Gravel and stone delivery in Pell City, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Cropwell, Eden, Seddon and the rest of Pell City.
Stone orders in Pell City 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 Cropwell too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Pell City
Pell City sits on the Coosa River where it was dammed to form Logan Martin Lake in 1964, so a large share of properties are lakefront or near-lake lots with soft, eroding shoreline soil and steep banks. Away from the water the land is rolling red clay over shale and limestone with chert ridges to the north. Lake-level fluctuations and heavy rain leave low lots saturated, and many waterfront homes need fill for seawall backfill, eroded banks and sunken yards.
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
Lake roads around Cropwell and Logan Martin are narrow with tight, steep driveways to the water; in-town lots and newer subdivisions off US 231 are straightforward.
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 Pell City?
Lake roads around Cropwell and Logan Martin are narrow with tight, steep driveways to the water; in-town lots and newer subdivisions off US 231 are straightforward. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
