#57 crushed stone delivery in Inglewood ships by the ton to a dense, flat city built almost entirely on a tight residential and commercial grid. This gray, angular aggregate runs about three quarters to one inch across and prices on tiered bulk rates, so a larger order brings the per ton cost down rather than staying flat. This page walks through where the stone gets used on Inglewood's smaller urban lots, how many tons a typical job takes, what each tier costs, and how delivery scheduling works here.
Inglewood's Dense, Flat Grid
Inglewood sits within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro and is home to roughly 103,000 residents on a compact, level footprint near Los Angeles International Airport. The city is largely built out, with older single-family blocks and smaller commercial lots packed close together, and recent large-scale development around the stadium district has brought fresh construction activity to parts of town. Flat grading and tighter lot sizes mean most projects here are smaller in scale than a suburban job, but the base-building and drainage needs are the same, just scaled to a smaller footprint. Because the city sits close to sea level with little natural slope, water tends to sit on hard surfaces rather than run off on its own, which is part of why a well draining base layer matters even on a modest residential lot.
Where #57 Crushed Stone Gets Used in Inglewood
On Inglewood's compact lots, #57 crushed stone is most often used as the compacted base under a driveway, gravel parking pad or paver walkway, since the flat ground here still needs a firm layer to keep pavers or asphalt from shifting over time. It backfills foundation footings and short retaining walls on the smaller lots where drainage space is limited, letting water move away from a structure instead of collecting against it. Property owners converting a narrow side yard or rear parking area to gravel also use it, since it compacts firm enough to handle regular vehicle traffic without rutting. Landlords upgrading shared parking areas behind older apartment buildings often choose it for the same reason, since it holds up under repeated vehicle turnover better than bare dirt or a thin gravel topping alone.
What Inglewood Orders Cost
| Order size | Rate per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 tons | $324 | 1 to 2 business days, delivery fee applies |
| 8 to 14 tons | $231 | Same or next day, delivery fee applies |
| 15 tons or more | $200 | Free delivery |
Every tier below 15 tons carries its own flat delivery charge alongside the per ton rate, and that charge goes away entirely once an order hits the 15 ton mark. The final delivered price is calculated from the ZIP code entered at checkout, since travel distance from the nearest yard factors into the total.
How Much #57 Crushed Stone an Inglewood Job Needs
To convert a project into tons, multiply the area's length and width in feet, multiply that by the depth in inches, then divide by 324 for a cubic yard count, and multiply by the stone's weight per yard to arrive at tons. #57 crushed stone runs close to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so a compact 12 by 24 foot driveway apron at 3 inches deep works out to a little under 3 tons. The #57 crushed stone calculator handles this conversion directly from your own square footage and depth.
Delivery and Lead Times in Inglewood
Smaller orders of 3 to 7 tons typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Orders of 8 to 14 tons usually move same day or the next business day, and full loads of 15 tons or more receive the fastest scheduling along with free delivery. Delivery in Inglewood has current scheduling and service details for addresses across the city.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Inglewood
Placing an order takes a ZIP code, a ton count and a preferred delivery date. Given Inglewood's smaller average lot sizes, many residential jobs land in the 3 to 8 ton range rather than the larger volumes typical of suburban driveways. The #57 Crushed Stone in California hub covers pricing and availability for every other California city currently served.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate made by crushing quarried rock and screening it to a consistent three quarter to one inch particle size. The broken, jagged shape of each piece is what separates it from naturally rounded material like pea gravel or river rock: under a compactor, those broken faces catch against each other and lock into a firm, stable layer instead of rolling or sliding apart. A cubic yard of this stone weighs approximately 2,700 pounds, considerably heavier than yard-priced materials like mulch or topsoil, which is the reason it ships and prices by the ton.
Because the angular pieces do not pack down tight the way sand or fine gravel do, water moves through the material rather than sitting on top of it, a trait that matters as much on a small urban lot as a large one. That combination of compaction strength and drainage is why it turns up under driveways and walkways, inside footing trenches and short retaining wall backfill, and as the base for gravel parking areas where space is limited but load capacity still matters. The grading standard for this size stays consistent regardless of which supplier fills a given order, so its performance does not change from one delivery to the next.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Inglewood
In and around Inglewood, #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 102,774 people, the Inglewood order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Inglewood
A typical Inglewood 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 the size and color of #57 crushed stone?
It is a gray, angular crushed stone screened to a fairly tight three quarter to one inch range. The crushing process leaves each piece with sharp, broken faces rather than the smooth, rounded surface of naturally worn stone, and those broken faces are what let the material lock together once compacted. It is a standard bulk size used for base work and drainage in Inglewood.
Does #57 crushed stone sell by the ton or the cubic yard in Inglewood?
By the ton. One cubic yard of this stone weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, well past what most people would want to move or price by volume, so pricing and delivery are both built around a ton count. Every order placed for an Inglewood address, regardless of size, is quoted and billed by the ton.
How many tons does a small Inglewood driveway apron need?
A compact 12 by 24 foot apron at 3 inches deep comes out to a little under 3 tons. Larger driveways or a deeper base layer will need more, and narrower walkways need less. Running your own measurements through the calculator on this page gives an exact ton figure to order against before scheduling delivery.
Can #57 crushed stone be used for drainage on a tight urban lot?
Yes. The gaps between its angular pieces let water pass through rather than pool, which makes it useful in footing trenches and short retaining wall backfill even on Inglewood's smaller, closely built lots. It handles that job better than plain soil or fine sand, which tend to compact tight and hold water instead of moving it away from a foundation.
How fast can I get #57 crushed stone delivered to Inglewood?
Timing depends on the ton count ordered. Orders of 3 to 7 tons generally ship in 1 to 2 business days, orders of 8 to 14 tons often move same day or the next business day, and orders of 15 tons or more get priority scheduling along with free delivery included in that tier.
Why does the per ton price drop on larger Inglewood orders?
Bulk pricing rewards larger single loads, so the rate per ton steps down as the order size increases, and the top tier removes the delivery charge entirely. A small order in the 3 to 7 ton range pays the highest per ton rate along with a flat delivery fee, so it can be worth checking whether the next tier up actually costs less.
What other projects use #57 crushed stone besides driveways?
It also backfills short retaining walls and foundation footings, lines drainage trenches, and serves as the base under gravel parking areas or paver walkways on Inglewood's tighter residential and commercial lots. Its ability to compact firm while still draining makes it useful anywhere a flat, hard surface is needed on a limited footprint.
Is someone required to be home for delivery in Inglewood?
The Inglewood delivery page lists current access and scheduling requirements for the city, and lead times vary with the size of the order. Knowing a rough ton count ahead of time makes booking easier, since the largest loads of 15 tons or more are scheduled first under the fastest turnaround window.
