How Much #57 Crushed Stone to Order in Ontario
Sizing an order starts with the footprint you are covering. Multiply the length in feet by the width in feet by the depth in inches, then divide that total by 324 to get the cubic yards involved, and convert that number to tons using the stone's weight per cubic yard. A twenty five foot by twelve foot driveway section at a four inch depth comes out to roughly 3.7 cubic yards, which at about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard lands close to 5 tons once it is delivered.
The #57 crushed stone calculator runs that same math automatically, turning your dimensions into a tonnage figure along with a delivered price for your Ontario address.
#57 Crushed Stone Delivery to Ontario, California
Ontario is part of the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro area and home to about 185,000 residents. #57 crushed stone delivery in Ontario prices out by the ton and quotes against your specific address, which keeps the number accurate whether the job site sits close to the yard or further out across the metro.
The stone itself is gray and angular, screened to a size range of about three quarters of an inch up to a full inch, and it is built to interlock and hold its shape once it is spread and compacted rather than shift the way rounded stone does.
Ton Pricing for Ontario Deliveries
Every #57 crushed stone order in Ontario is priced and sold by the ton, and the rate drops in steps as the tonnage increases.
| Order Size | Price per Ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons and up | $223 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons and up | $135 | Same or next business day |
| 15 tons and up | $109 | Free delivery |
Delivery is free once an order reaches fifteen tons. Ton pricing also covers pea gravel, river rock and topsoil in Ontario. Only mulch skips the ton and gets sold by the cubic yard. For rates and coverage across the rest of the state, see #57 Crushed Stone in California.
Lead Times and Delivery Windows
Orders of three tons or more generally leave within one to two business days. Once an order reaches eight tons, delivery usually shifts to the same day or the next business day instead. Truck scheduling still drives the exact window, so confirm timing once the order is in.
Site specific delivery detail, including truck access and unloading space around Ontario, is covered on the delivery in Ontario page. It is worth checking before the truck rolls out, since a load this heavy needs a clear, level spot to tip without damaging a driveway or curb.
Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone Around Ontario
The angular shape and clean gradation give this stone more than one job on a typical property.
- Base layer and topping for driveways
- French drains and perimeter drainage around foundations
- Backfill for retaining walls and septic drain fields
- Compacted sub base under patios, sheds and light structures
- Erosion control on graded slopes
Because the gradation carries very little fine material, water moves through a compacted bed instead of collecting on top of it, which is the main reason it is the default pick for drainage work. A crew grading a lot for new construction will often run a layer of it under the slab for the same reason, since a saturated sub base is what causes settling later on.
How to Place an Ontario Order
Enter your Ontario address or ZIP to see a delivered rate, select the tonnage the project calls for, and schedule a drop off time that works for the site. Curbside or driveway delivery is standard, so clear the space and check overhead clearance before the truck arrives.
Contractors ordering repeatedly across Ontario can scale up tonnage over time, since the per ton rate keeps improving the larger a single order gets. Keep a rough tonnage figure on hand before you call so the crew can confirm a delivery window without going back and forth on the numbers first.
It also helps to walk the drop off area ahead of time and note anything that could narrow a truck's turning radius, such as parked cars, low branches or a gate the driver would need to navigate around.
About #57 Crushed Stone
Gray in color and screened to a size band of roughly three quarters of an inch to a full inch, #57 crushed stone is quarried rock that has been crushed and graded rather than naturally rounded, so every piece has angular, broken faces. Those angular faces are the reason the stone locks together once it is spread and compacted: unlike pea gravel or river rock, it resists shifting under vehicle weight or foot traffic.
The gradation carries very little fine material, so the finished bed stays open and lets water pass through instead of holding it, which is why contractors reach for it in French drains, perimeter drainage and septic system backfill. It also works well as a compacted base layer beneath driveways, patios and structures where a stable, well draining foundation matters more than a decorative finish.
One cubic yard of the stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, a figure worth keeping in mind when translating a footprint into a delivered tonnage. Because it ships by the ton rather than a fixed bag count, the material scales cleanly from a small backyard drain to a full driveway rebuild.
What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Ontario
Local Ontario yards quote #57 crushed stone by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul. 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. A ton of this material spreads across about 80 sq ft when laid 3 inches deep, useful when you are sizing a patio base or a walkway run.
How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Ontario
In and around Ontario, #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 185,285 people, the Ontario order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Ontario
A typical Ontario 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.

How much does #57 crushed stone delivery cost in Ontario?
The rate is set per ton and drops in steps as the order size increases, bottoming out for loads of fifteen tons or more. Enter your Ontario address or ZIP code and the delivered price for that exact order comes back right away. Two Ontario addresses ordering the same tonnage can still see different totals since the quote accounts for the actual delivery distance.
What projects call for #57 crushed stone?
It is a common pick for driveway base and topping, French drains, perimeter drainage around a foundation, and backfill behind retaining walls or around septic systems. Because the gradation carries little fine material, water drains through it instead of collecting on the surface. It also compacts into a stable base beneath patios, sheds and other light structures.
Why choose #57 crushed stone over pea gravel?
Pea gravel is rounded and tends to migrate underfoot, spreading out of the area it was placed in over time. #57 crushed stone offers.
How do I calculate how much #57 crushed stone I need?
Measure the length and width of the space in feet and pick a depth in inches for the layer. Multiply those three numbers together and divide by 324 to get cubic yards, then convert that figure to tons using the stone's weight per cubic yard. The calculator on this site handles the conversion automatically once you enter your dimensions.
What are typical delivery times for Ontario orders?
Orders of three tons or more generally ship within one to two business days. Once you order eight tons or beyond, delivery usually moves up to the same day or the next business day. Actual timing depends on truck scheduling, so it is worth confirming your preferred window when the order goes in.
Does #57 crushed stone pricing change across the Ontario area?
Yes, the delivered price is tied to your specific address rather than a flat citywide number, since it reflects the distance the truck has to travel from the yard. Entering your exact Ontario ZIP code at checkout returns the rate for that location rather than an estimate. Larger orders still see the price per ton drop regardless of where in the city the job sits.
Is there a minimum tonnage for delivery?
The smallest tier for #57 crushed stone starts at two tons. Smaller amounts than that usually are not cost effective to deliver in bulk, so a local yard offering bagged stone is a better fit for very small jobs. Most driveway, patio base and drainage projects use well more than the two-ton minimum.
Is unloading included with #57 crushed stone delivery?
The truck drops the material at a location it can safely access, usually curbside or at the mouth of a driveway. Spreading, grading and moving the stone beyond that point is not part of standard delivery. Factor that labor into your project plan, either with your own equipment or a hired crew.
