Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Brighton, AL

Start by matching material performance to the job: consider load (car traffic vs foot traffic), drainage needs, appearance, and maintenance. Common choices like gravel, sand, dirt, stone each behave differently, so pick materials that drain well for wet areas, compact for driveways, or stay loose for planting beds. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color can vary locally, so use photos and the material quiz or contact our team for recommendations.

Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert that volume to cubic yards or tons using our online calculator. As a rule of thumb, get a slightly larger amount to allow for compaction and waste. Note that our minimum order is 3 tons and our calculator and team can help refine estimates for Brighton projects.

Brighton’s hot, humid climate and the prevalence of clay or silty soils mean drainage and erosion are common concerns after heavy rain. Choose materials that promote drainage and resist rutting where vehicles travel, and plan for a base layer and proper slope to move water away from structures. Remember regional sourcing can affect texture and particle size, so pick materials suited to local conditions.

Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery windows depend on local supplier and truck availability and are scheduled through our checkout calendar. All deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets; confirm zip code availability for exact timing.

Trucks will dump material where there is safe and legal access, which usually means on driveway approaches or at the edge of your property if truck access is limited. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed for safety and liability reasons. If precise placement is critical, prepare a clear drop zone or arrange tools and helpers ahead of delivery.

Pricing varies by material, quantity, and exact delivery location; Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing at checkout so you can see material and delivery charges before you buy. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but fees can apply depending on your zip code and order size; remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Avoid scheduling major earthwork during peak rainy periods to reduce the risk of erosion and muddy conditions; spring and fall usually offer more favorable weather in West Alabama. If you need material fast, note next-day delivery cutoffs and expect longer lead times during busy seasons. Plan grading, compaction, and planting around drier windows to get the best result.

Most bulk materials settle and shift over time, especially after heavy rain or regular vehicle traffic, so occasional top-ups and regrading are normal. For areas that need drainage or heavy use, periodic compaction and weed control help maintain performance. Choose materials that match the intended use to minimize maintenance—your Hello Gravel rep can suggest low-maintenance mixes for Brighton conditions.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
