57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Corona, CA
Homeowners and small contractors across Corona order #57 crushed stone delivery for driveway bases, drainage trenches and backfill work that has to shed water quickly. Corona sits inside the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro, a stretch of Riverside County where clay heavy ground makes a well draining stone base worth the extra step under any new build. With a population near 160,000, Corona has enough single family lots and new construction that stone deliveries here run all year, not just in the spring landscaping rush. This page walks through what the stone is used for locally, how to figure the right quantity, how delivery is scheduled, and what it costs by the ton.
Because Corona is inland rather than right on the coast, temperature swings between summer and winter are wider than in nearby beach cities, and ground that dries out hard in summer can turn soft again once the rain arrives. A crushed stone base under a driveway or shed pad keeps that seasonal shift from turning into standing water or a sunken slab, which is the main reason it stays a popular order here regardless of the season.
Best Uses for This Stone in Corona
Most Corona orders go toward one of a few jobs:
- A compacted base under a new gravel or paver driveway
- French drains and drainage trenches around a foundation
- Backfill behind retaining walls where trapped water is a risk
- A stable surface under sheds, RV pads and parking areas
- Topping for utility access paths that see regular vehicle traffic
, pea gravel, river rock and topsoil are all sold by the ton on this site. Mulch is the one exception among Corona's bulk materials, priced instead by the cubic yard. Most residential base jobs in Corona land in the 3 to 8 ton range, while a full driveway or a longer retaining wall run can climb well past that.
How Much You Need
Start by multiplying the length of the area in feet by the width in feet, then multiply that by the depth in inches, and divide the whole figure by 324 to land on cubic yards. Punch those same numbers into the 57 crushed stone calculator and it converts that volume straight into tons using this stone's weight, so you only have to measure once. A driveway base usually runs 4 to 6 inches deep, while a drainage trench at the bottom of a French drain rarely needs more than 2 to 3 inches of stone. As an example, a 30 foot by 10 foot driveway section at a 4 inch depth comes out to a little under 4 cubic yards, which lands right around 5 tons once the calculator converts it, squarely inside the smallest pricing tier below.
Pricing Notes
Pricing is set in three tiers, and the rate per ton drops as the order size climbs, which rewards planning a project as one delivery instead of ordering small amounts more than once.
| Order size | Price per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 tons | $223 | 1 to 2 business days, delivery fee applies |
| 8 to 14 tons | $135 | Same or next day, delivery fee applies |
| 15 tons or more | $109 | Free delivery |
Reach 15 tons and the delivery charge disappears entirely; stay under that mark and a delivery fee is added based on the size of the load. Enter your Corona ZIP code through the calculator or at checkout to see the exact delivered total before you order.
Delivery and Lead Times in Corona
Smaller orders in the 3 to 7 ton range typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days of booking. Once an order reaches 8 tons, same day or next day scheduling opens up, and that same fast window carries through to the free delivery tier at 15 tons and above.

About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is an angular, crushed aggregate sized between three quarters of an inch and one inch, with sharp broken faces that catch against each other once the material is spread and compacted. It is quarried and screened to a consistent gradation, so voids between the individual stones stay open enough for water to pass through instead of pooling on top.
Its gray color works with most driveways, walkways and hardscape palettes, and that same open gradation is exactly why contractors reach for it under structures and drainage lines that need a stable base with somewhere for water to go. It also gets used behind retaining walls and along foundation perimeters where standing water is a recurring problem.
Because the pieces stay angular rather than naturally rounded, a compacted layer locks into place instead of shifting the way a rounded pea gravel does underfoot. That makes it a practical choice for equipment pads, utility access paths and any surface area that has to carry repeated weight without rutting or sinking.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Corona
Local Corona yards quote #57 crushed stone by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul. Send your ZIP and load size and we will send back a same-hour quote with the truck rate and the per-ton figure spelled out. A ton of this material spreads across about 80 sq ft when laid 3 inches deep, useful when you are sizing a patio base or a walkway run.
How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Corona
In and around Corona, #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 161,540 people, the Corona order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Corona
A typical Corona 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 size and color is #57 crushed stone?
It is an angular aggregate sized between three quarters of an inch and one inch, with a gray color that suits most driveways and hardscapes. The angular shape comes from crushing rather than natural rounding, so the pieces interlock and pack tighter than a rounded gravel of the same size once they are spread and compacted.
What projects in Corona use #57 crushed stone the most?
Most Corona orders go toward a compacted base under a driveway or paver patio, drainage trenches and French drains, backfill behind retaining walls, and working surfaces under sheds or RV pads. The open gradation lets water pass through instead of pooling, which matters in a part of Riverside County where the ground itself drains slowly on its own.
How do I calculate how many tons of stone I need?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply those together, then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Enter that figure into the 57 crushed stone calculator on this site and it converts the volume into tons for you, based on this stone's weight per cubic yard.
How quickly can crushed stone be delivered in Corona?
Delivery speed depends on order size. Orders of 3 to 7 tons typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days, orders of 8 tons or more often go out same day or the next business day, and orders that reach the free delivery tier follow that same fast schedule. Enter your Corona ZIP code at checkout to see the delivery window for your address.
Is there a minimum order for stone delivery?
The smallest listed pricing tier starts at two tons, which covers most small landscaping jobs, drainage repairs and shed pads. That tier carries a higher per ton rate than larger orders, and the rate steps down twice more as the order size grows toward the free delivery level.
Does ordering more stone lower the price per ton?
Yes. The per ton rate drops at each pricing tier as order size increases, and once an order reaches 15 tons or more, delivery is added on top of that lowest rate at no extra charge. Smaller orders pay more per ton and also carry a separate delivery fee.
Will #57 crushed stone drain well under a patio or shed?
Yes. The open, angular gradation leaves small gaps between the pieces even after compaction, so water moves down through the layer instead of collecting on the surface. That is a large part of why it gets used under patios, sheds and other structures where trapped moisture would otherwise be a problem.
Is #57 crushed stone the same thing as gravel?
Not exactly. Gravel usually refers to naturally rounded stone, and #57 crushed stone is mechanically crushed and screened, which leaves the pieces angular rather than smooth. That angular shape is what lets it lock into place and hold a compacted base better than a rounded material of the same size.
