Gravel in Jacksonville, AL

Delivered gravel cost in Jacksonville varies by material type, amount, and supplier distance. As a rough range, many homeowners in West Alabama see delivered prices around $20 to $60 per ton depending on whether you choose pea gravel, crushed stone, or crusher-run; larger orders usually lower per-ton cost. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your zip code at checkout, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days (next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee).

For most Jacksonville driveways, #57 crushed stone or crusher-run (dense grade aggregate) are the best choices: crusher-run compacts well for a stable base, and #57 provides a durable, drainable wearing surface. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts and tracks more, so it is better for low-traffic, decorative drives rather than primary vehicle access. Local suppliers may use slightly different names or sizes, so check photos and ask about compaction and angular vs round stone when ordering.

A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. For common depths: 3 inches (resurfacing) needs about 11.1 cubic yards or roughly 15.6 tons; 4 inches needs about 14.8 cubic yards or roughly 20.7 tons; and 6 inches (deeper base) needs about 22.2 cubic yards or roughly 31.1 tons. Hello Gravel has a material calculator to confirm amounts for your project and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Gravel performs well in Jacksonville’s hot, humid summers and seasonal heavy rain when installed with proper base and drainage. Use a compacted crusher-run base, crown the driveway slightly for runoff, and add at least one inch of #57 or similar surface stone; this reduces rutting and washout. Regular maintenance after storms—raking, regrading low spots, and adding stone as needed—helps longevity.

Gravel is typically less expensive up front than asphalt and quicker to install, making it attractive in West Alabama where materials are locally sourced. Gravel requires periodic maintenance—grading and topping up every 1 to 3 years—while asphalt has higher initial cost but lower routine upkeep and a different long-term life cycle. Consider traffic level, budget, and desire for low-maintenance surface when choosing between the two.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers near Jacksonville, AL so you can buy bulk gravel online and schedule delivery. Many local quarries and landscape suppliers in West Alabama deliver by dump truck; Hello Gravel handles coordination, delivery scheduling, and upfront pricing. Check availability for your zip code on our site and remember delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck and may include tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion.

With proper base preparation and drainage, a well-built gravel driveway in the Jacksonville area can last 10 to 20 years as a usable surface, though it will need periodic refreshes. Expect to regrade and add fresh surface stone every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather, and more extensive rehab (rebuilding base) every 8 to 15 years. Seasonal checks after heavy rains and filling ruts promptly will extend the driveway’s life.

For drainage and French drains around Jacksonville, clean washed crushed stone (commonly 3/4-inch or #57) is preferred because it provides void space for water flow and resists clogging. Use washed stone rather than fine, sandy mixes, and wrap the stone in geotextile (filter) fabric to keep soil out of the drain stone. Avoid pea gravel for main drainage runs because its small rounded stones can compact and allow silt migration over time.

Contractor pricing in West Alabama varies by site prep, access, material, and size; many contractors will quote either per ton for material plus a spreading/compaction fee or per square foot for a full install. As a practical step, get multiple quotes that include site prep (grading, base, compaction), material price, delivery, and labor; Hello Gravel can supply delivered material pricing to share with contractors. Local rates change with demand and season, so ask contractors for written estimates before you commit.

City permit rules vary and many simple residential driveways do not require a building permit, but local zoning or historic districts may have rules, and your HOA may require approval or specific surface materials. Check Jacksonville municipal code or contact your HOA before starting work; for larger projects, contractors usually handle permitting and inspections if required. When in doubt, contact local building/zoning offices or ask your contractor to confirm permit needs.

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