Roseville's newer subdivisions sit on Sacramento Valley clay that bakes hard by August and turns slick after winter rain, and #57 crushed stone delivery is one of the more direct fixes contractors reach for when that clay will not hold a driveway base or a drainage line on its own. This angular gray stone is billed and shipped by the ton, with the rate easing downward as the order size climbs. The rest of this page covers where the material gets put to work around Roseville, how many tons a typical project takes, what the pricing tiers look like, and how fast a load can get delivered.
#57 Crushed Stone Uses Around Roseville
most for driveway bases in the city's newer subdivisions, where builders often leave only a thin layer of topsoil over compacted valley clay that will not drain or hold weight on its own. It also goes down as backfill around foundation footings and behind retaining walls on the gently sloped lots common in Placer County developments. French drains and yard drainage runs use it too, since Roseville's clay soil sheds water slowly and standing water after a storm is a routine complaint in newer neighborhoods. Its angular shape also makes it a durable choice for exposed gravel parking pads and equipment areas that see regular vehicle traffic.
Pricing Notes for Roseville
Roseville pricing runs on the same three ton based tiers used across the state. Order 3 tons or more and the rate is $194 a ton, delivered in 1 to 2 business days. Order 8 tons or more and the rate drops to $107 a ton, usually moving same day or the next business day. Cross the 15 ton threshold, the tier that covers most Roseville jobs, and the rate settles at $82 a ton. The delivery fee is waived automatically at that volume. Entering a ZIP code at checkout finishes the delivered price, since hauling distance is part of the total.
Roseville's Terrain and Growth
Roseville sits in Placer County within the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom metro area, and the city has grown fast from a railroad town into one of the larger suburbs ringing Sacramento, itself about 21 miles to the southwest, with a population of roughly 163,000 spread across mostly newer construction. Elk Grove lies roughly 22 miles in the other direction across the same metro area. Summers run hot and dry across the Central Valley floor, baking the clay soil common to Roseville lots into a surface hard enough to resist a shovel. Winter rain then turns that same clay soft and slippery until it dries out again.
Sizing Your Roseville Project in Tons
Multiply the area's length and width in feet, factor in the planned depth in inches, and divide by 324 to arrive at cubic yards before converting to the tons this material actually ships in, using its weight of roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard. A backfill run around 2 feet wide and 40 feet long at 12 inches deep works out to close to 8 tons. The #57 crushed stone calculator runs that conversion automatically once your measurements are entered.
Placing a Roseville Order
Ordering #57 crushed stone delivery for a Roseville address takes a ZIP code, a ton count, and a delivery date. Because the per ton rate eases at both the 8 ton and 15 ton marks, rounding a borderline order up to the next tier often costs less overall. The #57 Crushed Stone in California hub covers pricing for cities across the rest of the state. Most Roseville projects, from subdivision driveway bases to backfill jobs, fall somewhere between 8 and 15 tons.
Delivery Windows Across Roseville
Scheduling in Roseville tracks order size the same way pricing does. A 3 to 7 ton order usually books a 1 to 2 business day window. Push the order to 8 tons or beyond and it commonly ships that same day or the next one. At 15 tons and up, the truck gets loaded on the quickest available slot and the delivery fee drops away entirely.

About #57 Crushed Stone
What sets #57 crushed stone apart from pea gravel or river rock is its shape: instead of smooth, water-rounded pieces, it is crushed rock screened down to a uniform three quarter to one inch size with sharp, angular faces on every piece. Those angular faces catch and lock against each other once a compactor runs over them, building a base that resists rutting and shifting in a way rounded stone cannot match. Weight is the other defining trait: a cubic yard runs close to 2,700 pounds, dense enough that it is bought and delivered by the ton rather than measured out in cubic yards.
That same locking structure leaves open gaps between individual pieces, so water drains straight through the material instead of pooling on top of it, which explains why it shows up so often as fill behind retaining walls, inside footing trenches, and under driveways that need to shed rain quickly. Grading is standardized across the industry, meaning a delivered load performs to the same specification no matter which supplier fills a particular order, and the color runs a consistent gray from batch to batch.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Roseville
Around Roseville, #57 crushed stone is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard. Send your ZIP and load size and we will send back a same-hour quote with the truck rate and the per-ton figure spelled out. Plan on roughly 80 sq ft of coverage per ton at 3 inches deep, which puts a single-car driveway in the 4 to 8 ton bracket.
How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Roseville
Roseville 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. Roseville sits at about 163,304 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Roseville
Delivery in Roseville 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 and color is #57 crushed stone?
#57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate screened to a consistent size of about three quarters to one inch. Its broken faces set it apart from smooth, rounded stone like pea gravel, since those sharp edges catch against each other under a compactor and lock into a stable base rather than shifting. It is one of the more common bulk stone sizes ordered for driveway bases and drainage work in Placer County.
Is #57 crushed stone sold by the ton or the cubic yard in Roseville?
Roseville-area purchases are priced by the ton. A cubic yard of this stone weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, well beyond what lighter landscaping materials weigh, so every Roseville quote is built from a ton count rather than a yard count. That ton figure comes from the square footage and depth of the project, worked out either by hand or through the calculator on this page.
How many tons does a typical Roseville driveway base need?
It depends on the size of the drive and how deep the base runs, but a base around 12 feet wide and 40 feet long at 4 inches deep lands close to 8 tons. A longer or wider driveway needs more, and a thicker base for heavier vehicles needs more still. Running your own measurements through the calculator on this page gives an exact ton figure before ordering.
Does #57 crushed stone help with drainage on Roseville's clay soil?
Yes. Its angular shape leaves open gaps between pieces that let water pass through instead of pooling, which matters on Roseville's clay heavy lots where standing water is a common complaint after storms. It handles that job better than rounded gravel or sand, both of which pack tighter and slow the water down instead of letting it through.
How fast can #57 crushed stone reach a Roseville address?
Delivery speed depends on how many tons are ordered. A load of 3 to 7 tons generally books a 1 to 2 business day window, and stepping up to 8 tons or more usually moves the truck out same day or the next one. Past the 15 ton mark, scheduling gets the top priority and the per ton rate is at its lowest as well.
Why does the per ton rate drop on larger Roseville orders?
Bulk orders cost less to deliver per ton, which is why the rate steps down at 8 tons and again at 15 tons, where delivery becomes free as well. A Roseville order sitting just under one of those marks is usually cheaper once rounded up, since the lower rate applies across the whole order rather than only the extra tons added.
What other projects use #57 crushed stone in Roseville?
Beyond driveway bases, it is a regular choice for foundation and retaining wall backfill, French drain and trench fill on drainage-prone lots, and exposed gravel surfacing for parking pads and equipment areas. Its interlocking angular shape gives it enough stability for light foot and vehicle traffic once compacted, and it drains better than sand or native clay in the same use.
