Gravel and stone delivery in Trussville, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Cahaba Project, Stockton, Carrington Lakes and the rest of Trussville.
Stone orders in Trussville 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 Cahaba Project too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Trussville
Trussville sits in the upper Cahaba River valley where the river is still a creek-sized stream, flanked by chert and sandstone ridges. The valley floor near downtown and the Cahaba Project is low and floods along the Cahaba and Pinchgut Creek, while newer subdivisions off Deerfoot Parkway and Highway 11 were cut into hillsides with red clay and chert that erodes quickly once cleared. Bedrock is limestone and dolomite in the valley and sandstone on the ridges, so rock is often shallow on the higher lots.
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
Newer subdivisions are HOA-managed with narrow streets and tight cul-de-sacs; older Cahaba Project lots have alleys and mature trees, and outlying St. Clair County addresses often have long 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 Trussville?
Newer subdivisions are HOA-managed with narrow streets and tight cul-de-sacs; older Cahaba Project lots have alleys and mature trees, and outlying St. Clair County addresses often have long gravel drives. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
