#57 Limestone

4.91,500+ reviews

Clean 1/2–1" crushed limestone for drainage and base

#57 limestone is crushed limestone screened to the #57 range, about 1/2 to 1 inch, with most of the dust and fines removed. The angular pieces lock together for a stable surface, and the open gaps between them let water drain fast. It's a workhorse stone for French drains, driveway top layers, drainage backfill, and slab and paver bases. It's always limestone, so we only offer it where limestone is quarried nearby. Size varies slightly and color varies by location.

#57 limestone is clean, angular crushed limestone about 1/2 to 1 inch with the fines screened out, not a packed base like road base.

Also called: 57 limestone, crushed limestone, clean limestone.

“I used #57 limestone for my project, and I was very pleased with the results. The stone was clean, consistent in size, and easy to spread, making the installation process smooth and efficient. It provided excellent drainage while creating a solid, stable base that compacted well. The finished look was clean and professional, and the quality of the material met my expectations. Overall, #57 limestone proved to be a durable, reliable choice, and I would definitely recommend it for similar construction or landscaping projects. ”

Google review · Mentions #57 limestone

I recently used Hello Gravel for a few refresh projects around my Uptown New Orleans home and had a really great experience. I ordered walkway gravel for around the house and paver and fountain areas, plus #57 limestone gravel for the street in front of my house to help with drainage and parking since I park on the street. Everything looked really nice and refreshed afterwards. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and really thorough in helping me figure out the right amount of material for each project. Communication was excellent throughout. They texted and called before, during, and after delivery, kept me updated on timing, and even gave me an exact ETA the day of delivery. The delivery itself was handled perfectly. They placed each pile exactly where I needed it, which made spreading and placement much easier. Pricing was good for the quality, and they were able to deliver on the exact date I needed with a convenient delivery window. Would absolutely use Hello Gravel again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. Driveways and drains usually take 3 to 4 inches. One ton covers about 115 square feet at 2 inches deep, or about 60 square feet at 4 inches.

It's a standard size number used by quarries and road departments. #57 stone runs from about 1 inch down to 1/2 inch, with very little fine material. Exact sizing varies slightly by quarry.

Same size, specific rock. #57 crushed stone can be granite, trap rock, or limestone depending on the quarry. #57 limestone is always limestone, which is a bit softer and usually lighter in color.

Yes. Clean #57 stone, about 1/2 to 1 inch, is the standard French drain fill. Line the trench with filter fabric, bed the perforated pipe in stone, and fill to just below grade.

Not as tightly. Without fines, #57 stays open so water can drain. For a hard-packed driveway, put road base underneath and #57 on top.

By dump truck, straight to your property. The driver dumps it in one pile where you choose. Pick a firm, level spot the truck can reach, clear of cars and overhead wires. Delivery is included in the price you see.
