Bulk #57 crushed stone delivered in Warren, MI. Stone size 3/4 - 1. Gray color.
Starting from $513.97 delivered to Warren for 2 tons, our minimum order
Warren is Michigan's third largest city, home to about 138,000 people in Macomb County just north of Detroit, and #57 crushed stone delivery here moves quickly through a mix of established residential streets and industrial corridors. The stone itself is a gray, angular aggregate between three quarters of an inch and one inch across, sold and delivered by the ton rather than the cubic yard. This page covers how fast delivery arrives, where the stone gets used locally, how much a typical job needs, and how the ton pricing is structured.
How Fast #57 Crushed Stone Delivery Reaches Warren
Smaller orders of 3 to 7 tons typically ship in 1 to 2 business days. Once an order reaches 8 to 14 tons, same day or next business day delivery becomes the norm. Full truckloads of 15 tons or more go through the same scheduling steps and add free delivery on top, since that tier waives the delivery charge entirely. Delivery in Warren lists current lead times and anything specific to your address or neighborhood.
Where Warren Crews Put #57 Stone to Work
Warren's mix of postwar residential streets and industrial corridors keeps demand for #57 stone steady, mostly as the compacted base under driveways, parking pads and equipment yards. It also lines French drains and footing trenches on lots with heavier clay soil, and serves as backfill behind retaining walls and foundation drains where standing water is a recurring problem after spring rain. Some contractors leave it exposed on utility pads, since it compacts firm enough to carry equipment weight without rutting.
Many of Warren's residential streets date to the postwar boom, with ranch style homes on lots that tend to be wider than the older, tighter parcels found closer to Detroit, which usually means more driveway and side yard area to cover per job. Michigan's freeze and thaw winters also put pressure on any base that is not compacted well, so contractors here lean on #57 stone under slabs and pads specifically because it resists that seasonal heaving better than loose fill.
Warren Inside the Detroit Metro Area
Warren sits in Macomb County within the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro area, with Roseville about 4 miles away, Sterling Heights around 6 miles out, Detroit roughly 13 miles to the south, and Dearborn close to 19 miles away. The ton based pricing on this page applies the same way across all of those cities. As Michigan's third largest city, Warren also carries a heavier industrial footprint than most of its immediate neighbors, which keeps demand for bulk stone steady from both residential crews and commercial job sites.
Figuring Your Ton Count
The standard formula covers it: take the length in feet, multiply by the width in feet, multiply again by the depth in inches, and divide by 324 to land on cubic yards. Because #57 stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, multiply that yard number by roughly 1.35 to convert to tons, the unit Warren orders are actually billed in. Skipping the manual math is easy with the crushed stone calculator, which turns your dimensions into a ton figure directly.
Ton Pricing in Warren
Pea gravel, river rock and topsoil all move through Warren the same way #57 stone does, priced and billed by the ton. Mulch stands apart from that group, since it is priced and sold by the cubic yard instead.
| Order size | Price per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 tons | $187 | Flat fee, 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 to 14 tons | $100 | Lower flat fee, same or next day |
| 15 tons or more | $75 | Free delivery |
Below 15 tons, Warren orders carry a flat delivery fee, one that gets cheaper once you move from the smallest tier into the middle one; cross that mark and the fee goes away completely.

About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is crushed and screened quarry rock, angular in shape, gray in color, and sized to fall between three quarters of an inch and one full inch. The angular faces set it apart from rounded aggregates such as pea gravel or river rock: once spread and run over with a plate compactor, the broken edges catch against each other and lock into a firm, stable layer instead of shifting underfoot. That same interlocking structure leaves enough space between individual pieces for water to drain through rather than collect on the surface.
A cubic yard of this stone weighs in around 2,700 pounds, well beyond the weight of materials priced by the cubic yard such as mulch or compost, which is why #57 stone is sold and delivered by the ton instead. Homeowners typically spread it two to four inches deep for a driveway or walkway base. Drainage trenches and retaining wall backfill often call for a deeper layer instead. Since it is mineral stone rather than an organic product, it holds up for years without breaking down, rotting or needing to be replaced the way a mulch bed periodically does.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Warren
Warren 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. Warren sits at about 137,686 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Warren
Delivery in Warren 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.

How much does #57 crushed stone delivery cost in Warren?
The rate is set by how many tons you order, dropping in three steps as the quantity goes up, with the delivery fee disappearing entirely once an order reaches 15 tons. Enter a Warren ZIP code on this page to see the delivered per ton rate for your specific order size before you check out.
What size and shape is #57 crushed stone?
It is an angular gray stone, crushed and screened to a consistent range of three quarters of an inch to one inch. The broken, angular faces are what separate it from smooth, rounded aggregates like pea gravel, letting it interlock into a firm base once it is spread and compacted rather than rolling or sliding.
How many tons of #57 crushed stone does a Warren driveway need?
It depends on the exact dimensions, but a driveway base near 12 feet wide by 50 feet long at a 4 inch depth typically runs close to 10 tons. A narrower or shallower job needs less, a wider or deeper one needs more. Entering your own measurements into the calculator returns an exact ton figure rather than a rough guess.
When does delivery to Warren become free?
Free delivery kicks in at 15 tons of #57 stone. Orders below that amount carry a flat delivery fee, and the fee is smaller once an order moves from the lowest tier into the middle one. Your Warren ZIP code determines the exact fee that applies below the 15 ton mark.
How quickly can #57 crushed stone get delivered in Warren?
Timing tracks with order size. The 3 to 7 ton tier usually ships within 1 to 2 business days, and the 8 to 14 ton tier often goes out same day or the next business day. Orders of 15 tons or more move through the same process and add free delivery as part of that top tier.
Does #57 crushed stone work for drainage in Warren?
Yes. Its angular shape leaves gaps between pieces that water passes through instead of pooling, which makes it a standard choice for French drains, footing trenches and backfill behind retaining walls on Warren's clay heavy lots. It outperforms smoother materials like sand or rounded gravel in this role, since those pack tighter and drain slower.
Do you deliver #57 crushed stone near Warren?
Yes. The same ton based pricing covers the surrounding area, including Roseville and Sterling Heights just a few miles out, along with Detroit and Dearborn further away. The delivered rate is tied to the ZIP code where the material is dropped off, not to Warren specifically, so enter the job site address.
How does #57 crushed stone compare to river rock?
River rock is naturally rounded and smooth, which lets it shift and roll instead of locking into place. #57 crushed stone is angular, so it interlocks once compacted and holds firm under weight. Warren prices both materials by the ton, but the angular grade is the better structural choice under a driveway or parking pad.
