Crushed Stone Delivery Across the Jackson Area
Mississippi's capital sits in the middle of the state, a metro area built on ground that holds water longer than sandy soil further south. #57 crushed stone, an angular gray stone graded between three quarters of an inch and a full inch, gives homeowners and contractors here a material that locks together once it is spread and compacted, instead of washing out the first time a summer storm rolls through. The city is home to about 141,000 people across a mix of older neighborhoods with mature trees and newer subdivisions still filling in on the outskirts. Whichever part of town a project sits in, the clay underneath usually needs help draining, and a layer of this stone under a driveway, patio slab or shed pad is one of the simplest ways to give water somewhere to go besides pooling against a foundation.
Where #57 Crushed Stone Works Best Around Jackson
Contractors around Jackson lean on #57 crushed stone for driveway base under a topping layer, for French drains along foundations that fight standing water after heavy rain, and for filling low spots where grass never quite takes. The angular shape locks pieces together under a compactor, which matters on gently sloped lots where a rounder stone would migrate downhill after a season of storms. It also works well as a bed for septic drain fields and as backfill around drainage pipe, since water moves through the gaps between pieces rather than pooling on top. Homeowners building a shed or a detached garage often order a load to spread and tamp before the slab goes down, since a compacted stone base keeps the pad from settling unevenly once the structure's weight is on it.
Per-Ton Pricing for #57 Crushed Stone
Pricing for #57 crushed stone in Jackson runs on a sliding scale: order more and the per-ton rate drops, and the delivery charge steps down right along with it.
| Order size | Price per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 tons | $205 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 to 14 tons | $117 | Same or next day |
| 15 tons or more | $92 | Free |
The lowest rate is $92 a ton, and it applies once an order reaches fifteen tons, the same point where the delivery charge is waived entirely.
Figuring Out How Much Stone You Need
Start by measuring the length and width of the area in feet, then pick a depth in inches; two to four inches is typical for stone under a driveway or path. Multiply length by width by depth, then divide by 324 to convert that figure into cubic yards. #57 crushed stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so multiplying the cubic yard figure by 1.35 gives a tonnage estimate, or skip the arithmetic with our stone calculator, which takes a footprint and a depth and returns tons directly. Rounding up slightly is worth doing: a load that comes up short means waiting on a second delivery, and a small surplus is easy to spread along an edge or hold for a later project.
Delivery Windows and Lead Times
Three tiers govern how fast a load reaches an address in Jackson: one to two business days for the smallest orders, same-day or next-day service once an order reaches eight tons, and no wait on the fee at all once an order hits fifteen tons or more. Delivery in Jackson, including truck access notes and what a driver needs to unload, is covered on the city delivery page. Most residential driveways can accept a direct drop from a standard dump truck; tighter lots sometimes need the pile placed closer to the street, which is worth flagging when the order is placed.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Jackson, MS
Placing an order takes a ZIP code, a delivery address and a tonnage figure, nothing more. Pea gravel, river rock and topsoil price out by the ton here too, just like this stone. Mulch is the one exception, billed by the cubic yard instead. Once quantity and a delivery window are set, a driver calls ahead so someone on site can point to exactly where the pile should land. #57 Crushed Stone in MS covers pricing and delivery for other cities across the state, useful for a project that spans more than one location.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone rather than a rounded river material, it holds a slope better and resists rutting under vehicle traffic, which matters on any property with a grade change between the street and a garage or shed.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Jackson
Around Jackson, #57 crushed stone is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard. 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. Plan on roughly 80 sq ft of coverage per ton at 3 inches deep, which puts a single-car driveway in the 4 to 8 ton bracket.
How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Jackson
Jackson 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. Jackson sits at about 141,449 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Jackson
Delivery in Jackson 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.

What is #57 crushed stone used for in Jackson?
Around Jackson it works as a driveway base, a French drain fill along foundations that fight standing water, and a bed for septic and stormwater pipe. The angular pieces lock together once compacted, so the material holds its shape under vehicle weight and drains faster than the clay soil common across the metro area. Sheds, patios and detached garages often sit on a compacted layer of it before the finished surface goes down.
How is #57 crushed stone priced?
Pricing drops in three steps as the order grows: a flat rate applies under eight tons, a lower rate applies from eight tons up to fifteen tons, and the lowest per-ton rate applies at fifteen tons and beyond, which is also where the delivery charge goes away. Enter a Jackson ZIP code on the order page to see the exact delivered rate for a specific tonnage before confirming anything.
How is #57 crushed stone different from pea gravel or river rock?
#57 crushed stone is angular, the result of crushing larger rock, so the pieces have flat faces that grip against each other once compacted. Pea gravel and river rock are naturally rounded and smoother, which makes them shift more underfoot and less suited to a load-bearing base. All three price out by the ton in Jackson, but the angular shape is what makes #57 the better pick under a driveway or slab.
How long does delivery take once I order?
Smaller orders under eight tons typically arrive within one to two business days. Orders of eight tons or more usually go out same-day or next-day, and any order of fifteen tons or larger also qualifies for delivery with no added charge. The exact window for a given Jackson address is confirmed on the delivery page before checkout.
How much #57 crushed stone do I need for a small project?
For a ten foot by ten foot pad at three inches deep, multiply 10 by 10 by 3 and divide by 324, which comes to just under one cubic yard. At roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, that works out to about 1.25 tons. Larger or oddly shaped areas are easier to check with the stone calculator, which takes a footprint and a depth and returns a tonnage figure directly.
Does #57 crushed stone need a compacted base underneath it?
For a driveway or parking pad, yes: a few inches of compacted stone under the finished layer keeps the surface from rutting under vehicle weight. For drainage uses like a French drain or backfill around pipe, it can go straight into a trench without a separate base, since its job there is letting water move through rather than carrying a load.
Can the truck dump the stone right onto my driveway?
Most driveways in Jackson can take a direct drop from a standard dump truck, provided there is enough overhead clearance and stable ground for the truck to sit on while it tips the load. Tighter lots, steep driveways or soft ground sometimes call for the pile to be dropped closer to the street instead, which the driver can confirm on site before unloading.
Is there a minimum order for delivery in Jackson?
Yes, the smallest standard order is two tons, priced at the entry rate with its own delivery charge. Anyone who needs less than that for a small repair or touch-up job should check with the order desk before purchasing, since delivering less than three tons is not standard for this material.
