#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Concord, CA
Concord sits inland in the East Bay, part of the wider San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metro, and #57 crushed stone delivery in Concord, CA puts a sharp-edged, ton-priced base stone on the ground for exactly that kind of terrain. This is an angular gray stone, crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, and it is the standard choice wherever a base layer needs to lock together and drain instead of shifting underfoot. Concord is home to about 124,000 residents, and its mix of established ranch-style blocks and newer subdivisions keeps demand for this stone spread across driveway rebuilds, drainage fixes and small commercial lots alike.
Low-lying parts of the East Bay carry heavy clay soil that holds water rather than letting it pass through, and winters here bring most of the year's rain in a short stretch. An angular, open-graded stone like this one is built for that combination: water moves through the voids between the sharp faces instead of pooling on top. Neighboring East Bay cities, including Richmond and Antioch about 21 miles out, Berkeley about 15 miles away, Hayward about 16 miles off and Oakland roughly 17 miles from Concord, draw on the same material for the same reason.
Figuring Out How Much #57 Crushed Stone You Need
Because this stone is sold by the ton, sizing an order starts with volume and ends with weight. Multiply the length in feet by the width in feet by the depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. A 24 by 40 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep works out to close to 11.9 cubic yards. This stone weighs roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so that driveway comes to about 16 tons once you convert. Run your own dimensions through the #57 crushed stone calculator before ordering, since lot size, depth and compaction all move the final number.
Where #57 Crushed Stone Works Best Around Concord
This stone earns its place as a driveway base under asphalt or pavers, where the sharp edges bind under compaction instead of rolling loose. Common jobs include:
- Base layer under a driveway, asphalt overlay or paver patio
- French drains and perimeter drainage around older foundations
- Backfill behind retaining walls and inside utility trenches
- Base under concrete slabs, storage sheds and play structures
- Erosion control on sloped side yards and drainage swales
Because it drains fast and will not break down into mud under repeated loading, it holds up on the older, clay-heavy lots that make up a lot of Concord's housing stock. Small residential drainage fixes and larger driveway rebuilds both pull from the same stockpile for the same structural reason.
Tiered Pricing for Bulk Tonnage
Pricing steps down as the order size grows, and the delivery charge steps down right along with it until it disappears at the top tier. Your exact delivered rate for a Concord address is calculated the moment you enter your ZIP.
| Order size | Price per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons or more | $194 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons or more | $107 | Same or next day |

Delivery Windows and Lead Times in Concord
Smaller orders of 3 tons or more typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 tons or more and that window tightens to same or next day. Concord crushed stone orders at 15 tons or more qualify for free delivery. Concord's older neighborhoods often have narrower driveway aprons than the newer subdivisions on the edges of town, so it helps to flag exactly where the load should drop before the truck shows up. Full scheduling detail and load limits are covered on the page for delivery in Concord.
Placing Your Concord Order
Ordering is straightforward: enter your address, pick the tonnage tier that fits the job, and choose a delivery window. Contractors working driveway bases, drainage runs or retaining walls anywhere from Concord out to Richmond or Antioch usually order in the 8 to 15 ton range to reach the stronger per ton rate. Have your access point ready, whether that is a driveway apron, curb cut or side gate, so the delivery lands correctly on the first pass. A single drainage trench or shed pad usually sits at the low end of that range, while a full driveway tear-out and rebuild tends to land at the high end or above it.

About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is an angular gray aggregate processed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. Unlike naturally rounded gravel, its sharp faces bind together under compaction, which is why it is the standard pick for driveway bases, French drains, retaining wall backfill and any structural layer that has to hold its shape under weight. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, and this material is sold and billed by the ton rather than the yard.
It drains quickly, resists frost heave better than finer material, and will not grind down into mud the way softer, rounder stone can over years of use. Contractors across the East Bay rely on it under concrete slabs, sidewalks, sheds and utility trenches, and for erosion control on sloped yards and drainage swales. Homeowners reach for the same material on smaller jobs, from leveling a low, soggy patch of yard to building a stable base under a storage shed.
Because the stone is angular rather than rounded, it performs best when compacted in layers instead of simply dumped and left in place, which keeps the base from settling unevenly once weight is added. It holds its structure through repeated wet and dry cycles, which matters most on the older, clay-heavy ground common across parts of the East Bay.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Concord
In and around Concord, #57 crushed stone shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is driveway gravel, often in tight urban lots and infill builds in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is drainage gravel, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 124,016 people, the Concord order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Concord
A typical Concord drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. 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?
It is an angular, three quarter to one inch gray stone most often used as a driveway base, French drain fill, and backfill behind retaining walls or inside utility trenches. The sharp faces lock together once compacted, so the layer stays in place under vehicle weight rather than migrating the way rounded gravel does. It also shows up under concrete slabs, sheds and play structures wherever a stable, well draining base layer matters.
How is #57 crushed stone priced for delivery in Concord?
It is sold and priced by the ton, not the cubic yard, and the rate drops as the order size grows. Smaller orders carry a delivery fee that steps down at each tier and disappears once you order 15 tons or more. Your exact delivered rate for a Concord address is worked out from your ZIP code at checkout, so the number you see reflects your specific location.
How much #57 crushed stone do I need for a driveway?
Measure the length and width in feet and the depth you want in inches, multiply the three together, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. This stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so multiply that yardage by 1.35 to reach tons. A typical 24 by 40 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep lands around 16 tons. Confirm your own numbers with the calculator before ordering.
Is #57 crushed stone the same as pea gravel?
No. #57 stone is larger, roughly three quarters to one inch, with sharp angular faces that interlock under compaction. Pea gravel is a surface and walking material.
Does #57 crushed stone need to be compacted after delivery?
Yes, for any load bearing use such as a driveway or slab base. Spread it in layers a few inches thick and compact each one with a plate compactor before adding the next. Skipping that step leaves voids that let the stone shift or settle unevenly once weight lands on it. For a drainage-only trench, light compaction or letting the stone settle naturally is usually enough.
How fast can I get #57 crushed stone delivered around Concord?
Orders of 3 tons or more generally arrive within 1 to 2 business days. Move up to 8 tons or more and that shortens to same or next day in most cases. At 15 tons or more, delivery is free and still fits inside that same or next day window. Exact timing depends on your address and the day you place the order.
Can #57 crushed stone be used under pavers?
Yes, it is one of the more common base materials under paver patios, walkways and driveways. A compacted layer gives the drainage and stable footing pavers need to resist shifting and settling over time. Most installers top it with a thin leveling layer of sand or fines before setting the pavers, since the crushed stone base is not meant to be the finished walking surface itself.
What should I check before a delivery truck arrives at my Concord address?
Confirm the truck has a clear path to the drop point, including driveway width, gate clearance and any low branches or wires along the route. Mark exactly where you want the load placed, since older Concord lots with narrower aprons leave less room to reposition once the stone is on the ground. Larger orders sometimes split better across two smaller drops than one on a tight lot.
