#57 Crushed Stone Delivery Pricing in Pomona, CA

Pomona homeowners and landscapers pulling out thirsty lawns for gravel beds and dry creek beds are some of the steadiest buyers of #57 crushed stone delivery in Pomona, and contractors add to that with driveway bases and drainage runs across eastern Los Angeles County. This angular gray stone ships to Pomona by the ton, with the rate per ton falling as the order grows. The sections below cover where it gets used locally, how many tons a typical Pomona project needs, what the tiered rate looks like, and how fast a load can reach your address.

Pomona's Soil, Climate, and Growth

Pomona is a city of roughly 148,000 people on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, in the San Gabriel Valley where the flat valley floor starts climbing toward the foothills, and the ground underneath is a mix of decomposed granite jobs, whether that is a base under a paver walkway or fill behind a block wall.

Where #57 Crushed Stone Goes to Work in Pomona

The most common request in Pomona is a compacted base under a gravel or paver driveway, since the clay and decomposed granite subgrade found through this part of the valley needs a firm layer before pavers or a topping stone go down. It also lines French drains and footing trenches on lots where winter rain does not soak in fast enough, and backs up retaining walls on the sloped parcels near the foothills, where drainage behind the wall matters as much as the wall itself. Homeowners converting turf to a low water landscape often spread it as exposed groundcover around planting beds, since it holds its angular shape and does not scatter the way rounded gravel does underfoot.

Figuring Out How Many Tons You Need

Start with the square footage of the area, then multiply the length in feet by the width in feet and by the planned depth in inches, and divide that total by 324 to get a cubic yard figure. From there, convert to tons using this stone's weight of about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, since every order here is priced and delivered in tons rather than yards. A driveway base around 10 feet wide and 40 feet long at 4 inches deep lands close to 6 tons. Rather than run that math by hand, the #57 crushed stone calculator converts your measurements straight into a ton figure.

What #57 Crushed Stone Costs in Pomona

Pricing breaks into three ton based tiers. Orders of 3 tons or more run $324 a ton, delivered in 1 to 2 business days. Orders of 8 tons or more drop to $231 a ton, with same or next day service in most cases. Orders of 15 tons or more, where most driveway and drainage jobs in Pomona land, bring the rate down to $200 a ton and the delivery charge disappears from the invoice entirely. The delivered price is finished once your ZIP is entered at checkout, since hauling distance factors into the total.

Delivery Windows Across Pomona

Delivery timing tracks the same three tiers as the price. Smaller loads of 3 to 7 tons typically arrive in 1 to 2 business days. Orders of 8 to 14 tons usually move out the same day or the next business day. Full truckload orders of 15 tons or more get scheduled fastest alongside the free delivery rate.

Placing Your Pomona Order

Ordering #57 crushed stone delivery for a Pomona address takes a ZIP code, a ton count, and a delivery date. Since the per ton rate steps down at 8 tons and again at 15 tons, rounding a borderline order up to the next tier is often the cheaper move overall.

Most Pomona jobs, from driveway bases to drainage runs, land somewhere in the 6 to 15 ton range.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#57 crushed stone is an angular gray aggregate, crushed from quarried rock and screened down to a consistent three quarter to one inch particle size. Its broken, jagged faces are what separate it from naturally rounded material like pea gravel or river rock: those sharp edges catch against each other under compaction, locking the stone into a stable base rather than letting it roll or shift underfoot. A cubic yard weighs close to 2,700 pounds, considerably heavier than mulch or garden soil, which is the reason it ships and prices by the ton rather than the yard.

The same angular shape that makes it lock together also makes it drain well, since the gaps between pieces stay open instead of packing tight the way sand or fine gravel does. Water moves through the material rather than pooling on top, which is why it turns up so often under driveways, inside French drains, and as backfill behind retaining walls. Grading standards for #57 stone are consistent across most suppliers nationwide, so the particle size and drainage performance stay the same regardless of which yard fills a given order.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Pomona

Pomona contractors keep #57 crushed stone on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Top of the list is driveway gravel, where the material is rolled out in tight urban lots and infill builds and screeded to grade. Right behind that is drainage gravel, common in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Pomona sits at about 147,966 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.

Delivery day in Pomona

Delivery in Pomona runs out of the nearest pit; you get a two hour arrival window the evening prior and a call when the driver leaves the scale. Plan for 12 ft of clear path for a tandem and 14 ft for a tri-axle, plus a level area at the dump point so the bed lifts straight. 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.
