#57 Crushed Stone in Syracuse: Local Overview

Syracuse anchors the Syracuse, NY metro area in central New York, a city of roughly 140K people surrounded by a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. Local contractors and homeowners keep steady demand for #57 stone through both the building season and winter drainage repairs, and the same material moves out to the wider region toward Rochester and Buffalo to the west and down toward the Hudson Valley to the southeast. #57 Crushed Stone in New York follows the same size and grading everywhere in the state, so a Syracuse order matches the same specification used anywhere else New York wide.

Delivery and Lead Times in Syracuse

Delivery timing scales with order size. An order of 3 tons or more ships in 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 tons or more and delivery moves to same or next day. At 15 tons or more, delivery is free, which fits the larger drop size a truck brings on bigger jobs. Check delivery in Syracuse for current scheduling in your area.

Best Uses for #57 Crushed Stone in Syracuse

The stone's angular, open structure lets water pass through instead of pooling, which makes it a common choice under concrete slabs, inside French drains and along foundation perimeters where standing water causes problems through Syracuse's wetter months. It also works as a driveway base layer, a walkway sub base, or backfill around drain pipe and retaining walls. Its size compacts into a stable base without turning to mud the way finer material can. Landscapers around Syracuse also spread it as a working surface under sheds, around utility pads and along drainage swales where a hard, well drained footing matters more than a polished finish.

How Much #57 Crushed Stone You Need

#57 crushed stone weighs about 2700 pounds per cubic yard, so turning a project's square footage and depth into a ton figure takes a short conversion. Use the calculator to enter your length, width and depth and get a ton total without doing that math by hand, then round up slightly to cover compaction.

Pricing Notes for Syracuse Orders

Pricing runs by the ton and drops as order size climbs. Orders of 3 tons or more run $155 per ton. At 8 tons or more, the rate falls to $68 per ton. At 15 tons or more, the rate drops to $44 per ton and delivery is included at no extra charge. Smaller orders carry a delivery fee on top of the per ton rate; larger orders fold that cost into the lower rate instead. Contractors running several Syracuse jobs off one delivery often size the order up to the 15 ton tier on purpose, since the lower per ton rate and free delivery together tend to beat ordering smaller loads more often.

Ordering #57 Crushed Stone for Syracuse Delivery

Confirm your tonnage first, then place the order with a delivery address in Syracuse. Orders of 15 tons or more ship free and schedule best when placed a few days ahead of the job. Smaller residential orders of 3 to 8 tons still arrive within a couple of business days, so a weekend project can usually be scheduled during the week it's needed.

About #57 Crushed Stone

#57 crushed stone is a washed, angular gray aggregate screened to about three quarters of an inch up to a full inch across, tight enough grading that it compacts evenly instead of leaving gaps a finer material would fill with dust. In Syracuse, where the ground freezes and thaws through a long winter season, that open structure matters: water moves down through the stone rather than sitting on top and refreezing, which keeps a driveway base or a French drain from heaving the way a denser fill can. It carries about 2700 pounds to the cubic yard, dense enough to stay put under vehicle weight and light equipment without shifting or rutting. Contractors around Syracuse use it as a base course under asphalt and pavers, as backfill around foundation drain pipe, and as a standalone surface for utility access roads and equipment yards where a hard, well drained footing matters more than a finished look. Because the stone is angular rather than rounded, individual pieces lock against each other once compacted, giving the base more resistance to lateral movement than a rounded pea gravel or river rock would provide in the same application.

Around Syracuse, #57 crushed stone is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard.

Local Syracuse orders cluster around the partial-truck range, with full loads booked for paving prep and base courses.
