#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Hillsboro, OR

Hillsboro sits at the center of Oregon's Silicon Forest, and contractors working on both new business campuses and residential subdivisions order #57 crushed stone delivery by the ton for driveway bases, drainage lines and wall backfill. The stone ships from the nearest yard serving the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro, and the per ton rate steps down as the order size grows. What follows covers where this angular gray stone fits into Hillsboro projects, how much a typical job takes, how fast it arrives and how the delivered rate is built.

Where #57 Crushed Stone Gets Used in Hillsboro

In Hillsboro, #57 crushed stone most often goes down as the compacted base beneath a gravel or paver driveway, since the valley soil common across Washington County needs a firm layer before pavers, gravel or even a shed pad goes on top. It also lines footing trenches and French drains around new construction, where builders work against a higher water table typical of the flat Tualatin Valley floor. Landscapers use it as backfill behind retaining walls on the few sloped lots near the edges of town, since it drains instead of trapping water against the wall. Property managers at the area's business parks use it for equipment pads and overflow parking areas for the same load bearing reason.

Hillsboro's Soil and Growth

Hillsboro anchors the western side of the Portland metro, home to just over 110,000 residents, in the flat Tualatin Valley that has shifted over the past few decades from farmland to one of the country's larger centers for semiconductor manufacturing. The valley floor is mostly silt and clay loam, fertile for farming but slow to drain once compacted under a house pad or a parking lot. New subdivisions keep pushing out from the older core near downtown Hillsboro, and both the new construction and the established streets run into the same problem: native valley soil will not carry a driveway or a walkway on its own once winter rain sets in. #57 crushed stone's angular, broken shape locks together under compaction in a way the valley's native soil cannot, which is why it is a standard base material on so many local sites.

How Much #57 Crushed Stone a Hillsboro Job Takes

#57 crushed stone is sold and priced by the ton, so figure the job in tons rather than cubic yards. A cubic yard of the stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, which works out to roughly 120 square feet of coverage at 2 inches deep, 60 square feet at 4 inches and 40 square feet at 6 inches, all per ton. Figuring quantity starts with cubic yards: length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divided by 324, then multiplied by the stone's weight per yard and divided by 2,000 pounds to land on a ton count. A 12 by 50 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep comes out close to 10 tons. Rather than run that math by hand, the #57 crushed stone calculator takes your square footage and depth and returns a ton figure.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#For Hillsboro, #57 crushed stone is a gray, angular aggregate crushed from quarried rock and screened down to a consistent three quarter to one inch particle size. Its broken, angular faces are what set it apart from smooth, rounded stone like pea gravel: they interlock under a compactor instead of rolling past each other, which is what lets the material lock into a firm, stable base layer. A cubic yard weighs close to 2,700 pounds, well over twice the weight of an equal volume of mulch or bark, which is why the material is priced and delivered by the ton rather than the cubic yard. Because the angular pieces leave open gaps rather than packing down tight, water moves through the stone instead of collecting on the surface, unlike sand or fine gravel.

That drainage quality is why #57 crushed stone shows up so often under driveways, inside footing trenches, along French drains and as backfill behind retaining walls. It also holds up well as exposed surface stone for equipment pads and low traffic parking areas at business sites around Hillsboro, where a firm, draining surface matters more than a smooth walking texture. Because grading standards for #57 stone are consistent nationwide, the size and performance stay the same no matter which yard fills a particular order.

A typical Hillsboro 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.
