Everything You Need to Know About #57 Stone
Size and Grading
- Size
- 3/16 inch to 1 inch
- Grading
- #57
- Type
- Angular crushed rock
Spring snowmelt can reach old Lake Bonneville clay along the Wasatch Front, where the soil may swell, while gravel benches can shed water quickly. Projects can include either condition. #57 Stone is useful in drainage systems because spaces between its crushed pieces form flow channels. It also serves concrete aggregate and general construction.
Plan the drainage layout before covering it with finished work, especially near detached garage pads or areas receiving snowmelt. Set #57 Stone in the drainage run designated to receive collected water so the material is used for the function it provides. Conditions differ across Utah Valley, Cache Valley, and the Uinta Basin, but alkaline soil and seasonal melt both make site drainage worth addressing. It can also be used as driveway surface material or decorative ground cover.

Common Uses
Concrete Aggregate
Concrete commonly incorporates #57 stone as its coarse aggregate. The 3/16 to 1-inch particle range creates an internal framework that helps concrete handle compression in foundations, slabs, and structural components.
French Drains & Drainage Systems
In French drain work, curtain drain layouts, and perimeter drainage, the even gradation of #57 stone leaves open paths for water. Those spaces let water move through the material instead of becoming trapped by clogging or settlement.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Place #57 stone behind a retaining wall to form a draining backfill zone. The evenly sized rock supports the area behind the wall and lets water move through, helping avoid hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Driveway & Parking Surfaces
For road base driveways and parking spaces, #57 stone can make a durable surface that sheds water. Compacted angular pieces key into one another, and the larger rock provides tire grip.
Why Choose #57 Stone
Stone Sizing
#57 stone has a defined aggregate size range. For engineered work, compare the material with the requirements listed for the project.
Superior Drainage
Water can travel through the gaps left by the 3/16 to 1-inch stone size. #57 stone is suited to residential and commercial drainage installations that need free movement of water through the rock.
Structural Strength
#57 stone can be used in concrete and as base material to support heavy loads while limiting settlement. When compacted, its angular pieces fit together to form a stable course.
Multi-Purpose Value
Use #57 stone for concrete, drainage work, or decorative landscape areas. On projects with several stages, that range of uses can limit the different aggregate materials required.
