FAQ
Gravel Delivery & Excavating FAQ
How much does a load of gravel cost delivered in Central Alabama?
It depends on the material, the quantity and how far the truck travels from Calera. Because we load straight from the quarry and haul with our own trucks, our delivered prices are wholesale. Call (205) 506-5000 or send the quote form with your address and we will give you an exact delivered price.
What is the difference between gravel, crushed stone and crusher run?
Crushed stone (like #57 or ¾" stone) is angular rock screened to one size — it drains well. Crusher run (road base / DGA) mixes crushed stone with stone dust so it compacts into a hard base. Pea gravel is small and rounded — great for paths, not for driveway bases. See our gravel and crushed stone guides.
How much gravel do I need for my driveway?
Multiply length × width × depth (in feet) and divide by 27 for cubic yards; one cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons. A 60 × 12 ft driveway at 4" needs about 9 yd³ — about 13 tons. Our gravel calculator does the math for you and sends the result straight to your quote.
How many tons are in one truckload?
A full load on our dump trucks is up to about 18 tons — roughly 12–13 cubic yards of gravel. In Central Alabama we also deliver smaller loads for residential projects.
Do you deliver fill dirt and topsoil near me?
Yes. We deliver fill dirt, clay fill, screened topsoil and unscreened topsoil throughout Shelby, Jefferson, Chilton and Bibb counties, and we haul away excess dirt when a job has too much.
Do you work with homeowners or only contractors?
Both. Homeowners order from us every week — driveways, yards and garden beds. Contractors, landscapers and developers get the same honest pricing and can set up recurring deliveries.
Do you offer excavating and grading near me?
Yes — excavation, grading, land clearing, pad building, drainage and demolition cleanup across Central Alabama. We come out, look at the site and give you a straight quote. See excavating services.
How do I place an order?
