Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Fulton, AL

Fulton experiences hot, humid summers and generally mild winters with occasional freezes and heavy summer storms. These conditions increase the importance of drainage and erosion control when planning projects; wetter periods can delay deliveries and installation. Schedule grading and compaction work during drier windows and allow material to settle before final grading or planting.

Soils around Fulton vary from sandier to clay-rich loams, which affects drainage and settling. For sites with poor drainage or clay, choose materials and installation methods that improve runoff and reduce washout, such as a compacted base, geotextile fabric, and proper slope. Consider a soil test or contractor assessment to pick the right mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for long-term performance.

Standard delivery in our network requires at least 2 business days, and many local suppliers can accommodate same-week orders. Next-day delivery is often available if you order before noon CST, but it may incur an extra fee and depends on supplier availability and weather. Large or custom orders may need additional lead time, so contact our team early for planning.

Some deliveries may require permits or route checks, especially for very large loads or if delivery routes include weight-restricted bridges or narrow rural roads. Driveway access, overhead wires, and culverts can also limit where a dump truck can safely place material. We recommend checking with Fulton city or county public works for local rules and noting access restrictions in your order notes so drivers and suppliers can plan accordingly.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks and need clear vehicle access and a stable drop zone. If space is tight, provide detailed directions, gate codes, and a preferred drop location in the order notes; drivers will make a safety assessment on arrival. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and cannot be guaranteed.

Match the material to the project's function: stable, angular material is better for driveways and base layers, while looser, finer material works for leveling or topdressing. Think about drainage, compaction needs, and the local climate when selecting a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Use our material calculator or consult our team for quantity estimates and recommendations tailored to your project.

Prices vary by material, quantity, and local supply but in West Alabama bulk aggregates commonly range roughly from $30 to $80 per ton as a general estimate. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck size, and site access; some areas qualify for free delivery while others may incur a local delivery charge or an additional fee for next-day service.

Good preparation includes proper grading, compacting subgrade, and installing geotextile fabric where needed to separate soils from aggregate. Building a stable base and ensuring positive drainage away from structures reduces settling and erosion during heavy rains. Contractors often recommend compacting in layers and keeping runoff controlled until vegetation or hardscaping is established.

Heat and humidity in Alabama can encourage vegetation growth and promote erosion if drainage is poor, but they do not significantly degrade most natural aggregates. The bigger risks are poor compaction and inadequate drainage, which lead to rutting, washout, or weed intrusion. Design projects with proper slope, base preparation, and occasional maintenance to keep materials performing well.

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.
