Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lexington, AL

For Lexington, many projects benefit from locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, and stone that reflect West Alabama's soils and drainage patterns. Choose materials that match the job: well-draining mixes for driveways and paths, firmer fills for structural bases, and finer materials for top-dressing or leveling. Expect natural color and texture variation due to regional geology and plan for drainage in areas with heavy rain.

Pick the grade based on function rather than appearance: larger, angular mixes for base layers and compaction; finer, screened materials for leveling and finishing. Higher-graded materials cost more but often reduce long-term maintenance for driveways and load-bearing areas. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for recommendations based on your project and budget.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches for the material layer you need, then convert to cubic yards (area in square feet x depth in feet ÷ 27). Use our online calculator or call us for help converting cubic yards to tons, since weight varies by material type and moisture content. Always add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and uses local dump truck fleets to deliver to Lexington and nearby West Alabama ZIP codes; check your ZIP code at checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout, but there are no guarantees.

Prices vary widely based on the material type, grade, distance from local quarries, quantity ordered, and current market conditions. Because of that variability, the most accurate way to know is to request a quote through our site or use the material calculator during checkout. We provide transparent pricing and will show delivery fees and any optional services before you complete your order.

Spring and fall are often the easiest seasons for delivery and installation due to milder temperatures and typically lower rain risk than late winter or summer storm months. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain forecasts or when ground is saturated, because wet conditions can affect compaction and make delivery sites muddy. If you need a tight timeline, consider our next-day option (availability permitting) and plan for dry weather when possible.

Many cities and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, drainage, and visible surfacing, so check Lexington city or local county offices and your HOA before you buy. Permits may be required for new driveway connections or changes to stormwater flow. If you need help, contact our team and we can suggest what to ask your local permitting office.

Contractors vary: some offer full-service installation including delivery, grading, and compaction, while others only handle installation and expect materials to be delivered separately. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with local haulers; if you need installation, ask potential contractors whether they include spreading and compaction or prefer material-only delivery. When hiring a contractor, confirm scope, equipment for compaction, and staging access before delivery.

Due to regional sourcing, materials may differ in color and texture from online photos; this is normal for natural aggregates. If color or texture is important, ask for local samples, add your preference in Order Notes, and contact customer service before your order ships. If you have concerns after delivery, reach out promptly so our team can review next steps under our issue-resolution process.

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.
