Match the Material to the Job

Crusher run contains a mix of crushed stone, gravel, and fines that can compact into a firm base for appropriate driveway, pad, and path projects. #57 stone is a clean, versatile option commonly considered for drainage and gravel applications. Pea gravel has a smaller, rounded appearance that works well for decorative areas and certain paths or side-yard projects.

River rock adds color, texture, and weight around drainage areas, dry creek beds, borders, and landscape accents. Larger stone and rip rap are better suited to projects that need more mass, such as slopes, washout areas, and erosion-control features. Site preparation and drainage conditions matter, so ask a qualified contractor when the project involves structural drainage or significant grading.

Planning Quantity, Pickup, and Delivery

Measure the square footage and intended depth of each area before ordering. For paths and lighter landscape applications, depth requirements differ from driveways or compacted bases. Use our bulk material calculator for an initial cubic-yard estimate, then account for compaction, grade, waste, and project-specific base preparation.

Customers can pick up available rock and gravel from our Alabaster yard. Bring a suitable truck or trailer and call ahead to confirm availability and loading details. Local delivery is available by distance and schedule. Review the delivery area and current rates before calling.

Rock and Gravel Questions

What is the difference between crusher run and #57 stone?

Crusher run includes fines that help it compact, while #57 stone is a cleaner, more open-graded stone. The correct choice depends on the base, drainage needs, finish, and expected traffic.

Which rock is best for drainage?

The answer depends on water volume, slope, soil, outlet, and system design. Several stones may be appropriate, but drainage problems should be evaluated as a complete system.
