Palm Coast, FL #57 Crushed Stone Delivery by the Ton

Flagler County's sandy, fast-draining lots and Palm Coast's grid of canal-lined streets are part of why #57 crushed stone delivery is a regular order here, whether the job is a driveway base, a drainage swale or backfill behind a low retaining wall. This gray, angular stone is crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size and priced by the ton, not the cubic yard, since a cubic yard of it weighs close to 2,700 pounds. What follows covers how fast it arrives, what it is used for locally, how the per ton rate is structured and how much a typical job needs.

Lead time is tied to order size. Orders of 3 to 7 tons ship in 1 to 2 business days, orders of 8 to 14 tons usually move same day or the next business day, and full loads of 15 tons or more get scheduling priority along with a waived delivery charge.

Where This Stone Gets Used Around Palm Coast

Palm Coast's platted neighborhoods sit on sandy soil that drains fast but offers little strength on its own, so a compacted stone base under a driveway or paver walkway is standard practice before anything else goes down. The city's canal system and low, flat lots also mean drainage swales and French drains see steady use, since the angular shape of this stone lets water pass through instead of pooling. Backfill behind seawalls and small retaining structures near the canals is a third common use, chosen because it drains rather than holding water against the wall.

Palm Coast at a Glance

Palm Coast is home to roughly 107,000 residents in Flagler County, part of the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metro area on Florida's northeast coast. Daytona Beach sits about 22 miles south and Deltona is around 36 miles away, both close enough for a same-region reference point but outside Palm Coast's own delivery footprint. The city was built out largely as a planned community, so lots tend to be flat, rectangular and already graded, which simplifies most base and drainage work compared to older, uneven terrain.

That planned layout also means many streets share the same lot depth and setback, so a driveway or side-yard project in one section of Palm Coast often needs a similar stone quantity to a comparable project a few streets over. Newer construction on the city's outer sections tends to sit on rougher, unfinished subgrade straight from the builder, which is another reason a compacted stone base is close to standard practice here rather than an upgrade.

How Much #57 Crushed Stone You Need

Figuring volume yourself starts with the same formula used for any bulk stone project: length in feet multiplied by width in feet multiplied by depth in inches, then divided by 324, which gives a cubic yard total. From there, multiplying by 2,700 pounds per yard and dividing by 2,000 converts that number into tons. A 12 by 50 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep lands close to 10 tons using that math. The #57 crushed stone calculator does this automatically once your square footage and depth are entered.

Pea gravel, river rock and topsoil ordered in Palm Coast are also priced by the ton. Mulch breaks that pattern and is measured and sold by the cubic yard instead.

Pricing Notes

• 3 tons or more: $266 a ton, delivered in 1 to 2 business days.
• 8 tons or more: $176 a ton, typically same or next day delivery.
• 15 tons or more: $148 a ton, with the delivery charge dropped entirely.

The final delivered price is calculated from your Palm Coast ZIP code at checkout, since distance from the nearest supplying yard factors into the total.

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Palm Coast

Placing an order takes a ZIP code, a ton count sized to your project, and a preferred delivery date. Because each tier's rate is noticeably lower than the one below it, rounding up to the next bracket often beats ordering just short of it. The #57 Crushed Stone in Florida hub covers pricing and availability in every other Florida city currently served. Most Palm Coast driveway and drainage jobs land somewhere between 6 and 12 tons.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate made by crushing quarried rock and screening it to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. Its broken, irregular faces set it apart from naturally rounded material such as pea gravel or river rock: those sharp edges interlock under compaction and hold their position instead of shifting or rolling. A cubic yard of the material weighs approximately 2,700 pounds, noticeably heavier than a cubic yard of mulch or topsoil, which is why it ships and prices by the ton instead of by volume.

Because the pieces are angular rather than round, small voids remain between them even after compaction, letting water drain through the layer rather than sitting on top of it. That property is why the stone shows up so often under driveways, inside drainage swales and French drains, and as backfill behind retaining walls and seawalls near low, water-adjacent lots. It also holds up well as an exposed surface on equipment pads or side-yard parking areas, where durability and drainage matter more than a smooth walking surface. Grading standards for #57 stone stay consistent across suppliers, so the particle size and performance are predictable regardless of which yard fills the order.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Palm Coast

In and around Palm Coast, #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 106,729 people, the Palm Coast order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.

Delivery day in Palm Coast

A typical Palm Coast 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.
