Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Walker County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Walker County is home to a growing community with a city population of 72,000 and part of a larger metro area of 4.6+ million residents. With a steady annual growth rate of 2.10%, demand for housing, driveways, patios, and drainage improvements is rising, driving the need for reliable aggregates. The local climate—hardiness zone 8a with about 218 sunny days annually and annual rainfall of 38.97 inches—means homeowners need materials that handle both sun exposure and occasional heavy rain. Gravel is a go-to choice because it improves drainage, reduces erosion on slopes, and creates stable surfaces for vehicular and foot traffic. For many Walker County projects, homeowners seek consistent gradation and local texture so finished paths and driveways blend with regional soil and stone. Gravel works well in Walker County’s mix of sun and rain: angular crushed gravel sheds water quickly, while rounded pea gravel is comfortable for walkways and patios. Because regional sourcing affects color and texture, choosing the right size and mix matters—3/4" crushed stone for driveways, 1/4" to 3/8" pea gravel for seating areas, and larger base rock under pavers. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers, offers clear pricing, and schedules deliveries (standard 2+ business days or next-day before noon CST) so you get the right material on the right day with minimal hassle.Popular Projects in Walker County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Walker County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Walker County.
Delivered gravel prices in Walker County vary by type and distance. Typical delivered ranges you can expect: crushed limestone $20-$45 per ton, pea gravel $35-$60 per ton, road base $18-$40 per ton, and crushed concrete $15-$45 per ton; per cubic yard these usually translate to roughly $25-$65 per cubic yard depending on product and moisture (1 cubic yard is about 1.2-1.4 tons). Final price depends on exact material, haul distance, truck size, and job access; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows delivered pricing in checkout.
Locally the most common choices are crushed limestone and road base for a durable, compacted base, crushed concrete as a cost-effective recycled option, and 57 stone or 3/4" crushed stone as a wearing surface. Pea gravel is used for appearance and walkways but is less stable for heavy vehicle traffic unless installed over a solid base. Choose material based on traffic load, drainage needs, and local availability.
Walker County is served by regional quarries, landscape supply yards, and recycled aggregate yards; Hello Gravel connects you directly with the local suppliers and contracted haulers in the Huntsville area. For specific company names, pricing, and availability for your zip code, use our site or contact our team and we will match you with nearby suppliers.
For most residential driveways in Walker County, install a compacted subbase of 4-6 inches for light traffic and 6-8 inches for heavier trucks, topped by a 2-3 inch wearing layer of crushed stone. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller to achieve firm, stable material; adding a geotextile fabric helps prevent mixing with soft or clayey soils common in the region. Proper compaction and a crowned profile for runoff are more important than simply adding more gravel.
Walker County gets hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rain, so good drainage is critical to prevent rutting and washouts. Use angular crushed stone or road base that compacts and sheds water, build a crown and side swales, and avoid fine pea gravel where standing water is likely. If you have clay or slow-draining soils, consider geotextile fabric and a thicker crushed base to improve stability.
Installation costs depend on grading, base depth, material choice, and access; expect roughly $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot for a standard install that includes base prep, hauling, spreading, and compaction. That equates to about $1,500–$3,500 for 1,000 sq ft and $3,000–$7,000 for 2,000 sq ft as a general range. More difficult sites, steeper driveways, or higher-end stone will push costs to the upper end of that range.
Permit rules vary: unincorporated Walker County often has fewer requirements, but within Huntsville city limits or certain subdivisions you may need a permit or have design rules. Many HOAs have covenants about surface materials, color, and edge treatments. Check with the Walker County permitting office, the City of Huntsville planning department, and any HOA before ordering material.
Most homeowners add fresh gravel or top-dress 1-2 inches every 2-5 years depending on traffic and rainfall; higher-traffic driveways may need more frequent touch-ups. Local contractors and landscape suppliers commonly offer grading, re-spreading, compaction, hauling in fresh stone, and periodic re-grading to restore crown and remove ruts.
Both crushed asphalt and crushed concrete can be cost-effective alternatives: crushed asphalt binds down and compacts well, while crushed concrete is durable and often cheaper than new stone. Availability, price, and drainage needs will determine the best choice; crushed asphalt can soften in extreme heat and both recycled materials may contain fines that affect drainage and dust. Check local suppliers and test a small area or seek contractor advice before committing.
Deliveries in Walker County commonly arrive by tri-axle dump truck; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and works with local haulers to schedule deliveries. Drivers can dump in your driveway or requested location, and some will offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; additional services like mechanical spreading, compaction, or hand-placement may be offered by local contractors for an added fee. Standard delivery windows are generally 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Measure the area in square feet and decide desired depth in inches, then use this formula: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards required. To convert cubic yards to tons for ordering, multiply cubic yards by about 1.2–1.4 (varies by material and moisture). Use Hello Gravel’s online calculator or contact our team to confirm quantities and minimum order requirements.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
