Get #57 Crushed Stone Delivered in Yonkers, NY

Wedged between the Hudson River and the New York City line, Yonkers packs dense residential blocks, older multi-family housing and pockets of steep, rocky terrain into one of the largest cities in Westchester County. #57 crushed stone delivery in Yonkers, NY gives contractors working those tight, sloped lots a base material that locks together and drains fast: a gray, angular aggregate sold by the ton, not the cubic yard. What follows covers where it gets used around the city, how fast a truck can reach a Yonkers address, how the per ton rate shifts with order size, and how to work out the right tonnage for a job.

Where Yonkers Properties Put This Stone to Work

On the steep, rocky lots common through much of Yonkers, #57 crushed stone goes down most often as a compacted base under retaining walls, driveways carved into a hillside, and drainage channels that carry runoff away from a foundation built into a slope. Its angular pieces interlock once compacted, which matters on grades where a rounded, smooth stone would simply roll or wash downhill after a storm. It also fills French drains along older multi-family buildings where basement water intrusion is common, and it hardens small parking areas and equipment pads on lots too narrow or steep for a full paved surface. Landscapers terracing yards on the city's hillier streets favor it for the same interlocking, free draining quality.

Yonkers, New York: A Dense City on the Hudson

Yonkers carries roughly 211,000 residents, making it one of the larger cities in the greater New York metro area, and it sits directly on the New York City line along the Hudson River. The rest of Westchester County spreads out about 8 miles further north, northern New Jersey communities including Bergen County sit roughly 11 miles west across the river, and Paterson lies about 19 miles away in the same direction. Manhattan and the rest of New York City are about 20 miles south, with Long Island a similar distance to the east. Housing stock here runs dense and often older, built on terrain that shifts from flat river frontage to steep hillside within a few blocks.

#57 Crushed Stone Delivery Times Around Yonkers

Orders under 8 tons typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. Once an order reaches 8 tons, that window generally narrows to same day or the next business day. A full 15 ton load moves to the front of the schedule, and 15 tons is also the point where the delivery fee disappears entirely. Delivery in Yonkers covers the current service area and lead times for this location. Given how dense traffic can get through this stretch of the metro area, confirming a delivery window a day or two ahead helps keep a project on schedule.

Working Out Tonnage on a Tight Yonkers Lot

A cubic yard of #57 crushed stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, which is the number behind every coverage estimate. At a 2 inch depth, a ton spreads across roughly 120 square feet, while a deeper 4 inch base covers closer to 60 square feet per ton, useful to know on the narrow driveways and retaining wall backfill common around here. The general formula is length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divided by 324, to reach cubic yards before converting to tons. A narrow driveway strip 8 feet by 30 feet at 4 inches deep works out to close to 4 tons. The #57 crushed stone calculator handles that conversion directly from your own measurements.

Per Ton Rates at Each Order Size

Three tiers apply here. The entry tier starts at 2 tons and runs $212 a ton, with delivery in 1 to 2 business days. At 8 tons the rate drops to $124 a ton, usually arriving same day or the next business day. Once an order reaches 15 tons, the rate bottoms out at $99 a ton and the delivery fee is waived completely, which matters given how much a delivery fee can add on a tight, hard to access urban lot. The final delivered total is confirmed by ZIP code at checkout, since travel distance from the nearest yard factors into the price.

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone for a Yonkers Address

Placing an order takes a ZIP code, a ton count and a workable delivery date. Because the rate improves at both the 8 and 15 ton marks, it often pays to round an order up rather than stop just short of the next tier. Given the smaller, steeper lots common around Yonkers, most base and retaining wall jobs run between 3 and 10 tons.

About #57 Crushed Stone

Serving Yonkers customers, our #57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate created by crushing quarried rock and then screening it to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. The broken, jagged faces of each piece lock against their neighbors once compacted, holding a shape that smooth, rounded stone cannot on a slope or grade. A cubic yard weighs about 2,700 pounds, heavy enough that it sells and ships by the ton rather than the cubic yard used for lighter materials like mulch. Because the gaps between pieces stay open under compaction, water moves through the layer instead of collecting against a wall or foundation, a trait that matters on the hillside lots and older, densely built streets common through Yonkers.

That interlock and drainage combination is why it shows up behind retaining walls, inside French drains, under driveways cut into a slope and as a base for small parking pads on tight urban lots. It also holds up as a low maintenance surface for equipment areas where pouring a full paved surface is not practical. Sizing and grading stay consistent between deliveries, so coverage math worked out for one Yonkers project applies to the next one as well.
