Gravel and stone delivery in McCalla, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Tannehill, Eastern Valley Road corridor, Old Tuscaloosa Highway and the rest of McCalla.
Stone orders in McCalla 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 Tannehill too.
Gravel and stone jobs in McCalla
McCalla is unincorporated rolling country at the southwestern tail of the Appalachians, where the Cahaba coal field and the Valley and Ridge give way to lower hills. Soils are red clay and sandy clay over sandstone and shale, with chert on the ridges, and Mud Creek, Mill Creek and the headwaters near Tannehill drain low, wet bottoms. Large new subdivisions near I-459 and I-20/59 are built on cleared timberland and graded clay, while older acreage lots are on undisturbed ground; old coal and iron workings are likely in places.
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 rural: long gravel or dirt driveways, acreage lots and county roads, plus a few large new HOA subdivisions near the interstates.
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 McCalla?
Mostly rural: long gravel or dirt driveways, acreage lots and county roads, plus a few large new HOA subdivisions near the interstates. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
