Finding a dependable #57 crushed stone supplier in Rochester, NY often comes down to how the material is priced and how fast it shows up, and this page covers both for the Rochester market.

Local Overview: #57 Crushed Stone Supplier in Rochester, NY
Rochester anchors the Rochester, NY metro area in western New York, a market with a steady mix of residential remodels and small commercial paving jobs. Nearby centers such as Buffalo to the west and Syracuse to the east draw on the same regional supply, which keeps grading and sizing consistent across the area. #57 Crushed Stone in New York carries that same specification statewide, so a Rochester order matches the same size, shape and gray color used anywhere else in New York.
Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone Around Rochester
The stone's angular pieces interlock once compacted and let water move through rather than collect on top, which is why Rochester contractors reach for it under concrete slabs, along foundation perimeters and inside French drains during the region's wetter stretches off the lake. It also works well as a driveway base course, a walkway sub base, or backfill around buried drain pipe, holding its shape under vehicle weight instead of settling unevenly. Some crews also spread it as a working pad under sheds and storage structures where drainage matters more than a finished look.
How Much #57 Crushed Stone Your Rochester Project Needs
#57 crushed stone weighs about 2700 pounds per cubic yard, and turning a driveway or drainage trench's dimensions into a ton figure takes a short conversion. Run your length, width and depth through the calculator to get that ton figure without doing the math by hand, then round up slightly to cover compaction and settling.
Delivery and Lead Times in Rochester
Lead time depends on how much stone you order. A 3 ton order ships in 1 to 2 business days. Stepping up to 8 tons or more moves delivery to same or next day. At 15 tons or more, delivery is free, which suits larger jobs that already need a bigger drop from the truck. See delivery in Rochester for current scheduling in your area.
Pricing Notes for Rochester Orders
Every tier here is priced per ton. Orders starting at 3 tons run. Order 8 tons or more and the rate drops to. Order 15 tons or more and the rate falls to, with delivery folded into that price rather than billed separately. Smaller orders carry a separate delivery charge that shrinks as the order size grows, so it often pays to size a Rochester order up rather than order twice.
Ordering #57 Crushed Stone for Rochester Delivery
Start with the calculator to lock in a tonnage, then place the order with a Rochester delivery address. Contractors ordering 15 tons or more for free delivery tend to book a few days out to line up trucks, while smaller residential orders of 3 to 8 tons typically land within a couple of business days of ordering. Either way, ordering the full tonnage up front avoids a second delivery fee later in the job.
About #57 Crushed Stone
Gray and angular, #57 crushed stone is screened to a consistent three quarter inch to one inch size, large enough to drain freely and small enough to compact into a stable, walkable surface. Rochester's lake effect winters put real stress on anything holding water near the surface, and this stone's open gaps give that water somewhere to go instead of pooling and refreezing under a driveway or patio base. Each cubic yard weighs in around 2700 pounds, enough mass to resist shifting under parked vehicles or foot traffic once it is spread and compacted. Around Rochester, contractors reach for it most often as a driveway base layer, as backfill around foundation and yard drain pipe, and as the working surface for equipment yards and utility access paths where drainage matters more than appearance. The angular shape is the key difference from smoother round stone: broken faces lock together under compaction, so the base resists rutting and lateral spread in a way that pea gravel or river rock cannot match in the same footprint.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Rochester
Rochester contractors keep #57 crushed stone on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Top of the list is driveway gravel, where the material is rolled out in tight urban lots and infill builds and screeded to grade. Right behind that is drainage gravel, common in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Rochester sits at about 210,000 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Rochester
Delivery in Rochester runs out of the nearest pit; you get a two hour arrival window the evening prior and a call when the driver leaves the scale. Plan for 12 ft of clear path for a tandem and 14 ft for a tri-axle, plus a level area at the dump point so the bed lifts straight. 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.

Is #57 crushed stone priced by the ton or the cubic yard?
It is priced and delivered by the ton, not the cubic yard. Every tier on this page, from the 3 ton starting point up to the 15 ton free delivery threshold, is a per ton rate, so figure your Rochester order in tons when you plan the job and place the order.
How big is #57 crushed stone?
#57 crushed stone runs from about three quarters of an inch up to one inch across, a mid sized angular gravel. That range is small enough to compact into a firm base but large enough to keep drainage gaps open between pieces, unlike sand or fine screenings that pack down solid.
Will #57 crushed stone work for a French drain?
Yes, it is a common choice for French drains and foundation perimeter drains because the angular pieces leave open channels for water to move through rather than pool. Around Rochester, where seasonal moisture is common, that drainage behavior is a big part of why contractors specify it around foundations and low spots.
How many tons of #57 crushed stone does a typical driveway need?
It depends on the driveway's length, width and depth. #57 crushed stone weighs about 2700 pounds per cubic yard, so the calculator converts your measurements into a ton figure directly, which is more reliable than estimating a truckload count by eye for a Rochester driveway project.
How fast can a Rochester address get #57 crushed stone delivered?
Timing scales with order size. A 3 ton order ships in 1 to 2 business days, an 8 ton order moves to same or next day delivery, and a 15 ton order ships free, reflecting the larger truckload that quantity requires to load and deliver.
What is #57 crushed stone typically used for?
It is most often used as a driveway base layer, backfill around foundation or yard drain pipe, and a working surface for equipment yards or utility access paths. Its angular shape locks together once compacted, giving it more stability under weight than rounder gravel used for the same jobs.
