Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Harvest, AL

Homeowners in Harvest commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, raised beds, and grading. These materials cover tasks like base layers, drainage, top dressing, and landscape accents, so most projects use more than one type to get the desired function and appearance.

Start by defining the project goal (drainage, durable driving surface, planting soil, or decorative topcoat) and the required properties (drainage, compaction, or appearance). For most projects you’ll combine materials — for example a compactable base with a decorative top layer — and our material quiz and calculator can help match gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to your needs.

Harvest has hot, humid summers and mild winters with occasional freezes, which affects settling, vegetation growth, and surface drainage. Choose materials that resist washout and rutting in heavy rain, allow good drainage on slopes, and tolerate seasonal expansion and contraction; using a stable base layer under decorative material helps longevity.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide the desired depth, then use this formula: (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards needed. Convert cubic yards to tons if needed using our online calculator, and remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is typically 3 tons, so plan for overage or an extra use for leftovers.

Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (commonly tri-axle), regional sourcing means material appearance may vary, and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout.

Many drivers offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. If you need precise spreading, grading, or compaction, plan to hire a landscaper or contractor — delivery provides material to the drop point while placement services vary by supplier and truck crew.

You should check with Harvest city offices and your HOA before delivery if your drop will block streets, require temporary parking changes, or involve heavy trucks on private roads. Local rules on curbside drops, driveway access, and protection of public property can vary, so get approvals and note any permit requirements before delivery day.

Schedule deliveries during the milder parts of the year when possible, and avoid known rainy periods or days with heavy storms in the forecast to reduce risk of washouts and access issues. Contractors often schedule major deliveries for weekday mornings so there is time to address issues the same day.

On slopes, prioritize permeability and stabilization: use well-graded base material, consider geotextile fabric, and create terraces, swales, or retaining features to slow and direct runoff. Choosing material that resists migration and pairing it with proper grading will reduce erosion and protect plantings and hardscapes.

Policies vary by supplier; contact Hello Gravel or the local supplier as soon as possible to discuss options — some accept small returns, others offer credit or charge a removal fee. To avoid large leftovers, use our calculator and order planning tips, or arrange a second delivery if you need more material rather than ordering a large excess.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
