#57 Stone (3/4″ To 1″)
Applications & Uses
#57 Stone in a 3/4" to 1" Size Range
#57 stone in a 3/4" to 1" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from granite, limestone, or trap rock. The stones are mechanically crushed and screened to ensure consistent sizing, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when compacted.
The 3/4" to 1" size range is ideal for promoting excellent drainage while providing stability, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. Typical applications include use as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for drainage solutions such as French drains and septic system fields. The angular shape of #57 stone helps prevent shifting and settling, but it does not compact as tightly as finer materials, which enhances drainage but may require edging for containment. This size is also suitable for use as backfill around retaining walls and pipe bedding.
