right pick for:

Paver bases that need tight compaction (use stone dust or road base)
Surfaces you walk on barefoot (loose and sharp)
Planting beds
Steep slopes that need fine grading

How much #57 stone do I need, and what does it cost delivered?

What to expect when your #57 stone is delivered

Where will the truck dump it?

Dumped from the street or driveway.

Do I need to be home?

Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.

Will it be spread?

No. #57 stone arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan a skid steer, wheelbarrows and rakes, or a crew, to move it into place.

Can the truck reach my backyard?

A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.

How much fits on one truck?

About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads. The minimum order is 1 ton; small loads cost more per ton because delivery is included in the price, with no separate delivery fee.
