Bridgeport, CT at a Glance
#57 crushed stone delivery in Bridgeport, CT is priced by the ton and quoted by ZIP code, the same way it works across the rest of Connecticut listed under #57 Crushed Stone in Connecticut. Bridgeport sits on Long Island Sound in Fairfield County, a coastal city with a mix of dense older neighborhoods near the water and looser suburban streets further inland. Properties here run into everything from sandy fill near the shoreline to heavier, rockier soil a few miles in, and both conditions are reasons homeowners reach for a well draining base stone rather than plain fill dirt. Nearby communities including Fairfield, Easton, Redding and Danbury place similar orders for the same reasons: driveways, drainage and patio bases that need to hold up through a New England winter. Bridgeport's population runs about 152,000, and its place on the Fairfield County shoreline means delivery routes regularly stretch well past the city line.
Delivery Timing for Bridgeport Orders
A 3 ton order into Bridgeport typically ships within 1 to 2 business days of booking. Bump the order to 8 tons and the truck usually moves same day or the next business day instead. Once a Bridgeport order reaches 15 tons, the delivery charge disappears entirely, and the per-ton rate also lands at its lowest point on the list. Booking earlier in the week tends to open up more scheduling slots than trying to get a truck out on short notice for a weekend project. The Bridgeport delivery page has the specifics on trucks, access and scheduling for this city.
How Bridgeport Properties Put This Stone to Work
Coastal exposure means a lot of Bridgeport driveways and walkways deal with salt, runoff and freeze-thaw cycling every winter, and #57 crushed stone holds up better under those conditions than a smoother, rounder gravel. It is a common choice for French drains around foundations, especially on properties where the yard slopes toward the house. Contractors also use it as compacted base under paver patios, sheds and retaining walls, where a stone that locks together under a plate compactor beats one that just settles under its own weight. Homeowners closer to Fairfield and Easton often order it for driveway resurfacing on longer gravel drives that see plow trucks all winter. Older Bridgeport lots with narrow side yards also lean on it as fill along foundation perimeters, where a well draining layer keeps splashback and basement moisture from becoming a recurring problem.
Working Out Your Tonnage
The standard formula is length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divided by 324, which returns cubic yards; because this stone weighs about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, multiply that yard figure by 1.35 to reach an approximate ton order. A 12 by 30 foot driveway section at 4 inches deep comes out to a little over 6 tons before rounding, which is enough to land inside the second pricing tier. Run your own numbers through the #57 crushed stone calculator instead of estimating by eye, since the difference between a 7 ton order and an 8 ton order can change both the per-ton rate and the delivery speed.
#57 Crushed Stone Delivery Pricing in Bridgeport, CT
delivery pricing in Bridgeport, CT runs $227 per ton starting at 3 tons, drops to $139 per ton at 8 tons, and reaches $113 per ton once an order hits 15 tons. Every stone and topsoil, gets weighed and billed per ton. Mulch breaks that pattern here, since it is sold by the cubic yard. The rate you see already reflects delivery to your ZIP code rather than a yard pickup price, so there is no separate line item to add later.
| Order size | Price per ton | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons or more | $227 | 1 to 2 business days |
| 8 tons or more | $139 | Same or next day |
| 15 tons or more | $113 | Free delivery |
How to Place Your Order
Start an order with your Bridgeport ZIP code so the page can show the correct per-ton rate and delivery window before you commit to a quantity. From there it is a matter of confirming tonnage, picking a delivery date, and making sure someone is on site to direct the truck to the drop point, especially on the narrower streets closer to the water.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is quarried rock that has been crushed and then screened to a tight size band, about three quarters of an inch to a full inch, so what arrives on the truck is consistent from the first shovel to the last. Unlike gravel that has been rounded by water or weathering, this stone keeps the sharp, angular faces left by the crushing process, and those edges are the whole point: once compacted, the pieces wedge against each other and resist sliding or rutting under weight. Expect a gray stone with some piece-to-piece variation, since it comes straight from the quarry rather than off a dye line. The angular shape also leaves open space between pieces even after compaction, so water keeps moving through the layer instead of collecting on top, which matters in a region like coastal Connecticut where freeze and thaw cycles punish anything that traps standing water. A cubic yard runs close to 2,700 pounds, on the heavier end for landscape stone, which is part of why it holds up so well as a driveway base or under a paver patio. Pricing and delivery for this material are set by the ton, not the cubic yard, so plan your order in tons once you have worked out the depth and coverage you need. A 3 to 4 inch compacted layer is standard for most base and drainage applications.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Bridgeport
Bridgeport 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. Bridgeport sits at about 151,599 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Bridgeport
Delivery in Bridgeport 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 size is number 57 crushed stone?
It runs roughly three quarters of an inch to one inch, gray in color, with the angular shape that comes from crushing quarried rock rather than the rounded look of natural gravel. That angularity is what makes it grip and hold once compacted, which is the main reason it gets used under driveways and patios rather than as a decorative topping. Pricing is set by the ton and quoted by your Bridgeport ZIP code rather than a flat state rate.
Can this stone handle a New England winter?
Yes. The gaps between the angular pieces keep water moving through the layer instead of letting it sit and freeze, which is a common failure point for driveways and drainage trenches once temperatures swing below freezing. Because the stone compacts hard and interlocks, it also resists heaving better than finer material during repeated freeze-thaw cycles. It is a standard choice across Fairfield County for exactly this reason.
How many tons should I order?
Start with your area's length and width in feet and pick a depth in inches, usually 3 to 4 inches for a base layer. The calculator on this page turns those measurements into cubic yards and then into the ton figure you actually order. It is generally safer to round up slightly, since a shortfall on delivery day means scheduling and paying for a second, smaller run.
Does the price differ by ZIP code within Bridgeport?
The per-ton rate and the delivery window are both tied to ZIP code, so addresses on opposite sides of the city can see small differences depending on route and access. Entering your specific ZIP before ordering gives you the accurate number rather than a citywide estimate. Larger orders consistently price lower per ton, since the tiers are built to reward one bigger delivery over several smaller ones.
What is the difference between #57 crushed stone and river rock?
River rock is naturally rounded and smooth, shaped by water over time, while #57 crushed stone tends to get chosen for decorative beds, dry creek beds or drainage swales where the rounded look matters more than load-bearing strength. Both are available for delivery into Bridgeport.
How fast does delivery reach Bridgeport?
Timing scales with order size. A 3 ton order generally arrives within 1 to 2 business days, an 8 ton order often ships same day or the next business day, and orders of 15 tons or more move on a similarly quick schedule while also qualifying for free delivery. Booking earlier in the day tends to open up the faster windows.
Is #57 crushed stone suitable for a French drain?
Yes, it is one of the more common fills for that job. The open space between the angular pieces lets water travel down and away from a foundation instead of pooling against it, which matters on Bridgeport lots where the yard slopes toward the house or the soil holds water longer than it should. Most installs wrap the trench in fabric first, then fill with the stone before covering the top a few inches below grade.
Is there a minimum order for Bridgeport delivery?
Pricing here starts at 2 tons, which is the practical floor for a bulk delivery. Anything smaller is usually more cost effective picked up as bagged material locally. If your project sits close to that 3 ton line, run it through the calculator first, since a small change in depth can shift you into a better pricing tier without much extra material.
