Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Coaling, AL

For small projects or very tight spaces, bagged materials can be convenient. For most landscaping or construction jobs in Coaling, ordering bulk by the ton or cubic yard is usually more cost-effective because you pay less per unit and get delivery included; keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional pricing can vary.

You order online and pick a delivery date, then Hello Gravel coordinates a local supplier and dump truck to deliver your materials. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck that drops a pile at your property; standard lead time is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Match the material to the job: choose a base-grade mix for driveways and patios, a finer top dressing for pathways or planting areas, and heavier, coarser material for drainage or retaining work. Use the material calculator and the aggregate quiz on the site, or contact our team for guidance, and remember regional sourcing means appearance and texture may vary locally.

The 3-3-3 rule is a common mulch guideline meaning apply about 3 inches of mulch, keep mulch roughly 3 inches away from plant stems or trunks, and refresh or inspect every 3 years. For other materials like gravel, sand, dirt, or stone, different depth and spacing guidelines apply, so pick depth based on the project (for example, base layers are thicker than surface dressings).

Calculate volume: area (sq ft) × depth (inches) ÷ 324 gives cubic yards needed. For 1,000 sq ft that is about 6.2 cubic yards at 2 inches, 9.3 cubic yards at 3 inches, or 12.3 cubic yards at 4 inches; multiply cubic yards by the material's tons-per-cubic-yard (commonly about 1.3–1.7 t/yd3 for many aggregates) to get tons.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry roughly 10–12 cubic yards (volume) depending on material and local supplier limits, which often covers about 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches depth. Whether one truck is enough depends on your chosen depth and material density, so use the volume calculation above and check the truck capacity shown at checkout.

Price depends on the material type, local supplier rates, distance from the quarry to Coaling, material density, seasonal demand, and any delivery extras like tight-access fees or requested spreading. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front, but final cost can vary by ZIP code and the supplier assigned to your order.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed; request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and job feasibility on arrival. If spreading is important, plan for potential additional labor or tools and note that drivers are not required to provide detailed landscaping work.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before an order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a supplier or truck has been assigned; consult the order confirmation for the fastest contact options.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.

We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
