Dirt, topsoil and gravel delivery in Bessemer

Revised October 2026

Delivered prices for Downtown Bessemer, Jonesboro, Lakewood, Hopewell and Rock Mountain Lakes, with delivery notes for this side of town.

What the ground is like

Bessemer lies in the southwest end of Jones Valley, a limestone and dolomite valley about three miles wide with the iron-ore ridge of Red Mountain on the southeast and coal hills to the north and west. Soils are heavy red clay with chert, and Valley Creek and its branches flood the low ground. Old iron and coal workings mean spoil and unstable fill under some older lots, and 1900s-era neighborhoods have settled foundations and sunken yards. The 35022 side toward Ross Bridge and Lake Cyrus is newer, mass-graded ground.

Getting a truck in

Downtown grid streets with alleys and on-street parking; older neighborhoods have narrow streets and small lots, while Ross Bridge-area subdivisions are HOA or gated.
