FAQ

What's the difference between #57 stone and 3/4 inch gravel?

For most jobs they are the same stone — #57 is the construction-industry name for crushed stone in the 3/4-inch size family, and Gray Granite 3/4" is that same angular crushed granite under its everyday name. Contractors work from plans that call out #57; homeowners shop by the inch. Either way you get clean, angular stone that locks in place under traffic instead of rolling like a rounded pebble.

Which listing should you order?

  • Working from a plan that names #57 — order #57 Stone so your paperwork matches the product
  • Driveway, drainage, or general use — Gray Granite 3/4" is the same size family
  • Not sure — for typical residential work the two are interchangeable

Both ship up to 6 cubic yards per truckload: #57 Stone · Gray Granite 3/4". Size the job with the material calculator.
