Concrete Aggregate 57 Stone

#57 stone is crushed rock screened to fall between about 1 inch and 1/4 inch, with the fines washed out. The pieces are angular, so they lock together under weight instead of rolling around. Water pours right through because there's plenty of open space between the stones. That's why you'll find it under concrete slabs, in driveways, and packed around drain pipe.

The 57 is a size code from the ASTM D448 spec. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about what kind of rock they came from. You'll see it sold as #57 limestone, #57 granite, or #57 river gravel, and it's the same size in every case. Price runs a little higher than plain crusher run because the stone's been washed and screened.

How to choose within concrete aggregate 57 stone

Match the mix design

Batch plants and ready-mix trucks work to a spec. Confirm the size and gradation the plant is running before you order.

Coarse vs. fine

Coarse aggregate gives the mix its strength; fine aggregate fills the gaps. A slab needs both — usually delivered separately and blended at the plant.

Cleanliness matters

Fines and clay contamination weaken the cure. If a load looks dusty, ask for a wash spec sheet before you take delivery.
