Buy Crushed Gravel in Alabama

Contractors often order crushed gravel in full truckloads for base layers and access roads. Homeowners usually need a few tons for driveways, paths, or shed pads. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel by the ton to any address in Alabama.

On a large commercial site or a small residential project, the same crushed gravel sizes apply. The difference is in the volume and the delivery logistics. Gravel Monkey handles both.

Crushed Gravel Sizes Delivered in Alabama

Crushed gravel in Alabama comes in sizes from fine 3/8 inch to heavy 2-3 inch. Each size serves a different part of the build. The 3/8 inch works as a fine compacting layer for paths. The 3/4 inch is the workhorse size for bases and driveways. For structural loads under heavy traffic, use the 1 to 1.5 inch. Soft ground requires a 1.5 inch first lift, and the 2-3 inch handles mud control and deep fill.

Which Crushed Gravel to Order for Your Project

Crushed gravel solves common problems on a job site. The right size and depth make the difference. For trench backfill, you need a size that drains and compacts. For access roads, you want a base that holds under traffic. Each project has a typical order.

Alabama Weather and Soil for Crushed Gravel Projects

Alabama gets between 56 and 68 inches of rain a year across the cities we deliver to. That much water means crushed gravel bases need good drainage and proper compaction to stay stable. Freezing days range from about 25 to 70 days below 32F per year, depending on location. The freeze-thaw cycle in northern parts can affect base layers, so deeper gravel may help in those areas.

Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, meaning frost heave is rarely an issue. The most common soil hydrologic groups in served cities are B and C. These soils have moderate to slow infiltration, so base depth guidance often calls for 4 to 6 inches of crushed gravel for load support. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

In the southern half, warmer temperatures and lower freeze risk allow year-round gravel work. Northern areas may have a shorter window due to occasional hard freezes, but the overall season is long.

Estimating Your Crushed Gravel Needs
