Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Alpine, AL

Start with the project goal: durability for driveways, good drainage for walkways, and appearance for patios. Consider how the material compacts, how it handles water, and the overall look you want; regional options vary, so think in terms of gravel, sand, dirt, stone as groups rather than a single brand. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your use and budget.

Alpine is in West Alabama, where summers are warm and rainfall can be heavy, so pick materials that drain well and resist washout. Consider slope, soil type, and how often the area gets wet or receives traffic. Regional sourcing means textures and color may vary, so request notes at checkout if color matters.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide how deep the material should be, then use our online calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. A typical guide is 2 to 4 inches for decorative beds and 4 to 6 inches for driveways, but depths vary by project. Contact our sales team with your dimensions if you want help validating the amount.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. We connect you with local suppliers and contracted haulers; you will receive a delivery window and driver contact when the load is dispatched. Note that exact timing can vary with local traffic, weather, and supplier schedules.

Clear vehicles and obstructions from the drop area, mark utilities if the truck will approach your yard, and provide a stable access path for the dump truck. Confirm the preferred drop spot in the order notes and ensure there is enough turning room for a tri-axle truck. If heavy rain or soft ground is expected, consider arranging a firmer access surface or adjusting the delivery date.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. For larger or precise spreading needs, plan for additional labor or equipment.

Materials are sourced locally, so texture, color, and particle shape can reflect West Alabama geology and may differ from photos. The material will meet general specifications for its type, but natural variation is normal. If color or texture is important, note your preference at checkout and contact customer service with questions before ordering.

Many residential projects do not require permits for receiving materials, but driveways, drainage changes, or large landscaping projects may trigger local permits or HOA rules. Check with your city or homeowners association before ordering if you are unsure. We recommend confirming any permit or HOA requirements early to avoid delays.

Costs depend on material type, quantity, and delivery distance; our site shows transparent pricing once you enter your zip code. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and next-day delivery or special services may add fees. For an accurate estimate, use the checkout or request a quote from our team.

Common projects include resurfacing driveways, building walkways or patios, topping garden beds, correcting drainage swales, and backfilling small excavations. Both DIY homeowners and contractors use bulk deliveries for property maintenance and landscaping upgrades. If you have a specific project, we can suggest suitable material types and quantities.

Warm, humid summers and periodic heavy rain mean materials that drain well are often preferred and deliveries may be affected by wet site conditions. Schedule deliveries to avoid forecasted storms and allow drying time after heavy rain before spreading materials. If ground conditions are soft, drivers may have limited access, so plan accordingly.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before the supplier starts processing the load. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee changes once the hauler is dispatched. Review your order details at confirmation and reach out promptly for modifications.

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.
