#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Burbank, CA
Burbank sits on the floor of the San Fernando Valley, where hot dry summers and light winter rainfall are the norm, and the ground here runs from sandy valley soil to firmer footing on the foothill lots near the Verdugo Mountains. #57 crushed stone delivery in Burbank, CA is built for both settings: a driveway base on a flat valley lot and backfill on a sloped foothill property need the same angular, load bearing stone. This is a gray, crushed and screened aggregate sized to a consistent three quarter to one inch, sold by the ton rather than the cubic yard. Burbank is part of the wider Los Angeles metro area, and the mix of studio lots, light industrial sites and single family backyards here keeps demand for a stable base material steady year round.
Because rainfall is light most of the year, the bigger issue for a base layer is usually heat and repeated traffic rather than standing water. This stone holds its shape under regular vehicle loads and does not break down the way softer fill can under a Valley summer. Pricing and delivery details for other California cities are covered on the #57 Crushed Stone in California page.
Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone in Burbank
This stone earns its place under driveways, parking pads and any load bearing layer that has to hold up under regular vehicle traffic. Typical uses in Burbank include:
- Driveway and parking pad base under asphalt or pavers
- Backfill for retaining walls on foothill lots
- Base under sheds, accessory dwelling units and utility trenches
- French drains around foundations and crawl spaces
- Erosion control on slopes near the Verdugo foothills
Backyard building has picked up across Burbank in recent years, and a compacted base of this stone under a new accessory structure keeps the pad stable long after the concrete or pavers go down. Studio and light industrial lots use the same material for parking areas and yard surfacing that has to carry heavier loads than a typical residential driveway.
Delivery and Lead Times Around Burbank
Order 3 tons or more and delivery typically lands within 1 to 2 business days. Order 8 tons or more and that moves up to same or next day. Once an order reaches 15 tons, the delivery fee drops away entirely. Studio back lots, alley access behind commercial buildings and standard residential driveways all show up on Burbank delivery routes, so it helps to flag the exact drop point and any gate or access code ahead of the scheduled window. Full scheduling detail is covered on the page for delivery in Burbank.
How Much #57 Crushed Stone to Order
Since this stone sells by the ton, start with volume and convert to weight. Multiply length in feet by width in feet by depth in inches, then divide by 324 for cubic yards. A driveway or parking pad measuring 20 by 50 feet at 4 inches deep comes to a little over 12 cubic yards. This stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so that pad converts to roughly 17 tons once you do the math. Check your own measurements against the #57 crushed stone calculator before ordering, since depth and compaction change the number on every job.
Pricing Notes for Bulk Tonnage

|---|---|---|
| 3 tons or more | $324 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons or more | $231 | Same or next day |

Placing an Order in Burbank
Ordering #57 crushed stone in Burbank works the same way for a small backyard job or a full parking lot base: enter your address, pick a tonnage tier and schedule a delivery window that fits the site. A shed pad or drainage trench usually falls in the 3 to 8 ton range, while a full driveway or parking area rebuild often reaches 15 tons or more for the better rate. Have the drop point marked and any gates or narrow alley access noted, so the truck can get the load down on the first pass.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. Its sharp faces bite into each other under compaction instead of rolling the way naturally rounded gravel does, which is why it is a standard choice for driveway bases, parking pads, retaining wall backfill and any layer that has to carry repeated weight without shifting. A cubic yard of this stone comes in at roughly 2,700 pounds, and it is sold by the ton rather than the yard, so orders are measured and billed by weight.
It drains fast and holds up under heat and heavy traffic without breaking down into fines the way softer material can. That makes it a good match for studio back lots, light industrial yards and residential driveways that see regular vehicle loads. It is also used under sheds, accessory structures and utility trenches, and for erosion control on sloped ground near the foothills.
Because the stone is angular, it should go down in compacted layers rather than one loose pile, which keeps a base stable under a parking pad or driveway for years rather than settling unevenly after the first season of use.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Burbank
Local Burbank yards quote #57 crushed stone by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Burbank
In and around Burbank, #57 crushed stone shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is driveway gravel, often in tight urban lots and infill builds in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is drainage gravel, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 103,533 people, the Burbank order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Burbank
A typical Burbank drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. Standard lead time on this lane is Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.

What is #57 crushed stone used for?
#57 crushed stone is an angular, three quarter to one inch gray stone most often used as a driveway or parking pad base, retaining wall backfill, and fill around foundation drains. Its interlocking shape keeps it stable under repeated vehicle traffic instead of shifting the way rounded gravel does. It also works well under sheds, accessory structures and utility trenches where a firm base matters.
Is #57 crushed stone good for a driveway base in a hot climate?
Yes. It does not break down or soften under heat the way some fill materials can, so it holds its shape through hot Valley summers and under repeated vehicle loads. Its angular faces lock together once compacted, which keeps the base stable even with daily driving over it. It also drains quickly during the rainy months, so water does not pool under the surface.
How do I figure out how much #57 crushed stone I need?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and the depth you want in inches, then multiply those numbers together and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. This stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so take that cubic yard figure, multiply by 2,700 and divide by 2,000 to land on tons. Round up slightly for compaction, then confirm the total with the calculator before ordering.
Does #57 crushed stone need to be compacted?
Yes, for load bearing uses such as driveways, parking pads and retaining wall backfill. Spread it in layers a few inches thick and compact each one before adding the next rather than dumping the full depth in one pass. Skipping this step leaves gaps that let the base shift or rut under vehicle weight, especially on a pad that sees daily traffic.
Can #57 crushed stone be used for a shed or ADU pad?
Yes, it is a common base layer under sheds, garages and accessory dwelling units. A compacted layer keeps the structure level and drains water away from the foundation instead of letting it pool underneath. It is usually topped with a leveling layer of sand or fine material before the final surface, whether that is a concrete slab, pavers or a gravel finish.
What should I check before a delivery truck arrives at a Burbank address?
Confirm there is a clear path to the drop point, including driveway width, gate clearance and any low wires or branches along the approach. Mark exactly where the load should go, since alley access and shared driveways on some lots leave little room to reposition once the stone is on the ground. Larger loads arrive on bigger trucks, so a tight site sometimes works better split across two deliveries.
What is the difference between #57 stone and pea gravel?
#57 stone is larger, about three quarters to one inch, with sharp angular edges that lock together under compaction. Pea gravel is smaller and rounded, suited more to walkways and decorative ground cover than structural work. For driveways, parking pads and anything that carries regular vehicle weight, #57 stone is the sturdier choice.
Can #57 crushed stone be used under pavers?
Yes, it is one of the more common base materials under paver driveways and patios. A compacted layer gives pavers a stable, well draining base that resists settling under vehicle or foot traffic. It is typically finished with a thin leveling layer of sand or fine material before the pavers are set.
