Gravel and stone delivery in Vestavia Hills, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Liberty Park, Cahaba Heights, Rocky Ridge and the rest of Vestavia Hills.
Stone orders in Vestavia Hills 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 Liberty Park too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Vestavia Hills
The original city runs along the spine of Shades Mountain on US 31, so most older lots are steep sandstone hillsides with shallow, rocky soil and fast runoff. Cahaba Heights and Liberty Park sit lower in the Cahaba River valley on shale and red clay, with floodplain ground near the river and Little Shades Creek. Retaining walls, terraced backyards and washed-out slopes are the typical reasons fill is needed here.
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
Mountain streets are narrow and curvy with steep driveways, and Liberty Park is a large HOA community with restrictions on contractor traffic and staging; plan for small-load drops on hillside lots.
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.
