#57 Crushed Stone Supplier Serving Rochester, NY

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. The city sits along Lake Ontario in western New York, home to roughly 210K residents who keep local contractors busy with driveway work, drainage projects and foundation backfill through most of the year.

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 $155 per ton. Order 8 tons or more and the rate drops to $68 per ton. Order 15 tons or more and the rate falls to $44 per ton, 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.
