“I run a small excavation outfit out of Skowhegan and we specified #57 for a septic drain field replacement that had failed inspection twice before. Ordered eighteen tons, split into two loads since the driveway is narrow and the tri-axle could not fit the whole run in one trip. Maine Rock Supply worked around our schedule and got both loads out within the week, beating the two week wait quoted at the box store in town. The stone was clean and uniform, exactly what our septic designer specified. Inspection passed on the first try, and the homeowner has had no backup issues since.”

A contractor may use #57 Stone at the drainage portion of a camp road, near a frost wall, or in concrete work where a consistent crushed aggregate is needed. The material leaves pathways between its pieces for water flow while also serving as aggregate in concrete. That makes it useful around Maine projects from the Midcoast to Downeast, where ledge and glacial till can change how a site handles runoff.
Deep frost and spring thaw make it important to give water a planned route rather than letting it remain beside a road or foundation area. Set #57 Stone in the drainage layer identified by the project plan, especially where near-grade ledge forces runoff sideways instead of downward. Keeping the aggregate confined to that drainage zone helps preserve its open flow paths and avoids blending it with surrounding fill.

Common Uses
Concrete Stone
Concrete mixes commonly use #57 stone as a main aggregate. Its 3/4 to 1-inch range forms the load-bearing portion of concrete for foundations, slabs, and structural work.
Drainage Stone Uses
#57 stone keeps water moving through French drains, curtain drains, and perimeter drainage systems because its even pieces leave connected voids. It helps water travel through the system instead of collecting in the stone.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Place #57 stone behind retaining walls to create a draining backfill layer. The stone supports the area behind the wall while helping limit water pressure, an important detail in freeze-thaw conditions.
Driveway & Parking Surfaces
For driveway and parking surfaces, #57 stone provides drainage and a durable layer. Compaction brings its angular pieces together, while the larger stone gives tires grip. A gravel subbase helps limit spring heaving through deep frost.
Why Choose #57 Stone
Stone Sizing
#57 stone is used where a controlled aggregate size is called for. Review project requirements before selecting material for engineered work.
Drainage Capacity
With pieces from 3/4 to 1-inch, #57 stone has voids between the aggregate for water to move through. Use it where a free-draining stone layer is needed for residential or commercial work.
Load Support
Use #57 stone in concrete or as a base layer where load support is needed. Its angular particles knit together when compacted and help reduce settling.
Multi-Purpose Value
Use #57 stone for concrete, drainage work, and decorative landscape areas. Using one stone type in several project stages can mean fewer materials to order and handle.

Drain field stone did exactly what it should
I run a small excavation outfit out of Skowhegan and we specified #57 for a septic drain field replacement that had failed inspection twice before. Ordered eighteen tons, split into two loads since the driveway is narrow and the tri-axle could not fit the whole run in one trip.

French drain finally handles runoff
Three tons of #57 for a French drain along the house in Wells, where water used to pool every storm. Clean stone with no clay mixed in. It drains within the hour now, even after a heavy downpour.

Solid drainage stone, arrived a bit wet
Our HOA board ordered eight tons of #57 to redo the drain field area behind the clubhouse in Falmouth after last year's soggy spring. The stone itself is exactly what our engineer specified, clean and consistent in size. Only issue was the load showing up soaked from an overnight rain at the yard, which made it heavier than the quote and left puddles on the driveway. Drains beautifully now that it's in the ground.

Perfect base under the garage slab
We laid twelve tons of #57 under a new garage slab out in Brunswick, compacted in two lifts before the concrete crew showed up. Maine Rock Supply had it delivered by nine in the morning, right on schedule, and the tri-axle placed it close enough to the forms that we barely needed the wheelbarrow. Six months later there's no settling anywhere along that edge.
