Why Fort Deposit Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fort Deposit is a small but steadily growing community of 2,010 residents. With a measured annual growth rate of 0.40%, construction and landscaping demand tends to rise gradually—favoring incremental home improvements, driveway repairs, and modest new builds rather than large, rapid development. The local climate and geography shape material needs: about 33.50 inches of rain annually, roughly 152 sunny days per year, and USDA hardiness zone 8b create a pattern of warm, long summers and periodic wet spells. That mix increases demand for reliable drainage aggregates, erosion-control soils and mulches, durable base materials for driveways and pads, and UV- and weather-resistant surface mixes. Homeowners and contractors in Fort Deposit benefit from access to consistent, locally sourced bulk materials that reduce rework and match regional performance expectations.Popular Projects in Fort Deposit This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Deposit Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fort Deposit.
Choose based on function, drainage, and appearance. For load-bearing areas pick a more compactible aggregate; for walkways or beds pick a finer, decorative option. Consider West Alabama weather (hot summers and heavy rain events) and use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation.
Measure the area in feet and the desired depth in inches, then use this formula: area (ft^2) x depth (in) / 324 to get cubic yards. Convert to tons using a range of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. You can also use our online calculator for an instant estimate.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and our haulers will confirm timing before dispatch. Exact arrival times are not guaranteed due to routing and local conditions.
Yes, but drivers will assess access on arrival and may require a safe turnaround or staging area. Narrow roads, low-hanging wires, culverts, or unstable shoulders can limit how close a truck can get; note any access issues and upload photos at checkout to help planning. Extra fees or alternate drop locations may apply for difficult access.
Some drivers can perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will evaluate safety and feasibility on site. For precise placement, prepare clear drop zones and mark obstacles before delivery.
Fort Deposit has hot, humid summers and a wetter season that can affect delivery and compaction. Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain or severe weather, and plan for drying or compaction time after delivery before heavy use or installation. For winter projects, check forecasts since freeze-thaw can affect grading and settling.
Materials are regionally sourced, so texture, coloration, and consistency will reflect local geology and can vary by batch. Photos are illustrative; we recommend adding color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and contacting customer service if the material seems significantly different. Small natural variations are normal and expected.
Pricing depends on material type, volume, delivery distance, and site access. Enter your zip code on our site to see local pricing and request an exact quote, or contact our sales team with project details for a tailored estimate. Remember to include any special access notes or requested services like spreading.
Sometimes. Small residential deliveries rarely need permits, but large drops that block roads, require a standing truck, or need flaggers may require local permits or coordination with county crews. Check with Fort Deposit city offices or Lowndes County for specific rules, and let us know if you think a permit may be needed before scheduling.
Common projects include driveways, patios and paver bases, garden beds, grading/fill, and erosion control. Small landscaping beds often need 1 to 3 tons, typical residential driveways and slabs can range from 10 to 30 tons, and larger jobs exceed 30 tons. Use our calculator or contact us with dimensions for a precise estimate.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to adjust quantities, materials, or delivery dates, but changes cannot always be guaranteed depending on supplier and truck scheduling. See checkout or contact customer service for next steps.
Take photos of the delivery, note any damage to property, and contact customer service promptly so we can investigate with the supplier and hauler. We will work to resolve the issue fairly and guide you through options per our policies. For urgent safety hazards, address those first and notify local authorities if needed.
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.
