Gravel Delivery in Central Alabama

Driveway gravel, drainage stone, base rock and decorative gravel — quarried and crushed right here in Shelby County and delivered by the load at wholesale prices.

Gravel straight from the source

Gravel is crushed and screened rock — mostly limestone around Calera — sorted into sizes by number. The lower the number, the bigger the stone. Because we load straight at the quarries next to our yard, you get fresh, correctly graded stone at wholesale price instead of paying a landscape yard to re-sell it.

Choosing the right gravel

  • For driveways: a compacted base of 825B, #411 or crusher run, topped with 2–3" of #57 or driveway gravel.
  • For drainage: clean #57 or #67 — no fines, so water moves through freely.
  • For paths and play areas: pea gravel — smooth, comfortable underfoot, easy to rake.
  • For ditches and erosion: rip rap Class I or II to armor the bank.

Not sure? Tell us the project and we will recommend the gravel — and how many tons — before you order.

Available types

Types of Gravel We Deliver

#8910 Gravel (Fines)

Stone dust and small chips. Compacts tightly — used as the leveling bed under pavers and flagstone, and for walkways.

#57 Gravel

Clean ¾"–1" blue-gray crushed stone. Excellent drainage for French drains, backfill around foundations, driveway top layers and fence posts. Always looks clean after rain.

#67 Gravel

½"–¾" crushed stone. Same uses as #57 in a slightly smaller size — popular for walkways, concrete mix and drainage.

#78 Gravel

⅜"–½" chip stone for concrete, asphalt mix, walkways and decorative top dressing.

825B / Base Stone

Graded base that compacts hard. The standard base under driveways and parking lots.

#5 Gravel

1"–1½" stone for drainage, driveways with heavy traffic and construction entrances.

#4 Stone

1½"–2" stone for septic fields, road and driveway base, and ditch drainage.

#2 Stone

2½"–3" stone for construction entrances and heavy-duty base.

Rip Rap Class I

10"–24" rock for ditches, culverts, rock walls and erosion control.

Rip Rap Class II

12"–36" rock for heavier erosion control along banks and outfalls.

Gabion Stone

Sized rock for filling gabion baskets and retaining structures.

Pea Gravel

Smooth, rounded ⅜" gravel for paths, patios, dog runs and playgrounds.

FAQ

Gravel Delivery FAQ

What is the best gravel for a driveway?

A two-layer driveway lasts longest: 4–6" of compacted 825B, #411 or crusher run as the base, then 2–3" of #57 or driveway gravel on top. Angular crushed stone locks together; rounded pea gravel does not.

How much gravel do I need?

Length × width × depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards; × 1.4 = tons. Or use our gravel calculator.

Do you deliver gravel near me?

Yes — throughout Shelby, Jefferson, Chilton and Bibb counties. For Baldwin and Mobile counties see South Alabama gravel delivery.

Can you spread the gravel?

Our trucks can tailgate-spread a load along a driveway when the site allows it. For grading and full installation ask about our grading services.
