Gravel and stone delivery in Columbiana, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Downtown Main Street, Lay Lake, Shelby and the rest of Columbiana.
Stone orders in Columbiana 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 Downtown Main Street too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Columbiana
Columbiana sits in rolling country in southeastern Shelby County on the transition from the Valley and Ridge toward the Coosa River, with Lay Lake to the east. Soils are red clay over limestone, dolomite and shale with chert in the uplands, and Spring Creek and Waxahatchee Creek drain the low ground. Lakefront lots near Lay Lake have steep banks and soft shoreline soil; in-town lots are older with settled yards and mostly rural lots elsewhere.
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
Small-town streets downtown and long rural gravel drives outside town; Lay Lake lots often have steep, narrow access roads.
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 Columbiana?
Small-town streets downtown and long rural gravel drives outside town; Lay Lake lots often have steep, narrow access roads. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
