Gravel and stone delivery in Pinson, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Palmerdale, Turkey Creek Nature Preserve, Pinson Valley Parkway and the rest of Pinson.
Stone orders in Pinson 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 Palmerdale too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Pinson
Pinson lies among parallel southwest-northeast ridges with rock outcrops along the east-facing crests, and valleys floored by limestone and dolomite (the Ketona dolomite that is quarried toward Tarrant) under red clay and chert. Turkey Creek runs through town and floods its bottomland after heavy rain, and smaller branches keep low lots wet. Older lots in Pinson Valley have settled yards; newer subdivisions on the ridges have thin soil over rock and erosion on cut slopes.
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
Pinson Valley Parkway and the main subdivisions are easy for trucks, but many lots are on hilly county roads with long gravel drives and limited turnaround.
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 Pinson?
Pinson Valley Parkway and the main subdivisions are easy for trucks, but many lots are on hilly county roads with long gravel drives and limited turnaround. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
