Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone Around Antioch
#57 crushed stone delivery in Antioch, CA gives East Bay contractors and homeowners an angular, three quarter to one inch gray stone that locks into place instead of rolling around, which matters on the clay-heavy ground common on this side of the Delta. It works as a driveway base under asphalt or pavers, as backfill behind retaining walls, and as fill for a French drain anywhere water needs to move instead of pool. Typical uses include:
- Driveway and parking pad base under asphalt, pavers or a gravel topping
- French drains and yard drainage on heavy clay soil
- Backfill for retaining walls, block walls and utility trenches
- Base under sheds, decks and poured concrete slabs
- Erosion control along graded slopes and drainage swales near the water
Antioch's older neighborhoods and its newer subdivisions both sit on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks hard in the dry season, so a compacted layer of angular stone under a slab or drainage run keeps that movement from cracking whatever sits on top of it. Waterfront lots near the Delta channel add another reason to reach for this stone, since a graded bank held together with angular fill sheds runoff far better than bare clay left to erode on its own.
#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Antioch, CA
Antioch sits at the eastern edge of the Bay Area, inside the wider San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metro, with a population of about 120,000 spread across bigger suburban lots than you find closer to the bay. Concord is roughly 9 miles away, Richmond is about 31 miles off, and Hayward, Berkeley and Tracy each sit in the 21 to 24 mile range, so the same delta clay and the same inland heat show up across a good stretch of eastern Contra Costa County.

How Much #57 Crushed Stone an Antioch Project Takes
This stone is sold by the ton, so start with the square footage and depth of the area, then convert. Multiply length in feet by width in feet by depth in inches and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. An 18 by 30 foot pad or drainage swale at 4 inches deep comes out to about 6.7 cubic yards. At roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, that pad works out to close to 9 tons. Run your own numbers through the #57 crushed stone calculator before ordering, since lot grading changes the total.
Delivery and Lead Times in Antioch
Orders of 3 tons or more typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. At 8 tons or more, most deliveries move to same day or next day service. Once an order reaches 15 tons, the delivery fee drops away. The bigger suburban lots common in Antioch usually give a truck more room to maneuver than tighter streets closer to the bay, but it still helps to flag driveway slope or gate access before the scheduled window. Full scheduling detail for this address is on the delivery in Antioch page.

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone in Antioch
Ordering takes a ZIP code, a tonnage tier and a delivery window that works for the job. Contractors and homeowners handling driveway pads, drainage swales or retaining wall backfill anywhere in Antioch or eastern Contra Costa County typically order 8 to 15 tons to reach the better per ton rate. Mark the drop point clearly, whether it is a driveway apron, side gate or graded pad, so the truck can unload in a single pass. A small drainage fix or patio base usually sits at the low end of that range, while a full driveway rebuild tends to land at the high end or beyond it. Confirm the delivery address is inside the service area for this ZIP before scheduling, since the exact rate and lead time shown at checkout are calculated for that specific location.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is an angular, gray aggregate crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. Because every piece has sharp, broken faces rather than a rounded shape, it locks together once compacted and resists shifting under weight, which is why it is a standard choice for driveway bases, French drains, retaining wall backfill and any layer that has to carry load without moving. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, and the material is sold by the ton, so delivery orders are measured and billed by weight rather than by yardage.
Its open structure lets water drain through quickly instead of collecting on the surface, and it holds its shape rather than breaking down into mud the way softer fill can after a heavy rain. Contractors use it under slabs, sidewalks, sheds, decks and utility trenches, and along graded slopes or drainage swales where erosion is a concern. Homeowners use the same material for smaller jobs, such as leveling a low spot, building a small pad, or improving drainage next to a foundation.
Because the stone is angular, it should be spread and compacted in layers rather than dumped in one thick lift, which keeps the base stable once weight sits on top of it. Placed and compacted that way, it holds up through a wet winter and a long dry season without losing its shape.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Antioch
Crews working out of Antioch tend to call for #57 crushed stone on a few repeat jobs each week. The first is driveway gravel, typically laid in tight urban lots and infill builds with a base lift compacted before the finish course goes on. The second is drainage gravel, which lands here in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and usually ships as a 4 to 8 ton order. With a population around 118,453, Antioch pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.
Delivery day in Antioch
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Antioch stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. 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 typically used for?
It is most often used as a driveway base, a fill material for French drains, and backfill around retaining walls or utility trenches. The angular shape of each piece locks against its neighbors once compacted, so the layer stays in place under vehicle weight instead of shifting. It also works well as a sub base under sheds, decks and poured concrete pads.
How is #57 crushed stone different from plain gravel?
#57 crushed stone is quarried rock that gets mechanically crushed and screened down to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, leaving sharp edges on every piece. Gravel usually refers to naturally rounded stone shaped by water over a long time. The angular faces on #57 stone are what let it interlock and stay put under a driveway or drainage bed, while rounded gravel tends to roll and shift.
How do I work out the amount of #57 crushed stone my project needs?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and pick a depth in inches. Multiply those three figures together and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. This stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so multiply the yardage by 2,700 and divide by 2,000 to convert to tons. Add a bit extra for compaction and uneven ground, then check the total with the calculator before ordering.
Does #57 crushed stone have to be compacted?
Yes, for anything that will carry weight, such as a driveway or slab base. Lay it down in layers a few inches thick and compact each one before adding the next. Without that step, gaps remain in the material and let it settle unevenly once weight is added. A drainage swale or trench that will not carry load can usually get by with light compaction or none at all.
How does #57 crushed stone hold up on Antioch's clay soil?
It holds up well because the angular, open structure keeps water moving through it instead of trapping it against the clay underneath, which is the soil found across much of this part of the Delta. Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks in the dry season, and a compacted layer of this stone under a slab or drainage run absorbs that movement instead of passing it straight up to whatever sits on top.
What should I have ready before a delivery truck arrives in Antioch?
Clear a path from the street to the drop point, including driveway width, gate access and any low branches or wires along the route. Decide exactly where the pile should go before the truck shows up, since a full load is difficult to move once it is on the ground. On a very large order, splitting the delivery into two smaller drops sometimes works better than one oversized load.
Should I use #57 stone or pea gravel for a driveway base?
#57 stone is the better choice for a load bearing base. It runs larger, about three quarters to one inch, and its angular faces lock together once compacted so the layer resists rutting under tire weight. Pea gravel is smaller and rounded, which lets it shift and roll instead of holding position, so it suits a decorative path or play area better than a driveway base.
Can #57 crushed stone go under a paver patio?
Yes, it is a common base layer for paver patios, walkways and small paver driveways. Once compacted, it drains well and resists the settling and frost movement that can push pavers out of level over time. Most installers add a thin leveling layer of sand or fine material on top of the compacted stone right before setting the pavers.
