Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Boaz, AL

Costs vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance. As a rough guide, expect many common aggregates to fall between $15 and $60 per ton (or about $20 to $75 per cubic yard) delivered; exact pricing depends on your zip code, the material mix, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel shows transparent, zip-code-specific pricing at checkout so you can compare options before ordering.

Choose materials based on function rather than a single 'best' product: think about load-bearing needs for driveways, compaction for paths, and permeability for landscaped beds. In Boaz's humid, warm climate you’ll want materials that handle wet conditions and provide good drainage; consider options from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group and pick the particle size and compaction level that match your project goals. If you’re unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our team for tailored guidance.

Yes. Hello Gravel is an online marketplace that connects customers in Boaz with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers, and shows delivery availability when you enter your zip code. We manage scheduling and delivery logistics, but deliveries are performed by regional trucking fleets rather than Hello Gravel-branded trucks.

Boaz experiences hot, humid summers and wetter periods in spring and fall, which can make ground soft and affect compaction and spreading. Schedule deliveries and installation during drier windows when possible, allow time for the ground to dry after rain, and consider off-peak seasons for larger projects to avoid delays. Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.

Local ordinances, county rules, or HOA covenants may restrict driveway changes, curb cuts, stormwater handling, or visible landscaping alterations. Before ordering large amounts, check Boaz city codes, your county office, and any HOA rules for permits or setback requirements. When in doubt, contact our support team for advice on common local considerations, but final responsibility for permits rests with the customer.

Water management is a top concern in West Alabama’s climate: poor drainage can cause pooling, erosion, and loss of material. Choose materials and installation methods that promote proper grading, use edging and geotextile where needed, and plan for slope and runoff paths to reduce erosion. For steeper sites or poor soils, combining a stable base layer with proper grading is usually more important than the surface material choice.

Typical small landscaping projects often start at the minimum order of about 3 tons, while small driveways or major patio bases commonly require 10 to 40 tons. In cubic yards, many homeowner jobs fall in the 2 to 25 cubic yard range depending on depth and area; exact needs vary by material and compaction. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for an estimate and call our team if you want help converting between cubic yards and tons.

Service offerings vary by supplier and trucking company. Many drivers can perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it is safe to do so, but spreading, compaction, and removal of old material are not guaranteed and may incur additional charges. Request any extra services at checkout and confirm with customer service before delivery to set expectations.

Standard delivery lead time is generally 2 or more business days after order placement, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead times can lengthen during busy landscaping seasons or extreme weather, so order earlier for weekend projects or larger deliveries. You’ll receive a delivery window during booking and a confirmation before dispatch.

Prioritize the project’s function: durability and load-bearing for driveways, drainage and permeability for beds and paths, and appearance and maintenance for visible areas. Compare cost, maintenance needs, long-term performance in wet conditions, and how the material interacts with local soils and slope. If you balance those factors and use the material calculator, you’ll arrive at a practical, budget-conscious choice.

Start by measuring length, width, and desired depth of the area to be filled, then convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). Because weight varies by material, a general rule of thumb is that 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material and moisture content, so check the specific conversion for the product you choose. Use Hello Gravel’s online material calculator for a zip-code-specific estimate and contact our team if you want a review before ordering.

Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and provide photos and delivery details so we can investigate and work toward a satisfactory resolution. Natural materials reflect regional geology and can vary in color and texture, so some variation is normal; we will review your order and our supplier’s information and explain next steps. For policy details, refer to our refund and issue resolution guidance during checkout.

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.
