#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Provo, UT

Mountain benches and rocky clay along the Wasatch Front mean a lot of Provo lots need real help under a driveway or drainage line before anything else goes in, and #57 crushed stone delivery is the answer contractors reach for most. This angular gray stone, screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, ships by the ton with the rate improving as the order grows. What follows walks through where it earns its place around Provo, how pricing and delivery windows work, and how to convert a job's dimensions into a ton count.

Provo and the Wasatch Front

Provo sits along the eastern shore of Utah Lake with the Wasatch Range rising sharply just behind the city, close enough that Rock Canyon and the peaks above campus are visible from most of town. Population runs close to 115,000, and Provo anchors its own metro area shared with Orem and Lehi. Two cities fall within the range this page covers: West Jordan, about 30 miles north, and West Valley City, about 34 miles north, both up along the same Wasatch Front corridor. Soil on the benches above the lake tends toward rocky clay left behind by ancient Lake Bonneville, ground that compacts unevenly on its own and firms up considerably once a layer of angular stone goes down over it. Winters bring real snow and hard freezes, and a base layer that drains instead of holding water resists frost heave better than compacted native soil alone.

Where It Gets Used Around Provo

Driveway bases make up most of the demand, particularly on the benches above the valley floor where the rocky clay subgrade needs a firm layer before pavers or gravel go on top. French drains and footing trenches around foundations lean on the same stone, since its angular shape keeps water moving downhill through the layer instead of collecting against a wall during spring runoff. Retaining walls are common on Provo's sloped lots, and backfill behind them almost always calls for this stone rather than plain soil, because it drains under pressure instead of pushing against the wall when saturated. Equipment pads and parking areas on the city's edges near the canyon mouths use it as a standalone surface for the same reason.

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone in Provo

An order needs a delivery ZIP, a ton count and a target date. Provo prices follow the same tiered structure used everywhere else in the state, and the #57 Crushed Stone in Utah hub lists rates for other Utah cities if a project needs deliveries beyond Provo itself. Most driveway and drainage jobs on the benches fall between 8 and 15 tons, so it is worth checking the next tier up before finalizing an order, since a slightly larger order sometimes costs less overall than a smaller one.

Working Out How Much You Need

Since this stone is priced strictly by the ton, size every job in tons, not cubic yards. Start with the standard formula: length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divided by 324, which gives a cubic yard total. This stone weighs close to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so take that cubic yard figure and add roughly a third to it to arrive at tons. A 14 by 35 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep comes out to about 6 cubic yards, which converts to close to 8 tons once loaded. The #57 crushed stone calculator handles that conversion directly if entering dimensions is easier than doing the math by hand.

Pricing Breakdown

Three tiers set the rate. Ordering 3 tons or more brings the price to $172 a ton, delivered in 1 to 2 business days. Ordering 8 tons or more lowers that to $85 a ton, usually scheduled same day or the next business day. Ordering 15 tons or more drops the rate to its floor of $61 a ton, and at that point the delivery fee disappears entirely. This material prices the same way as every other aggregate and the topsoil sold around Provo, strictly by the ton. Mulch is the lone exception in that lineup, priced instead by the cubic yard. The final delivered total is calculated once your ZIP is entered, since distance from the nearest yard affects the cost.

Delivery and Lead Times in Provo

Delivery timing follows the pricing tiers directly. #57 Crushed Stone orders of 3 to 7 tons to Provo typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Orders of 8 to 14 tons move faster, often same day or the next business day depending on the route from the nearest yard. Hitting 15 tons removes the delivery fee altogether and still lands in the fastest of the three windows.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#57 crushed stone starts as quarried rock that gets mechanically crushed, then screened down until every piece lands in a consistent three quarter to one inch range. That process leaves sharp, broken edges on each piece rather than the smooth, rounded surface a stream or river would produce naturally, and those broken edges are the reason the material acts the way it does under a compactor: pieces catch against each other and lock into a stable layer instead of rolling apart the way pea gravel or river rock would. A cubic yard weighs approximately 2,700 pounds, considerably heavier than a cubic yard of topsoil or mulch, so the entire product moves through pricing and delivery by the ton rather than the yard.

Because the pieces stay angular even after compaction, small gaps remain open between them, and water finds its way through those gaps instead of sitting on top of the layer. That property makes it a natural fit under driveways, along French drains, inside footing trenches and behind retaining walls, wherever a surface needs to bear weight while still shedding water. It also stands on its own as a finished surface for equipment pads, gravel parking areas and mountain access roads where drainage matters more than a smooth, walkable finish. Because the grading follows a standard classification, a ton delivered to one address performs the same as a ton delivered to the next.

What #57 Crushed Stone costs in Provo

Local Provo yards quote #57 crushed stone by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul. 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. A ton of this material spreads across about 80 sq ft when laid 3 inches deep, useful when you are sizing a patio base or a walkway run.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Provo

In and around Provo, #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 115,479 people, the Provo order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.

Delivery day in Provo

A typical Provo 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.
