#57 Gravel for Driveways, Drainage & Landscaping
Complete your outdoor project with high-quality #57 Gravel from Triple R Landscaping. This versatile crushed stone is one of the most widely used materials for landscaping, construction, and drainage projects thanks to its durability, drainage performance, and consistent size.
#57 gravel is a clean, crushed stone aggregate typically averaging about ¾ inch in size, with pieces ranging from roughly ½ inch to 1 inch. Because it contains very little stone dust or fines, the material allows water to flow easily through the spaces between stones, making it ideal for drainage applications and gravel surfaces.
Whether you’re building a driveway, installing drainage systems, or adding stone to a landscape design, #57 gravel provides reliable performance and a clean, natural look.
What Is #57 Gravel?
#57 gravel is produced by crushing natural stone such as granite, limestone, or similar hard rock and then screening it to achieve a consistent size. The angular shape created during the crushing process allows the stones to interlock slightly, creating a stable surface that holds up well under weight.
Unlike materials that contain fine particles, #57 gravel is washed and clean, which means it drains quickly and resists mud buildup. This makes it especially useful in areas where water management is important.
Common Uses for #57 Gravel
Because of its versatility, #57 gravel is commonly used for many landscaping and construction applications, including:
-
Gravel driveways and driveway topping
-
Drainage systems and French drains
-
Backfill behind retaining walls
-
Septic drain fields
-
Pipe bedding and underground utilities
-
Walkways and landscape paths
-
Base layers for concrete or construction projects
The open spaces between the stones allow water to move freely through the material, making it a preferred option for drainage installations and erosion control.
Benefits of #57 Gravel
Excellent Drainage
Because it contains minimal dust or small particles, #57 gravel allows water to flow through easily, preventing standing water and improving soil drainage.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Crushed stone aggregates are extremely durable and able to support heavy loads, making them ideal for driveways and construction projects.
Versatile for Many Projects
From drainage systems to driveways and landscape beds, #57 gravel can be used in a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Easy to Spread and Maintain
The consistent stone size makes #57 gravel easy to install and distribute evenly across large surfaces.
Ideal for Drainage and Gravel Driveways
#57 gravel is particularly popular for drainage systems and driveway surfaces. The stone’s open structure allows water to pass through quickly, preventing pooling and reducing pressure around retaining walls or foundations.
For driveways, the angular stone pieces help distribute weight evenly and create a stable surface that supports vehicles and equipment.

Needed some more gravel for my driveway. Contacted Triple R. They were fair priced and delivered quickly. Did a dump spread on the driveway, which saved me so much time and work!!
