Thousand Oaks fills the Conejo Valley between two ridgelines of oak studded hills, and a lot of the local building here means grading around canyon lots instead of flat ground. #57 crushed stone delivery in Thousand Oaks, California ships by the ton, with the rate per ton stepping down as the order size increases. This page walks through where the stone gets used locally, how many tons a typical canyon lot project needs, what the delivered rate covers, and how fast a load can reach an address here.
Where #57 Crushed Stone Goes to Work
On the steep and canyon adjacent lots that make up a lot of Thousand Oaks, #57 crushed stone gets used as backfill behind retaining walls more than almost anything else, since the angular stone drains instead of pushing wet pressure against the wall. It also serves as the compacted base under long driveway aprons that climb from the street to a garage set well above grade, a layout common on the hillside streets north and south of the 101 corridor. French drains and footing trenches around foundations use the same material for the same reason: water needs somewhere to go besides against a wall or a slab. Homeowners with oak covered lots also spread it on equipment paths and fire access routes where a hard, well draining surface matters more than a smooth finish.
Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley
Thousand Oaks sits in eastern Ventura County, part of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area, with a population of roughly 124,000 spread across a valley ringed by oak woodland and sandstone ridges. Simi Valley lies about 6 miles east, Oxnard sits roughly 18 miles to the west, and Ventura is about 21 miles northwest along the coast. Los Angeles is close to 39 miles southeast, and Torrance is a bit farther out at around 36 miles. Clay heavy soil on the valley floor gives way to rockier ground on the hillsides, and both conditions benefit from a compacted base layer before anything gets built on top.
Delivery Windows in Thousand Oaks
Delivery timing in Thousand Oaks follows the order's ton tier. A 3 to 7 ton order typically ships within 1 to 2 business days of confirming the order. An 8 to 14 ton order usually arrives same day or the next business day depending on the route. A 15 ton or larger order gets top scheduling priority, and the delivery fee is waived once an order reaches that mark. Delivery in Thousand Oaks has the current service map and scheduling window for this city.
Working Out Your Tonnage
Because #57 crushed stone prices and ships by the ton in Thousand Oaks, the goal is a ton count, not a cubic yard figure. Start with the volume: length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divided by 324, gives the cubic yard total for the area. From there, multiply by 1.35 to convert cubic yards into tons, since a cubic yard of this stone runs about 2,700 pounds. A driveway apron 12 feet wide and 60 feet long at 4 inches deep comes out to close to 12 tons once both steps are done. The #57 crushed stone calculator runs both steps automatically: enter the footprint and depth and it returns the ton figure to order.
Pricing Notes
| Order size | Rate per ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 7 tons | $257 a ton | 1 to 2 business days, delivery fee applies |
| 8 to 14 tons | $168 a ton | Same or next business day, delivery fee applies |
| 15 tons or more | $141 a ton | Fastest scheduling, delivery included |
The rate per ton steps down at each tier, and the ZIP code entered at checkout is what turns this table into an exact delivered total, since hauling distance factors into the final number.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Thousand Oaks

Most residential projects here fall somewhere between 6 and 15 tons, whether the job is a retaining wall, a driveway apron or a drainage trench on a canyon lot.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is quarried rock that has been mechanically crushed and screened down to a consistent particle size of about three quarters to one inch, then sorted into the gray color typical of this grade. The crushing process leaves every piece with sharp, broken edges rather than the smooth, rounded surface that river rock or pea gravel develop naturally, and those edges are what let the stone lock together once it is spread and compacted. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, which puts it well above lighter cubic yard sold materials like mulch or compost, so it is measured, priced and delivered by the ton instead.
Because it packs into a firm, stable layer, it is a standard base material under driveways, patios and parking pads, and because the angular gaps between pieces do not pack tight, water drains through it rather than sitting on top. That combination is why it also turns up in French drains, footing trenches and behind retaining walls. The grading specification is national, so the stone performs the same way whether it is delivered to a hillside canyon lot or a flat valley floor.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Thousand Oaks
In and around Thousand Oaks, #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 124,229 people, the Thousand Oaks order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Thousand Oaks
A typical Thousand Oaks 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 does #57 crushed stone look like?
#57 crushed stone is a gray, angular stone graded to a fairly tight range of about three quarters to one inch. Because a crusher breaks the rock rather than water and time rounding it naturally, every piece has sharp broken faces that wedge against neighboring pieces once a plate compactor runs over it. That interlock is what turns loose stone into a base layer that will not shift under a driveway or a patio.
Is #57 crushed stone billed by the ton or the yard in Thousand Oaks?
It ships and bills by the ton. A cubic yard of this material weighs close to 2,700 pounds, well above lighter yard sold products like mulch, so pricing here is always built around a ton figure rather than a yard figure. Entering your project dimensions into the calculator on this page returns that ton number directly.
How many tons does a canyon lot driveway apron need?
A driveway apron built 12 feet wide by 60 feet long at 4 inches deep runs close to 12 tons. Steeper or longer aprons common on Thousand Oaks hillside streets can push that figure higher, and a shallower base brings it down. The calculator on this page turns your own measurements into an exact ton count before you place an order.
Can #57 crushed stone handle backfill behind a retaining wall?
Yes, and it is one of the more common uses for this stone on Thousand Oaks hillside lots. The angular pieces leave open space between them, so water pressure that builds up behind a wall has somewhere to drain instead of pushing against the footing. That drainage behavior is why it gets specified over sand or finer gravel in this application.
How fast does delivery reach Thousand Oaks addresses?
Timing depends on how many tons are ordered. A 3 to 7 ton order typically ships in 1 to 2 business days. An 8 to 14 ton order usually arrives same day or the next business day, and a 15 ton or larger order gets top priority scheduling along with a waived delivery fee.
Why does the per ton rate change with order size?
Larger orders cost less to haul per ton, so the rate steps down at each tier as the ton count rises. The lowest rate and a waived delivery fee both apply once an order reaches 15 tons. Orders under that mark pay a higher per ton rate along with a separate delivery charge.
What besides driveways is #57 crushed stone good for around Thousand Oaks?
It shows up often as retaining wall backfill on hillside lots, as base material under long driveway aprons, and inside French drains and footing trenches around foundations. Property owners with oak covered acreage also spread it along fire access paths and equipment routes where a firm, well draining surface matters more than a smooth finish.
Is someone required to be present for delivery in Thousand Oaks?
The delivery page for Thousand Oaks covers current access and scheduling requirements for this city. Lead times are tied to order size, so having a rough ton count ready before booking helps line up a delivery window, particularly for larger orders that qualify for priority scheduling.
