“Poured a new slab for the workshop behind the house in Lewisburg, and the contractor called for six tons of 57 stone under it for drainage before the concrete went down. The tandem eased down our gravel drive and dumped it in one pile close enough to wheelbarrow to the forms without much trouble. Compacted it in two passes with the plate tamper before the crew set the forms. West Virginia Rock Supply beat the quote from the ready mix place by a good margin on delivery alone. Almost a year later, through a hard winter freeze, the slab hasn't settled or cracked anywhere.”

- Angular crushed rock
On steep hollows and shale slopes, rain can bring seepage out of the hillside above a drive. #57 Limestone suits drainage systems that need crushed stone with gaps for water collection and movement. It can also serve in concrete placements using crushed aggregate. The stone addresses the drainage installation itself, while the hillside still needs a route that directs water safely across or away from the travel surface.
When a pipe is planned to catch seepage above a hollow driveway, install #57 Limestone around that pipe run and continue the system to a suitable outlet. This placement gives the drain stone a defined job instead of scattering it across the slope. In the Kanawha Valley or the New River Gorge, account for the grade and the direction water takes after leaving the pipe.

Common Uses
Concrete Aggregate
Concrete mixes often use #57 stone as a main aggregate. The 3/4 to 1-inch stone range forms a supporting framework that helps concrete carry compressive loads in foundations, slabs, and structural elements.
French Drains & Drainage Systems
#57 stone leaves open paths between the pieces, so water can move through French drain installations, perimeter drainage, and curtain-style drain systems. The even gradation helps water pass through without settling or clogging.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Behind a retaining wall, #57 stone forms a draining backfill zone that also supports the structure. Letting water move away from the wall helps reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Driveway & Parking Surfaces
On hollow driveways on grade and parking spots, #57 stone makes a draining surface with dependable vehicle grip. When compacted, the angular rock locks together, and its somewhat larger pieces help tires hold traction.
Why Choose #57 Limestone
Industry-Standard Sizing
ASTM aggregate gradation specifications classify #57 stone by a defined size range. That sizing gives engineers a known material selection for specified applications.
Drainage Space
Because #57 stone runs 3/4 to 1-inch in size, the pieces leave open channels for water movement. It is used for drainage work at homes and commercial sites.
Structural Strength
#57 stone works in concrete aggregate and base material where loads need support and settling needs to be limited. Compaction brings its angular pieces together for a stable layer.
Multi-Purpose Value
#57 stone works in concrete, drainage, and decorative landscape projects. Using one material across several phases can reduce the number of aggregate types needed for the job.
Frequently Asked Questions About #57 Limestone
Customer Reviews
Three driveways fixed in one delivery
Managing three rental units on the same street in Martinsburg, so when the driveways started potholing I ordered nine tons of 57 to fix all three at once. Delivery ran about an hour past the window they gave me, but the driver called ahead and placed it exactly where the tenants needed. Compacted well and no complaints since, though I'll pad the schedule next time.

First yard project done right
First house, first big yard project, and I had no idea what I was doing until the folks at West Virginia Rock Supply talked me through how much I'd need to backfill a small retaining wall behind our place in Elkins. Ended up with about four tons, delivered on a Tuesday morning right on schedule. Compacts nicely and the wall hasn't shifted through a full winter of freezing and thawing.

Workshop Slab Holds Through Winter
Poured a new slab for the workshop behind the house in Lewisburg, and the contractor called for six tons of 57 stone under it for drainage before the concrete went down. The tandem eased down our gravel drive and dumped it in one pile close enough to wheelbarrow to the forms without much trouble. Compacted it in two passes with the plate tamper before the crew set the forms. West Virginia Rock Supply beat the quote from the ready mix place by a good margin on delivery alone. Almost a year later, through a hard winter freeze, the slab hasn't settled or cracked anywhere.

Dry stalls since the June rains
Three tons of 57 for a French drain along the low side of our barn near Buckhannon, where runoff off the ridge used to pool right at the stall doors. Delivery came within the window they quoted and the driver dumped it close enough that I only needed a wheelbarrow for the last stretch. The horses haven't stood in mud once since the wet spell in June.

Drain Field Needed a Second Scoop
Our drain field near Sutton needed regrading after years of standing water, and two tons of 57 stone filled most of the trench. The far end came up short; I called back for another half ton to finish it.
