Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Millry, AL

It depends on use and drainage needs. For most residential driveways choose a stable, compactable surface and a solid base; common options include gravel, sand, dirt, and stone sourced locally. In West Alabama you should prioritize materials that shed water and resist rutting during heavy rain. For a typical driveway plan on 3–6 inches of surface material over a 6–8 inch compacted base.

Delivery cost varies with material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and delivery speed. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout and requires a 3-ton minimum; many areas offer free standard delivery but next-day or long-haul deliveries may add fees. The fastest way to get an accurate cost is to enter your zip code (36558) on our site or request a quote.

Choose materials that handle frequent rain and local freeze/thaw cycles and that match your project's drainage needs. Materials like compactable stone mixes and well-draining aggregates work well for paths and driveways, while coarser materials help with erosion control. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, expect texture and color variations that reflect local geology.

Aim for the drier parts of the year to make compaction and grading easier; in West Alabama avoid periods of heavy summer storms when possible. Spring and fall often provide good conditions for installation and settling. If you need a specific date, use our checkout calendar and consider next-day delivery only for orders placed before noon CST.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer; choice depends on the job. For drainage, stabilization, and driveways choose coarser, angular aggregates; for leveling, bedding, or pavers finer materials or sand mixes are often better. Consider the project's function—drainage, compaction, or aesthetics—then select from gravel, sand, dirt, stone accordingly or ask our team for guidance.

Tonnage depends on depth and material density, but a simple rule of thumb is useful: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 inches depth, and a cubic yard of many aggregates weighs roughly 1.2–1.5 tons. That means a 12' x 40' driveway (480 sq ft) will need roughly 6–8 tons for a 3–4 inch surface layer, not including a compacted base. Use our online material calculator for a precise estimate based on your material choice and depth.

Budget depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and any extra services like tailgate spreading.

Local regulations and HOA rules can affect the type, color, and coverage of materials you can use, especially for driveways and visible landscaping. Check your county or township requirements and any HOA guidelines before ordering materials. If you need documentation for permits, our team can help identify material descriptions commonly used in permit applications.

Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For planned spreading, consider hiring a local landscaper or requesting professional spreading when scheduling delivery.
