#57 Stone (1/4″ To 1″, Vdot)
Applications & Uses
#57 Stone (VDOT) in a 1/4" to 1" Size Range
#57 stone with VDOT certification in a 1/4" to 1" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in construction and infrastructure projects. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material meets strict Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance for demanding applications.
The 1/4" to 1" size range offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage. The angular shape of the crushed stone allows it to lock together, providing stability for load-bearing surfaces while still permitting water to flow through, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion. This makes VDOT #57 stone ideal for use in road bases, driveways, drainage systems, and as a sub-base for concrete and asphalt. Its certified quality is especially valued in commercial and municipal projects where compliance and durability are critical. While its angularity enhances stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot traffic and is not typically used for decorative landscaping.
