#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Clovis, California
Clovis sits at the eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, about 7 miles from Fresno, where flat farmland gives way to newer subdivisions and horse-friendly lots on acreage near the edge of town. #57 crushed stone delivery Clovis CA covers driveways, drainage runs, and base layers that have to hold up through the valley's hot, dry summers and the occasional heavy winter storm. This is a crushed, angular gray stone, screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, and it is sold by the ton.
Valley soil around Clovis is heavy and slow to drain, and the building stock ranges from ranch-style homes on larger lots to tighter tract subdivisions closer to town. An open-graded stone like this gives rainwater a path to follow instead of sitting against a foundation or turning a long driveway into a rutted mess. See #57 Crushed Stone in California for pricing details beyond Clovis.
Where #57 Crushed Stone Gets Used Around Clovis
This stone earns its place wherever a base layer has to carry weight without breaking down. Common uses include:
- Driveway and access road base under gravel or asphalt
- French drains and drainage runs around foundations
- Backfill for retaining walls and utility trenches
- Base under barns, sheds and equipment pads
- Erosion control on irrigation ditches and slopes
Its sharp, angular pieces bind together once compacted instead of rolling around under a wheel load, which is exactly what a long acreage driveway or a barn access lane needs to hold up over years of use. Homeowners on smaller in-town lots and contractors working larger acreage parcels both reach for the same stone for that reason. It also stands up to the weight of parked trailers and farm equipment far better than plain dirt or a thin gravel topping ever does.
How Much You Need for the Job
Multiply the length and width in feet by the depth in inches, then divide the total by 324 to find cubic yards. An 18 by 36 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep works out to exactly 8 cubic yards. This stone weighs roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so that same driveway comes to close to 10.8 tons once you convert. Lot size and depth both change the total, so plug your own numbers into the #57 crushed stone calculator before placing an order.
Delivery Windows and Lead Times in Clovis
Delivery on a 3 ton order generally takes 1 to 2 business days, an 8 ton order bumps that up to same or next day, and orders of 15 tons or more ship with the delivery fee waived. Long driveways and gated acreage parcels are common around Clovis, so note any gate codes or narrow gravel approaches before the truck is scheduled. Full scheduling detail is covered on the page for delivery in Clovis.

Placing an Order in Clovis
Ordering is a short process: give your address, select a tonnage tier, and lock in a delivery window that works for your schedule. Driveway and drainage jobs around Clovis and Fresno most often land in the 8 to 15 ton range, where the per ton price improves noticeably. Clear your access point ahead of delivery, whether that is a farm gate, a long gravel driveway, or a turnaround near a barn, so the load drops on the first pass. A small drainage fix or equipment pad usually falls at the low end of that range, while a full driveway or access road rebuild lands at the high end or above it. On a project that sits close to a tier boundary, it is worth checking whether the lower per ton rate at the next tier ends up costing less overall.
About #57 Crushed Stone
#57 crushed stone is an angular, gray crushed aggregate screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size. The sharp faces bite into one another under compaction, which makes it a standard pick for driveway and access road bases, French drains, retaining wall backfill, and any layer that has to bear weight without shifting. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds, and since it is sold by the ton rather than the yard, every order is measured and priced by weight.
Because the stone is angular instead of rounded, water drains through it quickly rather than pooling on top, and it resists breaking down into a soft, muddy layer under repeated truck or tractor traffic. It turns up under barns, sheds, equipment pads, and utility trenches, as well as along irrigation ditches and slopes prone to erosion. On smaller in-town lots, the same stone works for a shed base, a walkway foundation, or a short stretch of drainage trench.
Since the pieces interlock rather than settle smoothly on their own, the stone should be spread and compacted in layers instead of dumped and left as one deep pile. Done that way, it holds its shape through a hot, dry summer and a wet winter alike without needing to be topped off every season.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Clovis
Crews working out of Clovis tend to call for #57 crushed stone on a few repeat jobs each week. The first is driveway gravel, typically laid on rural drives and acreage projects with a base lift compacted before the finish course goes on. The second is drainage gravel, which lands here across longer driveways and outbuilding work and usually ships as a 4 to 8 ton order. Order size in Clovis averages 4 to 8 tons for homeowner jobs and climbs into full-truck loads for contractor work.
Delivery day in Clovis
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Clovis stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. Standard lead time on this lane is 24-48h, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.

What is #57 crushed stone used for?
It is commonly used as a driveway or access road base, French drain fill, and backfill around retaining walls or utility trenches. The angular, three quarter to one inch pieces lock together under compaction, so the base holds up under vehicle and equipment traffic instead of shifting the way smoother gravel can. It also works well under barns, sheds, and equipment pads.
Is #57 crushed stone sold by the cubic yard or the ton?
It is sold by the ton rather than the cubic yard. Crushed stone and gravel are both measured and priced by weight, so every tier and delivered rate quoted here is per ton. Materials that sell by the cubic yard, such as mulch, use a different pricing structure entirely and should not be confused with how this stone is ordered.
How many tons do I need for a Clovis driveway?
An 18 by 36 foot driveway base at 4 inches deep comes to about 10.8 tons once you convert from cubic yards. A longer access road, a wider pad, or a deeper base layer will all push that number higher. Since lot sizes vary widely around Clovis, run your own measurements through the calculator before placing an order.
How fast is #57 crushed stone delivery in Clovis?
A 3 ton order typically arrives within 1 to 2 business days, and moving up to 8 tons or more usually shortens that to same or next day. Exact timing depends on your address and the day's delivery schedule, so check the Clovis delivery page for the current window before you place your order.
Do larger orders get a better price per ton?
Yes. The price per ton steps down as the order size grows, and the delivery fee steps down with it. Both the lowest rate and free delivery kick in at 15 tons or more. Orders under that threshold pay a higher per ton rate along with a delivery fee that shrinks as tonnage increases.
What size is #57 crushed stone?
It is screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, which is the range that gives it the 57 label on standard aggregate charts. That size is coarse enough to lock together and resist shifting under a wheel load, yet small enough to compact into a firm, even base for a driveway or drainage trench.
Can #57 crushed stone handle drainage around a barn or shed?
Yes, it drains well and holds up under regular foot and equipment traffic, which makes it a solid choice around barns, sheds, and equipment pads. Water passes through the gaps between the angular pieces instead of pooling, and the stone resists compacting into mud the way finer material can after repeated wet seasons.
Will a delivery truck reach a long acreage driveway in Clovis?
Most gravel and paved driveways around Clovis are fine for a standard delivery truck, but long approaches, farm gates, and soft shoulders after rain can affect exactly where a load can be dropped. Flag any gate codes or narrow stretches when you order so the driver knows where to place the stone.
