Everything You Need to Know About #57 Stone
Size and Grading
- Size
- 3/16 inch to 1 inch
- Grading
- #57
- Type
- Angular crushed rock
A spread of #57 Stone shows the rough, crushed profile associated with this type of aggregate, making it a practical option for driveway surfaces and decorative ground cover as well as construction work. Its appearance is especially useful where the stone remains visible at a driveway edge, near a landscape area, or around a drainage feature.
Ground conditions vary from fast-draining coastal sand to clay over rock in the Brandywine Valley. Higher water tables near the Delaware Beaches can also affect how a drainage plan performs. For a French drain, keep #57 Stone in the portion of the system where water needs to travel through the aggregate. The connected spaces between the pieces support that movement, while the same material can serve in concrete placements and other site work.

Common Uses
Concrete Stone
In concrete mixes, #57 stone works as the coarse aggregate. The 3/16 to 1-inch particle range helps concrete handle compressive loads in foundations, slabs, and structural work.
French Drains & Drainage Systems
Because the pieces are evenly sized, #57 stone leaves connected open spaces for water in French drain work, curtain drains, and perimeter drainage layouts. Those voids let water move through the stone without readily plugging or settling.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Behind a retaining wall, #57 stone provides a firm backfill zone while letting water move through it. That drainage reduces water pressure against the wall and supports the area behind it.
Driveway & Parking Surfaces
#57 stone can serve as a draining driveway or parking surface. Its angular stones lock together when compacted, and the somewhat larger pieces give vehicle tires traction.
Why Choose #57 Stone
Stone Size Details
#57 stone is used when a consistent crushed-stone size range is needed. For engineered work, confirm the material requirements for the job before ordering.
Superior Drainage
With stones ranging from 3/16 to 1-inch, #57 creates open voids for water movement. It is well suited to residential and commercial drainage uses, including French drains where the Sussex water table has an outlet.
Structural Strength
Used in concrete or beneath a base, #57 stone helps carry heavy loads and reduce settlement. Compaction brings its angular particles together into a stable layer.
Multi-Purpose Value
#57 stone is used for concrete, drainage, and landscape stone. That range can simplify material ordering and handling across a project with several phases.
