Gravel and stone delivery in Homewood, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Edgewood, Hollywood, Rosedale and the rest of Homewood.
Stone orders in Homewood 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 Edgewood too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Homewood
Homewood fills the floor of Shades Valley between Red Mountain and Shades Mountain. Shades Creek runs the length of the city along Lakeshore Drive and floods regularly, so low lots in Edgewood and West Homewood have saturated clay and poor drainage. The valley is underlain by shale and limestone with red clay residuum; lots on the north side climb the back of Red Mountain and lots on the south side rise toward Shades Mountain. Housing is mostly 1920s to 1960s, so settled foundations, low crawlspaces and old grading that drains toward the house are common.
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 lots, narrow streets and heavy on-street parking in Edgewood and Rosedale make full-size dump trucks hard to position; many driveways are short and shared, so expect curbside or street drops.
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 Homewood?
Small lots, narrow streets and heavy on-street parking in Edgewood and Rosedale make full-size dump trucks hard to position; many driveways are short and shared, so expect curbside or street drops. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
