Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Falkville, AL

Pick materials based on function first: load-bearing needs for driveways, drainage for low spots, and appearance for landscaping. Consider local climate and soil when choosing a finish and base material; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. Use our material quiz or contact our team for help matching gravel, sand, dirt, stone to your project.

Home projects often include driveways, walkways, patios, raised garden beds, and erosion control; contractors use materials for foundations, backfill, and grading. Most of these jobs can use a combination of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on the layer and purpose. We can help you plan material mixes and volumes for DIY and pro jobs.

Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth, convert to cubic yards and add a 5-15% waste or compaction allowance. Example: a 10 ft by 20 ft area at 4 inches depth is about 2.5 cubic yards. Use our online calculator or call our team for a quick check; remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

West Alabama often has clay-rich soils that hold water and can cause poor drainage, so projects may need a well-draining base and geotextile fabric under surface layers. Choosing materials that promote runoff and provide a solid base helps prevent rutting and washouts. If you have standing water or heavy clay, tell our team so we can recommend the right combination of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and site prep.

Falkville has hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rain; materials that compact well and shed water perform best for driveways and paths. Sun and humidity can also change surface appearance and promote settling after installation, so plan for compaction and maintenance. For erosion-prone areas choose heavier aggregate and consider adding stabilization or vegetation.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and confirm access details so drivers can complete the drop efficiently.

Rural roads, narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, and weight-restricted bridges can limit truck options and affect where we can safely dump materials. If access is tight, let us know and provide photos or detailed directions so we can coordinate an appropriate truck size or alternate drop point. Always mark the desired drop location and remove obstacles before delivery.

Most materials are regionally sourced so texture and color reflect local geology, but specialized products may come from further away. Regional sourcing keeps costs lower and faster delivery, while distant sourcing can increase lead time and price. If you have a color or texture preference, note it in your order and our team will advise on local options.

Permitting and HOA rules vary by town, county, and neighborhood, so always check with the Town of Falkville, Morgan County, or your HOA before starting major changes. Simple repairs or small landscaping projects often do not require permits, but driveway changes, retaining walls, or major grading might. If needed, we can provide delivery details to include with permit applications.

Schedule heavy deliveries and grading work outside of the heaviest rain periods; late fall through early spring often offers more stable ground for site prep. Summer is workable for many projects but watch for rainy days and heat when planning crews. Book ahead for busy seasons and use our delivery calendar to lock in a convenient date.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, toys, and landscaping items, and trim overhanging branches to give trucks a safe path. Mark the exact drop spot with flags or cones and make sure gates are unlocked or someone is on site to direct the driver. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but know the driver will only do it at their discretion for safety reasons.

Pricing is usually per cubic yard or per ton and depends on the material, order size, delivery distance, and truck access constraints.

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