Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Andalusia, AL

Homeowners in Andalusia often choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. For driveways they pick aggregates that balance durability and drainage, while landscaping projects favor decorative mixes for color and texture. Regional sourcing means appearance and texture can vary, so consider samples or photos before ordering.

In Andalusia's hot, humid climate pick materials that drain well and resist washout to avoid standing water and rutting. Materials that compact and form a stable base perform better under frequent summer storms, and porous options help limit mold and erosion in landscape beds. Consider surface appearance and maintenance needs because UV and moisture can change color and settle materials over time.

Soils in the area can include clay that holds water, so projects on poor-draining sites usually need a coarser base layer and extra depth to promote runoff. Adding a geotextile fabric or increasing aggregate thickness can reduce mixing with native soil and improve stability. Always evaluate grading and drainage before ordering so you buy the right volume and type for long-term performance.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after placing an order, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You select a preferred delivery date during checkout and our team confirms timing; rural areas around Andalusia may need more scheduling time. Drivers work with contracted haulers and will provide arrival details but exact windows can vary.

Delivery fees depend on material type, quantity, and distance from local suppliers to your address in or around Andalusia. Hello Gravel offers transparent pricing and many areas qualify for free delivery, but remote or very small orders may incur extra charges; our minimum order is 3 tons. Enter your zip code at checkout for a tailored quote that includes any delivery fees.

Material-only costs depend on quantity and type, while installation adds labor and equipment for grading, spreading, and compaction. As a planning example, small walkways often need a few tons, a 1-car driveway may require roughly 10–20 tons, and larger driveways 20–40+ tons; totals vary by depth and site prep. For exact pricing get a material quote from Hello Gravel and compare local contractor bids for installation.

Yes—Andalusia's rainy seasons can make site prep and compaction more difficult, so try to schedule deliveries when the ground is dry and avoid heavy rain forecasts. Summers are hot and can speed curing for certain pavers or stabilizers, while mild winters usually allow year-round work with attention to wet weather. Order changes are easier before dispatch, so plan ahead for peak landscaping seasons.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but there are no guarantees it will be done. For guaranteed spreading or compaction hire a local contractor or rent equipment; drivers will assess safety and site conditions on arrival. Include site access notes on your order to help the driver evaluate options.

Start by defining the project's function—load-bearing like a driveway, decorative borders, drainage, or topsoil for planting—and the expected traffic and maintenance level. Consider local climate, drainage needs, desired appearance, and budget, then use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our sales team for guidance. Remember regional sourcing means samples may vary, so order a test load or small sample if color and texture are critical.

Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, note overhead lines and soft ground, and confirm the preferred placement location in the order notes. Rural properties may have long driveways or weight restrictions, so communicate access limitations when ordering and check that trucks can safely reach the site. Our team will coordinate with local haulers but it helps to be available by phone on delivery day to guide placement.

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

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.
