Deltona spreads across a grid of lakes and pine flatwoods in Volusia County, home to about 101,000 people on lots that were carved out of sandy Florida scrubland decades ago. Ordering #57 crushed stone delivery in Deltona brings in a load of angular gray stone that gives loose sandy ground something firm to build on, whether that means a driveway base, a drainage trench or a pad under a shed.
Why Sandy Deltona Lots Need a Base Material
Native soil around Deltona is mostly sand, which drains well but shifts and settles under weight, especially where a lot sits close to one of the city's many lakes. This stone solves that by locking together once compacted, spreading vehicle and structure loads evenly instead of letting them sink into loose sand. Builders as far out as Sanford and the Orlando area reach for the same crushed stone for exactly that reason.
Daytona Beach sits about 22 miles east and Sanford roughly 13 miles south, both pulling from the same regional stone supply that serves Deltona itself. Farther out, Orlando, Winter Garden and Palm Coast each fall within the wider delivery area, though most Deltona orders stay closer to home given how much lake shoreline sits between one neighborhood and the next.
Calculating a Delivery Quantity
Measure your area's length and width in feet, choose a depth in inches, usually 4 inches for a base and 6 for anything carrying vehicle weight, then multiply the three figures and divide by 324 to reach cubic yards. Because this material is priced and delivered by the ton, that cubic yard number gets converted using the stone's weight of about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard rather than ordered as is. Skip the arithmetic altogether with the delivery calculator, which turns your measurements straight into a tonnage figure.
What Gets Built With It Locally
Around Deltona this stone shows up as the base layer under a shell or paver driveway, as fill inside a French drain steering roof runoff away from a slab, and as backfill around a septic drain field where firm, free draining material matters. It also works as a low upkeep surface for a boat or RV parking pad, since Florida's heavy summer rain drains through it instead of turning bare sand into mud. Some homeowners near the lakes use it to firm up a soggy strip of yard that never quite dries out.
Deltona's rainy season runs long and heavy compared with much of the country, and a base layer that cannot shed water quickly ends up soft and rutted within a season or two. Spreading this stone under a carport pad, a fire pit patio or a stretch of side yard gives that water a path down and away instead of a place to collect, which matters more here than it would in a drier climate.
#57 Crushed Stone Delivery Pricing in Deltona
A 3 to 7 ton order runs $266 per ton and typically arrives within 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 to 14 tons and the rate drops to $176 per ton, often with same or next day delivery. Orders of 15 tons or more bring the rate down to $148 per ton and the delivery charge disappears completely. Pea gravel, river rock and topsoil sold around Deltona all follow that same ton based pricing. Mulch breaks from the pattern and is priced by the cubic yard instead.
Lead Times for Volusia County Delivery
Smaller Deltona orders under 8 tons generally arrive within one to two business days of being placed. Once an order climbs past 8 tons, same day or next day delivery becomes the more common outcome, useful for a contractor timing a pour or a compaction crew around the material's arrival. Current timing is posted on the delivery in Deltona page and can shift with hurricane season scheduling or heavy regional demand.
How to Order
Enter a Deltona address at checkout so the quote reflects your actual street rather than a countywide average, then complete payment online before a truck is dispatched. Depending on the access details you provide, the driver either backs into the driveway or tips the load at the curb. Coverage across the rest of the state, including cities well outside the 45 mile range shown here, is listed on the #57 Crushed Stone in Florida page.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is quarried rock that has been mechanically crushed and screened down to a tight size range, about three quarters of an inch to a full inch across, with the fine dust largely sieved out along the way. What remains is angular, sharp edged material that locks together once compacted rather than rolling the way rounder stone does. That interlocking matters most where native ground drains poorly on its own or where sandy soil needs something firmer layered on top of it. Gaps between the individual pieces let water travel down through the layer instead of collecting on the surface, which is useful anywhere heavy rain needs somewhere to go quickly.
The stone itself is gray, a cooler tone than the tan and beige shell material common in many Florida driveways, so it reads as a distinct, deliberate material rather than a patched repair. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, making it dense enough that a compacted base layer holds its shape under vehicle weight and does not settle the way loose sand does on its own. Typical applications include base material under a driveway, walkway or parking pad, drainage fill inside a French drain or behind a seawall or retaining structure, and backfill around a septic system's drain field where a free draining layer is part of the design. It can also serve as a finished surface on its own for a low maintenance path, RV pad or equipment yard.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Deltona
In and around Deltona, #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 100,513 people, the Deltona order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Deltona
A typical Deltona 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 size is #57 crushed stone?
It is a crushed, angular stone sized from about three quarters of an inch to a full inch, with most of the dust and fine particles screened out before it ships. Because the pieces are angular rather than rounded, they wedge together under a compactor instead of rolling loose the way beach pebble or river rock does. The finished color is gray, which reads as a cooler tone against Florida's typical tan shell driveways.
Is #57 crushed stone in Deltona priced by the ton or the yard?
It is priced and delivered by the ton, not the cubic yard. A cubic yard of this stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds, so the exact tonnage a project needs depends on the square footage covered and how deep the layer is spread. Entering those dimensions into the order form converts them to a tonnage figure automatically instead of leaving you to estimate cubic yards by hand.
How much stone does a typical Deltona driveway base need?
A driveway section 10 feet wide and 30 feet long, spread 4 inches deep, works out to a little under 4 cubic yards, which lands around 5 tons of stone once converted. A longer driveway, a deeper base, or ground that needs extra fill to level out will raise that number. The calculator gives a figure specific to your layout rather than a rough average like this one.
Can this stone be used around a septic drain field?
Yes, angular stone like this is commonly used as backfill and cover material around septic drain fields because it drains freely and will not compact into a solid, water blocking layer over time. It is often placed as part of the layered fill above the drain lines themselves rather than mixed directly into the trench. Local permitting and the system's design still determine exact placement, so check those requirements before digging.
How fast does delivery happen in Deltona?
Orders under 8 tons generally arrive within one to two business days of being placed. Orders of 8 tons or more often move to same day or next day delivery, since bigger loads get priority scheduling. Timing can shift during Florida's summer storm season, so it is worth checking current lead times before locking in a project start date.
Does the price per ton change with order size?
Yes. Smaller orders pay a higher rate per ton along with a delivery fee, since a partial load still requires a dedicated trip out. As the order grows past 8 tons and then 15 tons, the rate per ton steps down each time, and the delivery fee is waived entirely once an order reaches that 15 ton mark.
Will #57 crushed stone stay put in Deltona's sandy soil?
Once compacted, yes. Loose stone dropped straight onto sand can settle unevenly at first, which is why a base layer should be compacted with a plate compactor rather than left to settle on its own. A properly compacted layer of angular stone spreads weight across the sand below it instead of sinking into it, which is the whole point of using it as a base material here.
Is #57 crushed stone a good choice for standing water problems near a lake lot?
It can help. Because the stone drains freely between its angular pieces, spreading a layer in a low, soggy area gives water somewhere to move instead of sitting on top of saturated sand. It will not solve a drainage problem caused by grading or a blocked outlet on its own, but paired with a proper slope away from the house it is a solid piece of the fix.
