Gravel and stone delivery in Hueytown, AL

Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Dolomite, Pleasant Ridge, Virginia Estates and the rest of Hueytown.

Stone orders in Hueytown 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 Dolomite too.

Gravel and stone jobs in Hueytown

Hueytown sits on the coal-bearing sandstone and shale hills of western Jefferson County; several subdivisions, including Virginia Estates and Edenwood, were built on former coal mining land, so old spoil and settling ground are likely. Red clay with rock close to the surface covers the ridges, and Valley Creek and smaller branches hold water in the low areas. Tornado damage in 1998 and 2011 left rebuilt lots with disturbed, uneven grading.

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

Mostly 1950s to 1980s neighborhoods with moderate street widths; some ridge lots have steep driveways and the Concord side has rural roads with gravel drives.

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 Hueytown?

Mostly 1950s to 1980s neighborhoods with moderate street widths; some ridge lots have steep driveways and the Concord side has rural roads with gravel drives. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
