Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Citronelle, AL

Homeowners in Citronelle commonly use bulk materials for driveways, patios, walkways, garden beds, erosion control, and simple grading or backfill work. These projects often require materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone for base layers, drainage, or top dressing. Both DIYers and contractors order material by the ton and schedule deliveries to match project timelines.

Citronelle has hot, humid summers and regular rainfall, which can increase erosion, weed growth, and settling over time. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist washout, and plan for occasional topping or compacting after heavy storms. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so expect natural variation in gravel, sand, dirt, stone.

Choose materials based on load requirements, drainage needs, appearance, and how much maintenance you want to do. For heavy-use areas pick more stable, angular mixes and a proper base; for decorative areas prioritize color and texture. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and ask our team for guidance if you are unsure which gravel, sand, dirt, stone mix fits your project.

Site prep usually includes clearing vegetation, grading to create a stable slope, and compacting soft spots or installing geotextile fabric where needed. Because local soils vary, some sites in Citronelle may require additional fill or a stronger sub-base before spreading surface material. Mark utilities, confirm access for a dump truck, and remove vehicles to speed delivery and placement.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by location; some driveway alterations, curb cuts, or major grading may need a city or county permit and HOA approval if you live in a governed neighborhood. Check with Citronelle city or Mobile County planning departments and your HOA before ordering to avoid delays. If you are unsure, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.

Deliveries are made by local dump trucks, so you need a clear, stable access route with sufficient turning room and no low overhead lines. Narrow roads, weight-limited bridges, culverts, or steep driveways can require alternate drop points or smaller trucks; let us know about restrictions when ordering. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST, minimum orders are 3 tons, and tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion.

Suppliers in the West Alabama region source materials locally, so color, particle size, and availability reflect local geology and seasonal production. Demand peaks in spring and fall and after storms, which can reduce availability or increase lead times, so order early for large jobs. Prices and material mixes can change with season and supplier inventory, so check your zip code and schedule in advance.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then convert that volume to cubic yards and finally to tons using our online calculator. Hello Gravel's material calculator will do the conversions and recommend an order quantity based on typical compaction and coverage rates. If you prefer, send project dimensions to our team and we will help estimate the right amount.

You will receive an order confirmation and a delivery window; the driver will check access on arrival and may ask you to confirm exact drop location. Expect a loud truck and a deposit of material from the truck bed; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. Clear the drop area, mark utilities, and communicate any access issues ahead of time to ensure a smooth delivery.

Homeowners balance longevity, drainage performance, and maintenance when choosing materials: denser aggregates tend to last longer under vehicle traffic, while coarser mixes drain better and need less maintenance in wet weather. Consider local soil, slope, and intended use—high-traffic driveways need a different approach than decorative garden paths. Our team can explain trade-offs for gravel, sand, dirt, stone so you can pick the best fit for durability and upkeep.

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

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.
