Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Cherokee, AL

Start by matching material performance to the job: consider load-bearing needs, drainage, and appearance. For projects like driveways, paths, or planting beds think about compaction, permeability, and texture—gravel, sand, dirt, stone each behave differently but can be combined. Use our material calculator and feel free to contact our team for recommendations based on your project's size and Cherokee's local conditions.

Look for materials that allow water to pass through and resist washout on slopes, and plan for proper grading and edge restraints. Particle size and placement matter more than color; a permeable base plus surface material helps manage runoff in Cherokee's rainy periods. If you are unsure, describe your slope and runoff patterns when requesting a quote so we can suggest suitable options.

Because we source regionally, color, texture, and particle shape can vary from photos and between suppliers. That natural variation is normal for aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and does not necessarily indicate a quality issue. You can note color or texture preferences in your order notes, and contact customer service with concerns after delivery.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide the depth you need, then use our material calculator to convert cubic feet to cubic yards or tons. Densities vary by material, so a calculator or a quick chat with our team will give a more accurate tonnage estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, stone. For irregular areas, add 5-10% extra to account for compaction and waste.

Expect dump truck deliveries (typically tri-axle) that need room to turn and a clear drop location, with a 3-ton minimum order. Note driveway width, overhead wires, gates, and soft ground at the drop site before delivery; tight or steep access may require alternate staging or smaller trucks. Provide access instructions at checkout and our dispatch team will coordinate with the local hauler.

Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days from order, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and we'll confirm scheduling with the local supplier and hauler. Exact arrival times are not guaranteed, so plan for a window on the chosen day.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but there are no guarantees. Spreading depends on safety, truck access, and the equipment available to the driver. If precise grading or spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor to finish the job after delivery.

Cherokee sits in West Alabama where soils can be clay-rich and heavy in wet seasons, so select materials that improve drainage and resist rutting when combined with local soil. For surfaces and bases, plan for proper compaction and consider thicker sections where traffic or wet conditions are expected. Seasonal timing also matters: late spring and fall are often better for large placements to avoid the wettest periods.

Price depends on the type and amount of material, delivery distance from the local supplier, load size, and seasonal demand. Local geology in West Alabama affects availability and therefore cost for gravel, sand, dirt, stone; longer hauls and smaller orders typically increase per-ton pricing. Use the checkout to get transparent pricing for your zip code and request a quote for larger contractor jobs.

Contractors should plan a clear staging area for truck turnaround, confirm load sequencing for multiple deliveries, and communicate access restrictions or permit needs ahead of time. Larger orders and repeat deliveries can be coordinated for efficiency—provide project timelines and site details when placing the order. Our platform connects you with local haulers who are used to regional conditions in West Alabama, but early coordination reduces delays.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests before the order is processed or dispatched. Changes may be limited once the supplier or truck is scheduled, and additional fees can apply depending on timing. Check our order terms or contact customer service for help with specific situations.

Delivery availability depends on the supplier and hauler network in and around Cherokee, AL, so check your zip code at checkout to confirm service.

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.
