Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 36701?

Yes, we deliver bulk aggregates, soil, and mulch throughout ZIP 36701 in Selma, Dallas County. We serve both homeowners and contractors in the area.

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Selma?

Crusher run is the most popular choice for driveways in this area. It compacts into a solid surface that withstands Alabama heat and heavy vehicles.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains stone dust and small fines that bind together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it stays loose and drains water instead of packing into a solid surface.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean 57 limestone is ideal for French drains and foundation backfill. It creates gaps for water to flow while keeping soil away from the foundation wall.

Can one project require more than one material?

Yes. A paver patio, for example, needs crusher run for the base layer and washed concrete sand for the setting bed. A driveway may use crusher run topped with a decorative gravel.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Crusher run gives a stable, compacted surface for vehicles. It locks together better than clean stone on slopes or soft ground.
Drainage: Use clean 57 limestone or rip rap around foundations and low spots. Fines in crusher run can clog drainage fabrics.
Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crusher run, then add washed concrete sand as a setting bed for pavers or flagstone.
Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil builds healthy beds for shrubs and flowers. Cedar mulch keeps weeds down and adds a finished look.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 36701 in Selma covers a mix of older neighborhoods near the city center and larger acreage properties toward the county line. The area’s clay-loam soil drains slowly after heavy rains, so base materials need to handle moisture without shifting.

Properties on the flatter river-adjacent sections often require extra drainage stone to prevent standing water. In contrast, the upland edges have better natural drainage but may need more base depth to support driveways over sandy subsoil.

Summers in Dallas County bring intense heat and occasional dry spells. Mulch and topsoil help retain moisture in landscape beds. For driveways, crusher run holds up better than materials that go dusty in drought.
