“I own three rental houses in Eugene and one of them had water working its way into the crawlspace every rainy season. A contractor recommended backfilling around the foundation with washed stone instead of the native clay soil, so we ordered fourteen tons of fifty seven and had it placed around the perimeter with a drain tile underneath. Oregon Rock Supply's driver worked around a tight side yard and dumped it in three smaller piles so we could wheelbarrow it without tearing up the lawn. Through last winter's rain the crawlspace stayed bone dry for the first time in years, and tenants stopped mentioning the musty smell.”

- Angular crushed rock
From winter into spring, Willamette Valley clay may keep moisture near the surface, while ground east of the Cascades can be dry and subject to frost. Conditions also vary along the Oregon Coast and Columbia River Gorge. #57 Stone is crushed material suited to drainage installations and concrete work. The gaps left among its pieces make it useful where a system needs a consistent route for water.
This matters on farm and vineyard roads and around construction work that can see recurring wet ground. On a drainage run, install #57 Stone in the area intended to convey collected water rather than treating it as a sealing surface. That placement makes use of its open structure. It is also suitable for driveway surface material and exposed landscape ground cover where its broken appearance fits the intended finish.

Common Uses
Concrete Aggregate
In concrete, #57 stone works as a coarse aggregate for foundations, slabs, and structural elements. The 3/4 to 1-inch stone size creates the internal framework that contributes to concrete's compressive strength and durability.
Drainage Stone
For French drains, curtain drains, and perimeter drain lines, #57 stone leaves open paths for water to move. Its evenly sized pieces maintain voids that resist plugging and settlement, which is useful in winter-wet Willamette Valley clay.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Place #57 stone behind a retaining wall where drainage is needed. The stone supports the backfill while letting water escape instead of building hydrostatic pressure against the wall.
Driveway & Parking Surfaces
For driveways and parking areas, #57 stone provides an open surface that lets water move through. Compaction nests the angular pieces together, while the larger stone size helps tires maintain traction.
Why Choose #57 Stone
Defined Aggregate Gradation
ASTM aggregate gradation specifications set the particle-size range for #57 stone. This defined sizing is used when engineered applications call for a specified aggregate.
Superior Drainage
Stone sized 3/4 to 1-inch leaves open voids between the pieces for water movement. #57 stone is suited to drainage layers at residential and commercial sites, including areas dealing with winter clay.
Structural Strength
#57 stone can be placed beneath load-bearing work or incorporated into concrete where a stable aggregate layer is needed. When compacted, its angular particles seat against one another to help limit settling under heavy loads.
Uses Across the Job
#57 stone works in concrete, drainage installations, and landscape features. Using it for several tasks can reduce the number of aggregate materials involved in a phased project.

Backfill that finally stopped the basement seepage
I own three rental houses in Eugene and one of them had water working its way into the crawlspace every rainy season.

Held up well behind the fellowship hall
Our congregation near Coos Bay had standing water behind the fellowship hall every winter, so a work crew of volunteers put in a French drain using six tons of fifty seven stone. It drains beautifully now even during the heavy coastal storms in January. The only complaint from our crew was that the delivery window slipped by about an hour past what we'd scheduled around volunteer availability.

Reliable drain rock for the complex's French drains
We manage a townhome complex in Bend and needed material for French drains along four units where spring runoff was pooling against the foundations. Ordered nine tons of fifty seven stone and the driver navigated our narrow parking court better than the last supplier did. Drains have handled two full winters of runoff without backing up. Only knock is the load arrived damper than expected, which made shoveling it into the trench slower than planned.

Drain field rock held up under rain
We keep four horses on a small property outside McMinnville in wine country, and the septic drain field needed rework before the county would sign off. Twelve tons of fifty seven went in exactly to spec and Oregon Rock Supply got it out before the vineyard crews started their fall push down the road, which made scheduling easy. A year of valley rain later, the field drains fast and hasn't backed up once.

Solid base under the new patio slab
Poured a small patio slab behind the house near Astoria and used two tons of fifty seven underneath for drainage. The coast rain we get all winter just runs right through it. No standing water so far.
