Kent, Washington at a Glance
Kent is home to about 137,000 people in the southern half of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area. The city sits close enough to Federal Way, Renton, and Bellevue that a single delivery route often serves several stops in one afternoon, and Redmond and Seattle are still a reasonable drive beyond that. Building here ranges from established neighborhoods near downtown to newer development on the city's edges, and both call for the same dense, angular stone once a project moves outdoors. Wet winters push a lot of that outdoor work toward drainage rather than pure landscaping, which keeps this stone in steady demand year round.
Best Uses for This Stone in Kent
is an angular, gray aggregate sized between three quarters of an inch and a full inch, which lets it lock together once it is spread and compacted. In Kent it works well under driveways, where the sharp edges resist rutting better than a rounder pea gravel. It also drains fast, so it shows up often in French drains, foundation backfill, and the gravel bed under a patio or shed. Contractors use it as a base layer beneath pavers or concrete slabs because it compacts firm and still lets water pass through. On sloped lots it also gets used to armor a drainage swale or a ditch, since the heavier, angular pieces stay put under running water better than lighter fill.
How Much You Need
Multiply the length and width of the area in feet, multiply that by the depth in inches, then divide the result by 324 to land on the number of cubic yards, and the calculator converts that figure into tons for you automatically. Run the numbers through the #57 crushed stone calculator before you order so the truck arrives with the right load the first time. A typical driveway base runs three to four inches deep, while a drainage trench might only need a couple of inches sitting below the pipe. Rounding your depth up slightly is usually smarter than rounding down, since a thin base compacts less evenly and settles faster under regular traffic.
Delivery and Lead Times
Smaller orders of three tons or more ship in one to two business days. Once an order reaches eight tons, Kent addresses typically see same or next day service. Order 15 tons or more and the delivery charge drops to zero, the highest tier the pricing table shows for this stone in Kent. Check delivery in Kent for the full schedule and any notes that might affect your route. Trucks generally need a clear, level spot to tip the load, so it helps to plan where the pile will sit before the driver arrives.
Pricing Notes
| Order size | Price per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons or more | $211 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons or more | $123 | Same or next day |
| 15 tons or more | $98 | Free delivery |
These are the per-ton rates at each threshold. The more you order at once, the lower the rate runs, and the delivery fee itself disappears entirely at the top tier. Contractors running several jobs in the same week often combine loads to clear the 15 ton mark, since the savings on the per-ton rate and the waived delivery charge both land on the same order.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Kent, WA
Placing an order takes a ZIP code and a quantity in tons, and the checkout screen shows the per-ton rate and any delivery charge before you confirm. For material anywhere else in the state, the #57 Crushed Stone in Washington hub lists every city currently covered. Keep the quantity in tons throughout the process, since this stone is never sold by the cubic yard. Double check the delivery address and any access notes before you submit the order, since a narrow driveway or a locked gate can slow the driver down on the day of delivery.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is a crushed, angular aggregate sized between about three quarters of an inch and a full inch, sorted from larger rock and screened to keep the pieces within that range. Its gray color and rough, broken faces come from the crushing process itself rather than natural weathering, which is what separates it from smoother river rock or pea gravel pulled from a stream bed. Because the pieces are angular rather than round, they interlock once spread and compacted, forming a surface that resists rutting under vehicle weight and foot traffic alike.
That combination of interlock and open gaps between pieces is also why the stone drains so well. Water moves through a compacted layer of #57 stone instead of pooling on top of it, which makes it a standard choice for French drains, drainage trenches, and the base layer under patios, sheds, and concrete slabs. It also serves as backfill around foundations and retaining walls, where quick drainage away from the structure matters as much as the fill itself.
One cubic yard of this stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, roughly 1.35 tons, so a load that looks modest in a wheelbarrow adds up fast once you are covering a driveway or a wide trench. It ships in bulk, dropped by the truckload rather than bagged, and it is sold and delivered by the ton rather than measured out by the cubic yard.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Kent
Around Kent, #57 crushed stone is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Kent
Kent 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. Kent sits at about 136,588 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Kent
Delivery in Kent 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 a full inch across, made of angular, gray pieces rather than rounded pebbles. That shape lets individual stones lock together once they are spread and compacted, which is why contractors reach for it under driveways and patios instead of a smoother, rounder gravel. It still drains well despite the tight fit, since the gaps between angular pieces stay open.
What is #57 crushed stone used for in Kent?
In Kent, this stone shows up most often as a driveway base, a drainage layer around foundations, and fill under patios, sheds, and walkways. Its angular shape compacts into a firm surface that still lets water move through, so it holds up under vehicle weight without turning to mud during the wetter months. Contractors also use it as backfill around retaining walls and in French drains.
Does #57 crushed stone sell by the ton or the cubic yard?
Every order here is billed by the ton, not the cubic yard. That is standard across all of the stone, gravel, and sand this site carries. If you are used to buying bagged mulch or bulk topsoil by the yard, keep in mind #57 crushed stone works differently: pricing, minimums, and the delivery calculator are all set up around tons.
How do I figure out how many tons to order?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide how deep you want the stone, usually two to four inches for most driveway and drainage jobs. Plug those numbers into the calculator, which handles the length times width times depth math and converts the result straight into tons, so you are not doing the conversion by hand before placing your order.
How fast can #57 crushed stone reach a Kent address?
Smaller orders, starting at three tons, typically ship within one to two business days. Orders of eight tons or more usually move faster, often same day or the next business day. The exact window depends on the route and how far in advance you order, so placing the order early in the week tends to give the widest scheduling choice.
Is there a minimum order for delivery?
Yes, orders start at two tons, which is enough for a small drainage run or a short section of driveway base. Below that amount, delivery is not offered for this stone, since a partial truckload does not make the trip worthwhile. If your project needs less than two tons, consider combining it with another material order or a neighboring project to hit the minimum.
When does delivery become free?
Delivery is included at no extra charge once an order reaches 15 tons, the largest of the three order sizes offered for this stone. Smaller orders still carry a delivery charge that shows up at checkout before you confirm, and that charge steps down as the tonnage goes up. Combining a driveway job with another stone project on the same property is one way to reach the free tier.
Can #57 crushed stone go under a concrete slab or pavers?
Yes, it is a common base layer under both. The angular pieces compact into a stable surface that resists shifting, and because it drains well, water does not pool under the slab or pavers the way it can with a finer, less permeable base material. A few inches of compacted stone under pavers or a slab is standard practice for this type of aggregate.
