Gravel and stone delivery in Fultondale, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Chapel Hills, Black Creek Station, Fulton Springs and the rest of Fultondale.
Stone orders in Fultondale 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 Chapel Hills too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Fultondale
Fultondale sits on the ridges north of Birmingham that were mined for coal through the 20th century, so sandstone and shale are close to the surface and old mine spoil is likely under parts of town. Black Creek and Fivemile Creek run through the low ground and flood along US 31 and the I-65 corridor. Newer subdivisions west of I-65 were built on cleared, graded clay where settling is common; older in-town lots have sunken yards and settled foundations.
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
Older streets near US 31 are narrow; newer subdivisions west of I-65 are easy to reach, and the 2021 tornado zone still has active rebuilding lots.
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 Fultondale?
Older streets near US 31 are narrow; newer subdivisions west of I-65 are easy to reach, and the 2021 tornado zone still has active rebuilding lots. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
