#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Oxnard, CA
Oxnard sits on the flat Ventura County coastal plain, where irrigated fields and newer subdivisions meet within a few miles of the beach. #57 crushed stone delivery in Oxnard, CA covers both settings: a landscaper leveling a driveway pad off a residential cul de sac, and a grower firming up a farm access road on the edge of town. Oxnard-area supply includes angular gray material, uniformly crushed and screened to three quarter to one inch, offered by the ton and not cubic yard. Oxnard anchors the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura metro area, and with about 200,000 residents it is the largest city on this stretch of the coast.
Several smaller cities sit within easy reach for delivery routing. Simi Valley is about 25 miles inland, Ventura is about 13 miles up the coast, and Thousand Oaks is a similar 18 miles to the southeast, so one truck can often cover more than one job site along this corridor in a day. The coastal plain here carries heavy clay and silt loam built up from decades of irrigated farming, and it drains slowly once it gets compacted by traffic or soaked by a wet winter. An angular stone that locks together under a roller fixes that in a way loose fill or rounded gravel cannot, since it resists squeezing into mud and holds its grade season after season.

Where #57 Crushed Stone Gets Used Around Oxnard
On the flat lots common here, this stone earns its place under driveways, patios and storage pads, giving concrete or pavers a compacted base that will not settle into the clay beneath. Common uses around Oxnard include:
- Driveway and parking pad base under asphalt or pavers
- Farm and equipment access roads on irrigated ground
- French drains and perimeter drainage on slow draining clay lots
- Base rock under sheds, RV pads and storage buildings
- Fill for low spots that pond water after winter rain
Because the stone sheds water instead of holding it, growers and landscapers both reach for it wherever standing water is the problem, from a farm gate that turns soft every winter to a yard corner that never quite dries out between storms.
Figuring Out How Much Stone to Order
Since this stone sells by the ton, work out the volume first and then convert. For Oxnard projects, use length times width in feet times depth in inches, then divide by 324 to determine cubic yards. A two car driveway base 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 4 inches deep comes out to just under 6 cubic yards. Each cubic yard of this stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, so that driveway comes out to roughly 8 tons once the number is rounded up for compaction and an uneven subgrade. Run the exact dimensions of an Oxnard job through the #57 crushed stone calculator before placing an order, since a sloped or oddly shaped lot changes the total quickly.
Delivery and Lead Times in Oxnard
Order 3 tons and the load typically lands within 1 to 2 business days. Move up to 8 tons and that window tightens to same or next day. Cross 15 tons and the delivery charge drops away entirely. Oxnard job sites range from tight residential driveways to open farm frontage, so it helps to note gate width and surface type when placing the order, since a loaded truck needs firm, level ground to tip a load safely. Full scheduling detail and any access notes for a specific address are covered on the page for delivery in Oxnard.
Pricing Notes for Bulk Orders
The price per ton steps down three times as the order size grows, and the smallest orders carry the highest rate to cover a partial truckload.

|---|---|---|
| 3 tons or more | $257 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons or more | $168 | Same or next day |

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone for an Oxnard Job
Getting stone to an Oxnard address starts with entering the drop off location, choosing a tonnage tier and picking a delivery window that fits the job. A single driveway base or drainage fix usually lands in the 3 to 8 ton range. A larger farm road repair or a full lot regrade often reaches 15 tons or more to catch the lowest per ton rate. Mark the drop spot and clear a path before the truck arrives, since a loaded delivery vehicle needs solid, level ground to unload safely on soft coastal soil.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#Our Oxnard #57 crushed stone is an angular gray aggregate, crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. Its sharp, fractured faces are what set it apart from rounded pea gravel or river rock: when compacted, those faces bite into each other and lock the layer in place instead of shifting underfoot or under a tire. That interlock is why it shows up so often as a base layer under driveways, patios, sheds and retaining structures, anywhere a surface needs to stay level and load bearing for years.
One cubic yard of this stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds, and it is sold and priced strictly by the ton rather than by the cubic yard, so every order is measured and billed by weight. The open space between the angular pieces also makes it a strong drainage material: water passes through readily instead of pooling, which is why it turns up inside French drains, behind retaining walls and under structures set on damp or low lying ground. It arrives as clean, uniform gray stone with no fines or dust mixed in, ready to spread, rake and compact straight from the truck.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Oxnard
Oxnard 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. Oxnard sits at about 200,616 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.

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 used as a compacted base under driveways, patios and storage pads, and as fill inside French drains and perimeter drains. Its sharp faces interlock under a roller, so it holds a grade under vehicle weight far better than rounded gravel. Farms and landscapers around Oxnard also use it to firm up soft access routes.
Does #57 crushed stone work on Oxnard's clay soil?
Yes. Much of the ground around Oxnard is heavy clay and silt loam that drains slowly and turns soft when it is wet. An angular stone base breaks that cycle because water moves through the open spaces between the pieces instead of pooling on top. Compacted correctly, it stays firm through the rainy season in a way loose fill cannot.
How much #57 crushed stone do I need for a driveway?
Multiply the driveway length in feet by its width in feet by the depth in inches, then divide by 324 for cubic yards, and multiply by 1.35 for tons. A 40 by 12 foot driveway at 4 inches deep works out to roughly 8 tons. Use the calculator on this page to check the exact figure for your dimensions before ordering.
Is #57 crushed stone priced by the ton or the cubic yard?
It is priced and sold strictly by the ton, never by the cubic yard. Every tier on this page, from the smallest 3 ton order up to the 15 ton free delivery threshold, is quoted as a rate per ton. If you are used to buying mulch or soil by the yard, convert your volume estimate to tons before you order.
How fast can #57 crushed stone reach an Oxnard address?
A 3 ton order generally arrives within 1 to 2 business days. Ordering 8 tons or more usually shortens that to same or next day, since a fuller truckload is easier to schedule. Exact windows depend on the delivery slot chosen at checkout and on access conditions at the drop site.
Is there a minimum order size for #57 crushed stone?
The smallest published tier starts at 2 tons, which covers most small driveway patches, drainage trenches and shed pads. Smaller jobs still fall under that tier and pay the corresponding rate and delivery fee. Larger contractor jobs typically order 8 tons or more to bring the per ton price down.
Can #57 crushed stone be used for drainage around a house?
Yes, it is a common choice for French drains and foundation perimeter drains because its angular shape leaves open space for water to move through even after compaction. On Oxnard's slow draining clay lots it is often paired with a perforated pipe to carry water away from a foundation or low corner of the yard.
What size is #57 crushed stone?
It runs from about three quarters of an inch up to one inch, an angular gray aggregate rather than a rounded pea gravel or river rock. That size range gives it enough weight to stay put once compacted, while still being small enough to shovel and rake by hand for smaller residential jobs.
