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.
