Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Florence, AL

Start by matching the material's function to your project: drainage and traction, structural fill, top dressing, or decorative groundcover. In Florence's climate and local geology, consider regional variants of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone—our material quiz and product descriptions can help narrow options. If unsure, contact our team with project dimensions and photos for a recommendation.

Use our material calculator for precise numbers, but as a rule of thumb one cubic yard converts to roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on density. For projects like raised beds, pathways, or base layers give depth, area, and compaction needs to get an accurate estimate. Always order a little extra (5-10%) for compaction, grading, and waste.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, but availability and minimums can vary by supplier and zip code, so check your delivery options for Florence (35630) and nearby codes. We show delivery date options at checkout and confirm details before dispatch.

Yes, delivery fees depend on your exact zip code, distance from the local supplier, road access, and load size; some areas qualify for free delivery while remote or hard-to-reach addresses may incur extra charges. Service-area limits and truck access rules can affect where we can deliver and the equipment needed. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to see specific fees and limits for Florence and nearby codes.

Some local suppliers and contractors offer on-site estimates or measurements, but this varies by provider and is not guaranteed through the standard Hello Gravel booking. We recommend uploading photos and measurements at checkout or contacting our sales team to request additional on-site services so we can coordinate with local partners. If an on-site visit is needed, our team will explain any additional fees or scheduling steps.

Bulk delivery of mulch is usually more cost-effective per cubic yard once delivery is included, especially for larger jobs, while palletized bags are convenient for small projects or areas with limited truck access. Some suppliers deliver palletized bagged material to Florence but may charge extra for pallet handling and lift-gate service. Compare total delivered prices and access constraints before deciding.

A full cubic yard may be heavy and messy for a standard pickup and often exceeds safe load limits depending on material density, so many homeowners prefer scheduled dump delivery. Small trucks can carry partial loads, but safety, suspension, and bed capacity vary—if in doubt, schedule delivery or call our team for guidance. We require a minimum order of 3 tons for delivery, which often makes truck delivery the practical option.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and dependent on safety, site access, and the driver's equipment. For dedicated spreading, grading, or installation labor, local contractors typically provide those services and price them separately, either by the hour or by the job. Ask for recommendations from our sales team if you need contractors in the Florence area.

Standard deliveries are included in many areas and scheduled 2+ business days out, while same-week or expedited deliveries usually incur an extra fee to prioritize scheduling and hauling. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge. We will show available delivery windows and fees during checkout so you can choose the option that fits your timeline.

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure online checkout, and can discuss commercial invoicing or contractor terms for larger accounts. Contractors and large projects should contact our sales team to discuss volume pricing, invoicing, or payment arrangements. Always verify payment and billing options before placing a large order.

Natural materials reflect local geology so color, texture, and gradation can vary; if a delivered material looks different than you expected contact customer service promptly and we will work with you to resolve the issue. For order changes, contact us as soon as possible—changes are easier before processing and dispatch but are not guaranteed once a load is scheduled. Our team will explain next steps and any applicable policies.

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