Projects and the Right Gravel or Rock for Each

Here are five common jobs in Ashville and which product works best.

Local Conditions in Ashville and St. Clair County

Ashville sees about 80 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. About 60 days a year drop below 32F, which can move the ground and affect how a gravel layer settles.

Soils mapped in the Ashville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Because of that, you may need more base stone under the surface layer to manage water. The ground around Ashville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage planning and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere. Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be.

St. Clair County permitted about 543 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that indicates ongoing demand for gravel and rock for driveways, paths and drainage.

How Many Tons of Gravel or Rock You Need

Estimating tonnage starts with the square footage of the area and the depth you need. Multiply length times width times depth in feet, then divide by the volume a ton covers at that depth. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a quick tonnage estimate for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tons of gravel and rock do I need for my project?

The tonnage depends on the area and depth you plan to cover. Because soils in the Ashville area are poorly drained, you may need a thicker base of crusher run or similar stone, which increases the tonnage. Use the material calculators on the site to get a close estimate.

How much does gravel and rock delivery cost in Ashville?

Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity ordered. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders. The exact price is shown before you confirm the order, and you can use the FIRSTTIMER50 code for $50 off your first load.

How is gravel and rock measured and sold?

All gravel and rock from Gravel Monkey is sold by the ton. A ton of material covers a certain square footage at a chosen depth. The product tables and calculator on the site show coverage for each product.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If no one is present, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply, and the order is not refunded. The driver also needs a clear path and a road width of at least 12 feet.
