Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Florala, AL

Homeowners in Florala commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, garden beds, drainage fixes, and basic grading. These materials come in different sizes and finishes, so choose based on the task—structural work needs more compactable material, while top layers are chosen for appearance and surface drainage. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary from supplier to supplier.

Florala’s hot, humid summers and frequent heavy rain mean it’s best to schedule major deliveries and installation during drier windows in spring or fall when the ground is firmer. Avoid heavy deliveries right after prolonged rain because saturated soil and soft lanes make spreading and compaction harder. For small repair jobs, plan around forecasted storms to prevent washed materials and extra labor.

Prices vary by material, distance, and supplier, but in rural Alabama typical delivered prices often fall in a broad range such as about $20 to $60 per ton, or roughly $25 to $80 per cubic yard, depending on material type and availability. Local haul distance, minimum order sizes, and seasonal demand can push prices up or down, so use our checkout to see transparent local pricing. Contact our team if you need a tailored quote for larger jobs or remote access.

Many residential projects in Florala do not require a city permit, but rules can vary by property, floodplain status, and homeowner association. Check with Florala city offices, Covington County, or your HOA before starting major changes to driveways, curb cuts, or drainage alterations. When in doubt, we recommend confirming local rules early in the planning stage to avoid rework.

On rural properties expect issues like narrow roads, long driveways, soft shoulders, low-hanging wires, and limited turning room that can affect dump truck access. Provide clear delivery notes, photos, and gate codes at checkout so drivers and haulers can plan routes and staging areas. Our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck, so plan a safe place for the truck to park and dump.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches, then use our online calculator to convert to cubic yards or tons—1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches depth. Because material density varies, use the calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate to avoid underordering or large excess. We recommend ordering a small extra amount (usually 5–10%) for spreading, compaction, and settling.

Choose a material based on function: pick a compactable aggregate for load-bearing driveways, something that promotes drainage for wet areas, and a finer or decorative surface for pathways and beds. Think about traffic, drainage needs, and appearance, then consult our material selector or talk to our team for recommendations based on local conditions. Remember regional sourcing means look and texture may differ from photos, so you can note color preferences at checkout.

Most materials require periodic attention such as regrading, topping up low spots, and addressing washouts after heavy storms—especially in areas with poor drainage or steep slopes. For driveways, occasional regrading and adding fresh material every few years helps maintain a smooth, stable surface. Good drainage and compaction at installation reduce long‑term maintenance needs.

Contractors typically include material costs, delivery fees, labor for spreading and compacting, and any additional site prep in their quotes, and they often require a deposit for scheduling. Scheduling usually follows material availability and truck routes—Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Provide accurate site details when you ask for a quote so contractors can give realistic pricing and timing.

Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed; you can request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. If you need to change an order, contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier before dispatch, and we will do our best to accommodate requests depending on processing status. For delivery problems or material concerns, contact customer service with photos so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.

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

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.
