#57 Crushed Stone Delivery in Everett, WA

North of Seattle on the shore of Puget Sound, Everett is where contractors reach for #57 crushed stone delivery whenever a job needs a base that will not shift once it is compacted, from driveway subgrade to backfill behind a retaining wall. The material ships from the nearest yard and is priced strictly by weight, with the rate easing downward as the ton count climbs. Below is a rundown of the jobs this stone handles best around Everett, WA, how the ton figure gets worked out, what the delivered price looks like, and how quickly an order shows up.

How Everett Properties Put #57 Crushed Stone to Work

Everett contractors lay this stone most often as the compacted base under a new driveway, since the region's dense glacial soil holds water and needs a firm layer underneath before gravel, pavers or asphalt go down. It also shows up inside French drains and along footing trenches on older residential lots near downtown, where drainage was never upgraded to modern standards. Waterfront and industrial properties near the port use it for equipment yards and gravel lay down areas, since it compacts firm enough to carry heavy loads and still drains instead of turning to mud. On sloped lots east of downtown, it backfills retaining walls for the same reason: the angular pieces let water pass through rather than building pressure against the wall.

Everett's Geography and Growth

Everett grew up around its waterfront shipyards and aircraft manufacturing, and that industrial history still shapes the mix of neighborhoods, from older streets close to the water to newer subdivisions pushing east toward the foothills. The city's population runs about 113,000, and it sits within the broader Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro even though the drive south to Seattle itself covers real distance rather than a quick hop. Soil across the area follows the same glacial till pattern found up and down Puget Sound: dense, slow to drain and prone to standing water through the long wet season, conditions that make a well draining base material worth the extra step on almost any outdoor project.

Delivery Timing Around Everett

Delivery speed here tracks directly with order size. The smallest tier, 3 to 7 tons, typically arrives in 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 through 14 tons and most orders move same day or the next business day instead. Once an order reaches 15 tons, the delivery charge disappears entirely, and those full loads also get first priority on the schedule. Delivery in Everett covers the current service area for this city along with what to expect on the day the truck shows up.

Working Out Your Tonnage

This stone is priced and delivered by the ton, so figure the job in tons before you ever think about cubic yards. A cubic yard weighs close to 2,700 pounds, which translates to roughly 120 square feet of coverage at a 2 inch depth and about 60 square feet at 4 inches, per ton. To work it out by hand, take the length in feet times the width in feet times the depth in inches and divide the result by 324; that gives cubic yards, which then converts to tons using the material's weight. Skip that arithmetic by running your measurements through the #57 crushed stone calculator, which returns a ton figure ready to order against.

What #57 Crushed Stone Costs Per Ton

Three pricing tiers apply here, each figured strictly per ton. The entry tier starts at 3 tons, priced at $195 a ton and arriving within 1 to 2 business days. Move up to 8 tons or more and the rate settles at $107 a ton, usually with same day or next day service. The top tier starts at 15 tons, where the rate falls to $82 a ton and the delivery charge is waived outright. As with any order, the final delivered number depends on the ZIP code entered at checkout, since it factors in the distance from the nearest yard.

How to Order #57 Crushed Stone in Everett

Placing an order takes three things: a delivery ZIP, a ton count and a date that works. It is worth checking whether a slightly larger order crosses into a cheaper tier, since moving from 7 tons to 8, or from 14 to 15, frequently lowers the total even though more material is being delivered. Washington cities served for this product are listed on the #57 Crushed Stone in Washington hub. Most residential jobs around Everett fall somewhere between 8 and 15 tons, regardless of whether the stone is going under a driveway, into a drain line or behind a retaining wall.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#57 crushed stone is a crushed and screened gray aggregate, sized to a consistent three quarters to one inch across every load. Because it comes from quarried rock broken down mechanically rather than smoothed by water or weather, its faces stay sharp and angular, which is the reason it performs differently than a rounded material like pea gravel or river rock. Those jagged edges interlock under compaction instead of rolling past one another, turning a loose pile of stone into a base layer that holds its shape under a driveway or a patio.

Weight is the other defining trait: a cubic yard runs close to 2,700 pounds, heavy enough that pricing and delivery are built entirely around tonnage rather than volume, unlike lighter bagged or bulk materials sold by the yard. The gaps between the angular pieces stay open even after compaction, so water drains through the stone rather than sitting on top of it, a property that matters as much for surface parking areas as it does for material buried underground in a French drain. Because the sizing specification is standard across the industry, #57 stone delivered to a job site in one part of the country matches the stone delivered anywhere else, which is part of why it remains one of the most requested bulk aggregates for both structural and drainage work.

How crews use #57 Crushed Stone in Everett

In and around Everett, #57 crushed stone shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is driveway gravel, often on rural drives and acreage projects in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is drainage gravel, which we see across longer driveways and outbuilding work on partial-truck deliveries. Most Everett loads land in the 4 to 8 ton range, with full trucks on the books for larger pads and drives.

Delivery day in Everett

A typical Everett drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. 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.
