#57 Crushed Stone Delivery for Tracy, CA Properties
Tracy sits in the Central Valley where Interstate 5 meets Interstate 580, a logistics and warehouse hub with flat, open ground that makes truck access easy on most lots. #57 crushed stone delivery in Tracy, CA covers this angular gray stone, crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, and priced and shipped by the ton rather than the cubic yard. Tracy falls within the Stockton metro area, with Stockton itself about 14 miles away and Antioch and Modesto both roughly 25 miles out, so Central Valley delivery routes reach this address without trouble.
Clay heavy soil is common across the valley floor here and holds water after rain, so an open graded stone that will not compact into mud is the standard fix under a driveway, a shed pad or a backyard patio. The same angular shape that sheds water also keeps the base from shifting once a slab, paver patio or retaining wall sits on top of it.

Where #57 Crushed Stone Gets Used Around Tracy
Contractors and homeowners across Tracy reach for this stone anywhere a base needs to stay put and drain fast. Common jobs include:
- Base layer under driveways, RV pads and warehouse yard aprons
- Backfill behind retaining walls and around foundation footings
- French drains and drainage swales cut through heavy valley clay
- Compacted base under sheds, patios and paver walkways
- Erosion control on graded slopes and drainage channels
Tracy's recent growth has leaned toward distribution buildings alongside new home construction, so this stone shows up on both large commercial pads and small residential fixes, doing the same job at very different scales.
Working Out How Much #57 Crushed Stone You Need
Since this stone is billed by the ton, the fastest way to order the right amount is to work out cubic yards first and then convert. Take the length of the area in feet, multiply it by the width in feet, multiply that by the depth in inches, and divide the result by 324; that gives you cubic yards. A driveway base 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 4 inches deep works out to about 5.9 cubic yards. Because this stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, that driveway comes to roughly 8 tons before rounding up for compaction. Run your own measurements through the #57 crushed stone calculator to confirm the tonnage before you place an order.

Smaller orders of 3 tons or more typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 tons or more and that window tightens to same day or next day in most cases.

Placing a #57 Crushed Stone Order in Tracy
Give the delivery address, choose a tonnage tier, and pick a delivery window when checking out; the checkout page shows both the per ton price and the total delivery fee before you confirm. Most single trench or backfill jobs in Tracy fall in the 3 to 8 ton range. A full driveway base or a large yard pad project often clears 15 tons and lands on the free delivery tier. Have the drop zone marked and the ground clear of obstacles before the truck arrives, since a load this size is easier to place correctly the first time than to move afterward.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is a crushed, screened aggregate sized between three quarters and one inch, with sharp, angular faces rather than the rounded shape of natural gravel. Those angular edges wedge against each other once the material is spread and tamped, forming a base layer that locks in place and resists shifting under weight. A cubic yard of this stone weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, and pricing and delivery for it run by the ton, not by volume.
Its open, angular structure lets water move through quickly instead of pooling, which is the main reason it shows up so often as backfill behind retaining walls, inside French drains, and under slabs, driveways and sheds. Contractors also spread it as a compacted base beneath pavers and gravel driveways, where a stable, drained layer keeps the surface above it from settling unevenly.
Because the stone is angular, it needs to go down in shallow lifts and get compacted as each layer is added, rather than dumped in a single deep pile. Handled that way, it holds a firm shape through wet weather and heavy use, which is exactly what a driveway base or a retaining wall backfill needs to do for years without regrading.

Around Tracy, #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.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Tracy
Tracy 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. Tracy sits at about 100,136 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Tracy
Delivery in Tracy 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 is #57 crushed stone used for?
#57 crushed stone is an angular gray stone sized about three quarters to one inch, most often used as backfill behind retaining walls, inside French drains, and as a compacted base under driveways, sheds and paver patios. Its sharp edges lock together once compacted, so it holds a stable shape under weight far better than smooth, rounded gravel. It also works well for erosion control on graded slopes.
Is #57 crushed stone a good base for a Tracy driveway?
Yes. Much of the Central Valley soil around Tracy is heavy clay that softens in wet weather, and an open graded stone like this drains instead of turning to mud under a driveway. Spread and compacted in shallow layers, it forms a firm base that resists rutting under vehicle weight and holds its shape through the rainy season.
How do I calculate how much #57 crushed stone I need?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and the depth you want in inches, multiply those three figures together, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Since this stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, multiply that yard figure by 2,700 and divide by 2,000 to convert to tons. Round up slightly and check the number against the calculator before ordering.
Does #57 crushed stone need to be compacted after delivery?
Yes, for any load bearing use such as a driveway base or retaining wall backfill. Spread it in shallow layers of a few inches each and compact every layer before adding the next, rather than dumping the full depth at once. Skipping this step leaves gaps that let the stone shift or settle once weight or water reaches it.
How does #57 crushed stone handle Tracy's hot, dry summers?
Well. The stone itself does not break down or shift with heat, and because it is open graded, any irrigation runoff or an occasional summer storm drains straight through instead of pooling against a foundation or driveway edge. That makes it a reliable base layer year round, not just during the rainy months when drainage matters most.
What should I check before a delivery truck arrives at a Tracy address?
Confirm there is a clear path wide enough for the truck, including driveway width and any low branches or overhead wires along the route. Mark exactly where the load should drop, since repositioning several tons of stone after it is on the ground is far more work than placing it correctly the first time. For a tight yard or dock, ask about a smaller truck.
What is the difference between #57 crushed stone and pea gravel?
#57 stone is larger, roughly three quarters to one inch, with sharp angular faces that interlock once compacted. In the Tracy area, smooth pea gravel works well for aesthetic landscaping and pathways but lacks the angular interlocking required for driveways and foundations. For driveway bases, retaining wall backfill and drainage that has to bear weight without shifting, #57 stone is the sturdier choice.
Can #57 crushed stone be used under a shed or paver patio?
Yes, it is a common base layer for both. A compacted layer gives sheds and paver patios a stable, drained foundation that resists settling unevenly over time. It is usually finished with a thin leveling layer of sand or fine screenings on top before pavers or a shed floor go down.
