Gravel in Anniston, AL

Prices vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but a full tri-axle dump truck (about 10-12 cubic yards) of common crushed gravel in Anniston typically runs in the low hundreds to under $1,000. Many deliveries in our service area include delivery in the per-yard price or a modest delivery fee; get a zip-code quote for an exact price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide local quotes and scheduled delivery windows.

Common gravel in Anniston usually ranges roughly from $30 to $70 per cubic yard depending on type (washed, crushed, #57, etc.) and local availability. Delivery is often included for standard orders inside service areas, but small orders or long hauls may incur delivery fees of about $50 to $200; check your zip code for exact pricing and next-day options.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. For a typical 4-inch compacted gravel base you would need about 5 cubic yards (roughly 7 tons); for a stronger 6-inch base you would need about 7.5 cubic yards (roughly 10.5 tons). Multiply your chosen cubic yards by your local per-yard price (for example, 5 yd x $45/yd = $225 material) and add any delivery or spreading fees from your Hello Gravel quote.

If your 40-foot driveway is a standard single-car width of 10 feet, that equals 400 sq ft and needs the same volumes as the 20x20 example: about 5 cubic yards for a 4-inch base and 7.5 cubic yards for a 6-inch base. If your driveway is wider, scale the quantities proportionally (cubic yards = square feet x depth in inches / 324), then multiply by local per-yard pricing and delivery fees for an accurate cost.

Two inches is only suitable as a thin surface dressing, not as a structural driveway base. In Anniston's climate and soils, we recommend a compacted crushed-stone base of 4 to 6 inches for passenger-vehicle driveways, plus 2 to 3 inches of top gravel for the driving surface, to ensure proper drainage and durability.

You should remove sod and topsoil, grade and compact the subgrade, and install geotextile fabric and a crushed-stone base for best results—especially in north Alabama where clay or seasonal wetness can cause settling and washouts. For small decorative patches, you can get away with minimal prep, but for driveways and heavy use areas, budget for excavation and base work to avoid frequent maintenance.

For most homeowners in Anniston needing several cubic yards, bulk delivery through a service like Hello Gravel is the most cost-effective and convenient option, especially with our 3-ton minimum and local suppliers. Small quantities or specialty bagged products (from Tractor Supply) cost more per ton; pickup can work if you have the vehicle and time, but hauling costs and manual labor add up.

A well-built gravel driveway with proper base and drainage can last 10 to 25 years, though surface material will need periodic refreshes. Budget for routine maintenance like regrading, filling ruts, and adding 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 3 to 7 years; expect occasional spot repairs after heavy rains or winter weather.

A 7x14 dump trailer holds roughly 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on side height and trailer design, which is about 6 to 10 tons of gravel. A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used for deliveries holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons). Confirm exact capacities with the rental or supplier before deciding; for most jobs over our 3-ton minimum, delivery is simpler and often cheaper than renting and hauling yourself.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which is about nine homeowner-style wheelbarrow loads if each holds 3 cubic feet, or about five loads with a larger 6-cubic-foot contractor wheelbarrow. To estimate spreading needs, calculate required cubic yards for your driveway (sq ft x depth inches / 324) and then divide by your wheelbarrow capacity to find how many trips it will take.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
