Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Geraldine, AL

Homeowners in Geraldine commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, garden beds, and drainage projects. These materials are chosen for their function—stabilizing surfaces, improving drainage, building up grades, or finishing a landscape—and local suppliers will often offer regional variations in color and texture. If you are unsure which group of materials suits your project, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.

Geraldine's West Alabama climate has hot, humid summers and mild winters with occasional freezes, and local soils often include clay that can hold water. Choose materials that help manage drainage and resist rutting in wet conditions—for example, products that compact well or promote runoff. Always consider local soil conditions during planning and consult our team to match materials to your site's needs.

Exact needs depend on area, depth, and material density, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. As rough examples, small pathways or patio bases often start around a few tons, a single-car driveway often ranges from about 10 to 20 tons, and larger driveways can be 20 tons or more. Use our online material calculator or contact sales with project dimensions for a precise estimate.

Costs vary by material, quantity, local supply, and distance from supplier. Typical ranges for homeowners can be modest for small jobs and rise with larger projects; many smaller residential deliveries fall between about $150 and $1,500 total, while per-ton material prices commonly vary based on type and local availability. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing at checkout, and delivery fees depend on your zip code and chosen delivery option.

Deliveries are normally made by tri-axle dump trucks and require reasonable access, a safe rollover area for dumping, and clearances free of low wires or overhangs. Narrow roads, posted weight limits, steep driveways, or tight turns may restrict truck access; if access is limited, note details at checkout and our team will advise. Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.

Spring and fall are often the best seasons for installation in Geraldine because soils are easier to work and extreme heat or heavy summer rains are less likely to interfere. Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain or when ground is soggy, since trucks can cause ruts and materials may not compact properly. Plan ahead—standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST if you need faster timing.

Match the material to the project's purpose: prioritize drainage and load-bearing materials for driveways, fine materials for bedding and leveling, and topsoil mixes for planting areas. Consider maintenance, appearance, and budget—some materials require periodic replenishing or grading. If you are unsure, use our material calculator and contact our team for a recommendation based on your project goals.

Many residents use local quarries, landscape suppliers, or online marketplaces like Hello Gravel that connect to vetted local suppliers and haulers. Hello Gravel handles sourcing and scheduling for your zip code (35974) and surrounding areas, which often simplifies ordering and delivery compared with coordinating pickups yourself. Always check availability for your exact address and ask about regional material variations.

Permit requirements and HOA rules vary, so check with the Town of Geraldine, Jackson County, or your HOA before starting major work. Small repairs or simple additions may not need a permit, but changes that affect drainage, the public right-of-way, or curb cuts often do. If you're unsure, contact local officials or your HOA and plan to confirm any permit needs before ordering materials.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, debris, and low branches, and mark any underground utilities or sensitive areas to avoid damage. Provide clear delivery notes and photos at checkout if access is tight, and make sure the driver has space to maneuver and dump safely. If you need spreading help, request tailgate service at checkout and be aware drivers decide on-site whether it is safe to perform.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
