Gravel in Jasper, AL

Delivered gravel prices in Jasper usually vary by material type and delivery distance; expect an estimated range of about $25 to $65 per ton for common gravels (pea, crushed stone, limestone) including local delivery. Heavier specialty aggregates or small runs can cost more; exact pricing depends on type, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and truck access. For an accurate number, get a quote for your zip code and desired material on our site.

Common choices around Jasper include crushed limestone (good for driveways and compaction), 3/8" pea gravel (decorative, good for walkways and patios), and 3/4"-1" crushed stone (driveway surface and base). Limestone and crushed stone lock together and compact well on local clay soils, while pea gravel looks nicer but moves more under vehicle traffic. Choose crushed stone for driveways and pea gravel for low-traffic decorative areas.

Use the driveway size, desired depth, and gravel density to estimate tons: one cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons. Typical estimates: single-car driveway (10 ft x 50 ft) at 3" depth needs about 6-8 tons; double-car (20 ft x 50 ft) at 3" needs about 12-16 tons; a 20 ft x 40 ft area at 3" needs about 10-12 tons. Increase depth to 4" for heavier traffic or poor subgrade, which raises tonnage by roughly one-third.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that commonly require a 3-ton minimum for delivery, which aligns with our platform minimum. Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and standard deliveries are scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.

Jasper's clay-rich soils hold water and can become soft after heavy West Alabama rains, which increases the risk of rutting and washouts if the gravel depth and base are insufficient. To improve longevity, install a compacted crushed-stone base (4" or more) and use angular stone on top for interlock, and consider geotextile fabric to separate the clay subgrade from the gravel. Provide good edge restraints and design drainage (swales or culverts) to direct runoff away from the driveway.

Most Jasper homeowners should do light maintenance once a year and add a top dressing of 1/2"-1" of fresh gravel every 1-3 years depending on traffic and rainfall. Annual costs vary by size and whether you DIY or hire help; homeowners typically spend $50-$300 per year for periodic raking and a modest top-up, while professional grading or larger replenishments run higher. Getting material and labor quotes for your driveway size will give the best estimate.

Contractor rates in the Jasper area vary, but expect a range of about $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot for spreading and compacting depending on site access, project complexity, and whether base preparation is included. Some contractors charge by the hour ($40-$90/hour) or by the ton installed ($20-$50/ton installed) for full service. Always get multiple local quotes and confirm whether grading, fabric, and edge work are included.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by property. Many single-family residential driveways in Jasper do not require a city permit, but historic districts, commercial properties, or properties in HOAs may have rules about surface materials, setbacks, and drainage. Check Jasper City planning or your HOA covenants before ordering materials to avoid rework or compliance issues.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and excellent drainage but higher ongoing maintenance (periodic grading and top-ups). Asphalt and concrete cost more to install in Jasper but require less frequent surface maintenance; however, they reduce permeability and may require more stormwater management. Choose gravel for budget-friendly, permeable surfaces and easy repairs; choose asphalt or concrete for a smoother, low-maintenance finished surface if budget allows.

For sloped lots, use angular crushed stone (such as 3/4" minus or 57 stone) with some fines for interlock, and consider installing geotextile fabric and compacted terraces or check dams to slow runoff. Add edge restraints and if the slope is steep, use larger rock at the toe and ditch outlets to reduce erosion. Native vegetation, retaining walls, or riprap at concentrated flow points helps protect the gravel and surrounding soil during West Alabama storms.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
