#57 Crushed Stone in Syracuse: Local Overview
Syracuse anchors the Syracuse, NY metro area in central New York, a city of roughly 140K people surrounded by a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. Local contractors and homeowners keep steady demand for #57 stone through both the building season and winter drainage repairs, and the same material moves out to the wider region toward Rochester and Buffalo to the west and down toward the Hudson Valley to the southeast. #57 Crushed Stone in New York follows the same size and grading everywhere in the state, so a Syracuse order matches the same specification used anywhere else New York wide.

Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone in Syracuse
The stone's angular, open structure lets water pass through instead of pooling, which makes it a common choice under concrete slabs, inside French drains and along foundation perimeters where standing water causes problems through Syracuse's wetter months. It also works as a driveway base layer, a walkway sub base, or backfill around drain pipe and retaining walls. Its size compacts into a stable base without turning to mud the way finer material can. Landscapers around Syracuse also spread it as a working surface under sheds, around utility pads and along drainage swales where a hard, well drained footing matters more than a polished finish.
How Much #57 Crushed Stone You Need
#57 crushed stone weighs about 2700 pounds per cubic yard, so turning a project's square footage and depth into a ton figure takes a short conversion. Use the calculator to enter your length, width and depth and get a ton total without doing that math by hand, then round up slightly to cover compaction.
Pricing Notes for Syracuse Orders
Pricing runs by the ton and drops as order size climbs. Orders of 3 tons or more run. At 8 tons or more, the rate falls to. At 15 tons or more, the rate drops to and delivery is included at no extra charge. Smaller orders carry a delivery fee on top of the per ton rate; larger orders fold that cost into the lower rate instead. Contractors running several Syracuse jobs off one delivery often size the order up to the 15 ton tier on purpose, since the lower per ton rate and free delivery together tend to beat ordering smaller loads more often.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone for Syracuse Delivery
Confirm your tonnage first, then place the order with a delivery address in Syracuse. Orders of 15 tons or more ship free and schedule best when placed a few days ahead of the job. Smaller residential orders of 3 to 8 tons still arrive within a couple of business days, so a weekend project can usually be scheduled during the week it's needed.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is a washed, angular gray aggregate screened to about three quarters of an inch up to a full inch across, tight enough grading that it compacts evenly instead of leaving gaps a finer material would fill with dust. In Syracuse, where the ground freezes and thaws through a long winter season, that open structure matters: water moves down through the stone rather than sitting on top and refreezing, which keeps a driveway base or a French drain from heaving the way a denser fill can. It carries about 2700 pounds to the cubic yard, dense enough to stay put under vehicle weight and light equipment without shifting or rutting. Contractors around Syracuse use it as a base course under asphalt and pavers, as backfill around foundation drain pipe, and as a standalone surface for utility access roads and equipment yards where a hard, well drained footing matters more than a finished look. Because the stone is angular rather than rounded, individual pieces lock against each other once compacted, giving the base more resistance to lateral movement than a rounded pea gravel or river rock would provide in the same application.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Syracuse
Around Syracuse, #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.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Syracuse
Syracuse 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. Syracuse sits at about 144,000 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Syracuse
Delivery in Syracuse 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 size is #57 crushed stone?
#57 crushed stone runs from about three quarters of an inch to one inch across, a mid size angular gravel. The angular shape locks together once compacted, which is why it holds up well under driveways and as backfill around drain pipe, unlike smoother, rounder stone that tends to shift underfoot over time.
Is #57 crushed stone sold by the ton or the cubic yard?
#57 crushed stone for Syracuse delivery is sold and priced by the ton, not the cubic yard. Every tier on this page, from the smallest three ton order up to the free delivery threshold at 15 tons, is a per ton rate, so plan and order your quantity in tons rather than yards.
How many tons of #57 crushed stone do I need for a driveway?
Tonnage depends on the driveway's length, width and how deep you place the stone. #57 crushed stone weighs about 2700 pounds per cubic yard, so a coverage estimate needs that depth converted to yards first, then to tons. The calculator in the how much you need section handles that conversion for a Syracuse project.
Can #57 crushed stone be used for drainage?
Yes. The angular shape and size leave enough space between pieces for water to drain through rather than pool, which is why it is a standard choice for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and the base layer under Syracuse driveways and patios where water needs somewhere to go.
How fast does #57 crushed stone deliver to Syracuse?
Delivery speed depends on order size. Orders of 3 tons or more ship in 1 to 2 business days. Order 8 tons or more and delivery moves to same or next day. Orders of 15 tons or more ship free, reflecting the larger truckload that size of order requires from the delivery yard.
Does #57 crushed stone need a base layer underneath it?
For most driveway and walkway jobs, #57 crushed stone works well as the base layer itself rather than needing one underneath, since it compacts into a stable surface on its own. On very soft or wet ground, some contractors add a coarser stone layer first, then top it with #57 for the finished surface.
Does the price include delivery to Syracuse addresses?
It depends on order size. Orders of 3 tons or 8 tons include a separate delivery fee added to the per ton price. Orders of 15 tons or more include delivery at no extra charge, since the per ton rate at that tier is already built to cover it.
