Gravel and stone delivery in Clay, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Chalkville, Deerfoot Parkway, Cosby Lake and the rest of Clay.
Stone orders in Clay are driveways, parking pads and drainage. A driveway that has gone soft needs crusher run first, packed, and #57 on top. Chert is the cheap one-layer option on a long rural drive. For a French drain or under a slab it is #57. Say what the stone is for on the quote form and the right one gets sent. Stone is heavy, so a loaded truck needs firm ground around Chalkville too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Clay
Clay sits in hilly northeastern Jefferson County where chert and sandstone ridges run northeast with red clay valleys between them. Bedrock is shallow on the ridge lots and the clay in the hollows drains slowly, with small creeks feeding Cosby Lake and Turkey Creek that back up in storms. Most of the housing is subdivisions built since the 1980s on cleared, graded slopes, and the January 2012 tornado left rebuilt lots with disturbed ground; settling and washed side yards are the typical fill needs.
What it is for
- A new gravel driveway or parking pad
- Topping up a driveway that has gone to mud
- Base under concrete, pavers or a shed
- French drains and drainage trenches
Stone does not fix a soft driveway by itself. If the ground underneath is mud, it needs to be dug out and built up with crusher run before the top stone goes on.
Getting the truck in
Subdivision streets off Deerfoot Parkway and Old Springville Road are standard, but many lots are on steep, winding roads with driveways too steep for a loaded truck. Most Clay street addresses carry a Pinson or Trussville zip code.
Questions people ask
Crusher run or #57 for a driveway?
Both, in that order. Crusher run packs into a hard base, usually four inches of it. #57 goes on top, two to three inches, because it stays loose and sheds water. Chert is a cheaper one-layer option for a farm or back drive.
How many tons of gravel do I need?
One ton of crushed stone covers about 80 to 100 square feet at two inches deep. A 12 by 50 foot driveway at four inches of crusher run is about 10 to 12 tons, which is most of a tandem load.
Can a dump truck reach my spot in Clay?
Subdivision streets off Deerfoot Parkway and Old Springville Road are standard, but many lots are on steep, winding roads with driveways too steep for a loaded truck.
