Gravel in Albertville, AL

Delivered prices vary by material, supplier, and distance, but in Albertville a delivered ton of common crushed gravel typically ranges from about $40 to $75 per ton. A single tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 10 to 12 tons) therefore often runs in the $400 to $900 range delivered. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers transparent pricing at checkout, so check your zip code for exact local rates.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards and will cover about 116 sq ft at 2 inches depth or about 77 sq ft at 3 inches. Use 2 inches for light walking surfaces and 3 to 4 inches for driveways, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons for delivery to Albertville. For accurate needs enter your dimensions into our material calculator.

For most projects in Albertville, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective option when you need several hundred square feet or more because the per-ton price is lower than bagged material. Bagged gravel is convenient for tiny projects or retail locations but is much more expensive per volume. Local pickup can save delivery fees if you have an appropriate vehicle and meet the supplier's minimums, but Hello Gravel's platform makes bulk delivery easy and often competitive.

You can lay gravel directly over dirt for a temporary, low-traffic surface, but for a durable driveway in Albertville's climate we recommend base preparation: remove soft organic soil, add a compacted sub-base (crusher-run or road base), install geotextile fabric where drainage is an issue, and compact each layer. Proper prep prevents rutting and washout during heavy Alabama rains and reduces future maintenance. Ask for spreading notes at checkout; drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion.

Costs depend on the driveway width and desired depth; for a typical 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth you need about 3 tons (our minimum). Material plus delivery for that small job in Albertville usually runs in the low hundreds of dollars, roughly $150 to $350 depending on stone type and supplier.

Two inches is usually too thin for a long-term vehicle driveway in West Alabama; it can work for walkways or decorative areas. For driveways expect to order at least 3 to 4 inches for light passenger cars and 4 to 6 inches if you have frequent heavy vehicles or poor subgrade. Good base preparation and drainage are more important than depth alone for long-term performance.

A common example: a 40 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth needs about 4.94 cubic yards, which is roughly 7 tons. Hello Gravel's minimum 3-ton delivery covers smaller jobs, and delivery cost in Albertville can be free in many cases or a modest fee depending on supplier distance and schedule; typical local delivery fees range from $0 to $150.

With proper base prep, drainage, and periodic maintenance (grading and adding 1 to 2 inches every few years), a gravel driveway in Albertville can perform well for many years, though individual lifespans vary by use and weather. Heavy rainfall, poor compaction, and clay subsoils increase maintenance needs and shorten intervals between replenishment. Many local suppliers, including those in Hello Gravel's network, can deliver additional material for maintenance or replenishment as needed.

For driveways around Albertville, crushed stone such as 3/4" crushed stone or #57 crushed stone is a common choice for surface stability, while crusher-run (a mix of fines and crushed stone) is good for a compacted base. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive but tend to move under vehicle traffic and are better for decorative areas or walkways. Consider a layered approach: compacted crusher-run base with a 3/4" or #57 topcoat for best durability in West Alabama conditions.

A 50 lb bag of gravel contains roughly 0.018 cubic yards and will cover only about 2 to 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth, so bagged material is practical for small accent areas. For anything larger than a handful of spots, ordering by the yard or ton via bulk delivery is much more economical and faster to install. Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons, which is usually the better value for driveways and larger landscaping projects.

Check material photos and note local variation since West Alabama suppliers may use limestone, granite, or river stone depending on nearby quarries. Choose your delivery date at checkout, request tailgate spreading if needed (driver discretion), and contact Hello Gravel early if you need to change or cancel—changes are easier before dispatch.
