Gravel and stone delivery in Mountain Brook, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Crestline, English Village, Mountain Brook Village and the rest of Mountain Brook.
Stone orders in Mountain Brook 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 Crestline too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Mountain Brook
Mountain Brook was laid out across the wooded south slope of Red Mountain and the ravines that drain to Shades Creek and, on the east side, the Cahaba River. Lots are steep and heavily treed with thin, rocky soil on the ridges and red clay with shale in the hollows; Shades Creek and Watkins Brook bottoms in Mountain Brook Village and Crestline are flood-prone. Cherokee Bend and Overton sit on rolling ground toward the Cahaba with better-drained but still clay-heavy soil. Older estates frequently need fill for eroded slopes, failed terraces and drainage swales.
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
Winding, narrow residential streets without curbs, low tree canopy and long private driveways limit truck size; some properties have gated drives and most have little room to stage a pile off the street.
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 Mountain Brook?
Winding, narrow residential streets without curbs, low tree canopy and long private driveways limit truck size; some properties have gated drives and most have little room to stage a pile off the street.
