#57 crushed stone delivery in Broken Arrow, OK moves by the ton, and the rate per ton steps down the more a job orders. Broken Arrow sits just east of Tulsa in the eastern Oklahoma prairie, about 10 miles from downtown Tulsa, and the reddish clay soil under most of the city's newer subdivisions is exactly the kind of ground that benefits from a compacted stone base. Below is what this angular gray stone is used for locally, how the ton pricing works, and how fast an order actually shows up.
Broken Arrow's Soil and Growth
, with its broken, angular faces, locks together under compaction in a way rounded pea gravel cannot, which is why it is a common first layer on new construction lots around the city.
Where #57 Stone Gets Used Around Broken Arrow
Most orders in Broken Arrow go down as the base layer under a gravel or paver driveway, since the clay subgrade common here needs a hard, well draining layer before anything else is added on top. It also lines French drains and footing trenches on lower lots near creek bottoms, where the clay holds water long after a storm has passed. Contractors backfilling retaining walls on sloped lots favor it for the same drainage reason, and it shows up under equipment pads and gravel parking areas where a stable, low maintenance surface matters more than a smooth walking texture. Homeowners setting a shed or small outbuilding also spread a layer underneath first, since a compacted stone pad keeps the floor off wet clay far better than bare ground would.
Figuring How Many Tons You Need
Because #57 crushed stone is sold and priced by the ton, plan the job in tons rather than cubic yards from the start. Start with the area's length in feet times its width in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide that figure by 324 to get cubic yards; from there, the stone's weight of about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard converts that number to tons. A typical 12 by 40 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep lands close to 8 tons. Instead of calculating by hand, use the #57 crushed stone calculator, which converts your square footage and depth into the tons you need to order.
Pricing Notes
Our pricing structure divides orders into three ton-based tiers. Orders of 3 tons or more run $185 a ton, arriving in 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 tons or more and the rate drops to $98 a ton, usually delivered same day or the next business day. Push the order past 15 tons and the rate falls to $73 a ton, and delivery is free at that point. The exact delivered price is calculated once a ZIP code is entered at checkout, since hauling distance from the nearest yard is part of the final number.
Delivery and Lead Times
Delivery in Broken Arrow follows those same three tiers. Smaller loads of 3 to 7 tons are scheduled 1 to 2 business days out. Mid-size orders between 8 and 14 tons typically move same day or the next business day. A full truckload of 15 tons or more gets the fastest scheduling window along with the free delivery rate that comes with it. Delivery in Broken Arrow has the current service area and scheduling detail for the city.

About #57 Crushed Stone
For Broken Arrow area projects, #57 crushed stone is an angular gray aggregate that is crushed from quarried rock and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch particle size. Its broken faces are what set it apart from naturally rounded stone like pea gravel or river rock: under a plate compactor those angular edges catch against one another and lock into a firm, stable layer instead of rolling or shifting. A cubic yard of this stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, considerably heavier than mulch or topsoil, and that weight is the reason it ships and is priced by the ton instead of the cubic yard.
Because the gaps between the angular pieces stay open rather than packing tight, water passes through the material instead of pooling on the surface. That combination of load bearing strength and drainage is why it is chosen as a base layer under driveways and pavers, as fill inside French drains and footing trenches, and as backfill behind retaining walls. It also works as an exposed surface in low traffic parking areas and equipment pads where a hard, durable surface counts for more than a smooth finish. The size grading is standard across suppliers, so performance stays consistent regardless of which yard fills a given order.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Broken Arrow
Crews working out of Broken Arrow tend to call for #57 crushed stone on a few repeat jobs each week. The first is driveway gravel, typically laid in tight urban lots and infill builds with a base lift compacted before the finish course goes on. The second is drainage gravel, which lands here in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and usually ships as a 4 to 8 ton order. With a population around 122,756, Broken Arrow pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.
Delivery day in Broken Arrow
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Broken Arrow stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. 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.

Is #57 crushed stone sold by the ton or the cubic yard in Broken Arrow?
This material is invoiced by the ton. A cubic yard of this stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, heavier than lighter materials like mulch, so both the price and the delivered quantity are figured in tons from the start. Every quote for #57 crushed stone delivery in Broken Arrow works from a ton count based on the project's square footage and depth, not a yard figure.
What is #57 crushed stone typically used for?
It is most often used as a compacted base under driveways, as fill inside French drains and footing trenches, and as backfill behind retaining walls, since its angular shape drains well and locks together under compaction. It also serves as surface stone on parking pads and equipment areas where a firm, low maintenance surface matters more than a smooth finish. It is not typically chosen as a decorative walking surface.
How many tons of #57 crushed stone does a typical driveway need?
A common residential driveway base, roughly 12 by 40 feet at 4 inches deep, needs close to 8 tons. Larger or deeper driveways can run well past that. The exact figure depends on length, width and depth, so it is worth running the numbers through the #57 crushed stone calculator rather than estimating, since even a small change in depth shifts the ton count noticeably.
How fast does #57 crushed stone delivery arrive in Broken Arrow?
Deliveries of 3 to 7 tons usually take 1 to 2 business days to schedule. Orders ranging from 8 to 14 tons ship the same day or next business day. Full truckload orders of 15 tons or more get the fastest scheduling window available. Exact timing depends on the delivery ZIP entered at checkout and current scheduling in the area.
Does #57 crushed stone drain well?
Yes. The angular, broken shape of the stone leaves open gaps between pieces that do not pack tightly the way sand or fine gravel does, so water moves through the material rather than pooling on top. That is why it is a common choice for French drains, footing trenches and backfill behind retaining walls where standing water is a concern.
Can #57 crushed stone be ordered in less than 3 tons?
The published pricing tiers here start at 2 tons, which is the practical minimum for a delivered bulk order of this stone. For very small jobs it is worth checking whether a smaller quantity can still be scheduled, since delivery logistics for partial loads vary by location and route. Most driveway and drainage projects need well above 3 tons regardless.
What is the difference between #57 crushed stone and pea gravel?
#57 crushed stone is angular, crushed from quarried rock, and locks together under compaction, which makes it suited to base layers and drainage fill. Pea gravel is naturally rounded and smaller, and it does not compact into a stable base the same way, so it is chosen more often for walkways, playgrounds or decorative surface cover instead of structural base work.
How is the delivered price for #57 crushed stone calculated?
The delivered rate starts from the ton based pricing tier that matches the order size, then adds the hauling cost from the nearest yard, which depends on the delivery ZIP code entered at checkout. Larger orders land in lower per ton tiers, and orders of 15 tons or more include free delivery, so the final price reflects both the tier and the distance involved.
