Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lincoln, AL

Start by identifying the project's purpose: drainage, load-bearing, erosion control, or appearance. Consider local conditions in West Alabama and pick a material that handles heat, humidity, and rainfall well; use our material calculator or aggregate quiz for guidance. If unsure, request advice from our team and order a small test quantity before a full delivery.

Think about how the surface will be used, required depth, and whether you need a compactable base or a loose finish for planting. Different aggregate mixes work better for load-bearing driveways versus decorative beds, so factor in drainage and maintenance. Plan for edging, a proper base, and slightly more material than calculated to account for compaction and waste.

Measure length, width, and desired depth, then use a cubic yard or ton calculator to convert those numbers into an order quantity. Remember our 3-ton minimum on orders and that densities vary by material, so use the calculator on our site or contact sales for help. Ordering 5-10% extra is common to cover compaction and grading adjustments.

Avoid deliveries during heavy rain or immediately after saturated conditions to reduce mud and tracking. Our standard delivery window is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Schedule deliveries to align with installation or contractor availability so material does not sit exposed long-term.

We serve Lincoln and nearby West Alabama zip codes, but availability can vary by address so check your zip code at checkout. Deliveries are made by dump trucks (typically tri-axle), so provide clear access, a stable drop zone, and note any narrow roads, low overhead lines, or weight-restricted bridges. If access is limited, tell us at checkout so we can coordinate the right equipment.

Hot, humid summers and frequent rain in this region increase the importance of drainage and erosion resistance. Choose materials and installation methods that shed water, allow for settling, and resist washing or rutting during storms. For plant-based projects, account for faster decomposition and possible weed pressure in humid conditions.

Because we source regionally, texture, color, and size can vary based on local geology, so materials may not match photos exactly. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and we recommend ordering a small sample or test load if exact appearance is critical. Contact customer service promptly if delivered material differs significantly from your expectations.

Pricing depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and delivery options such as next-day service. Local fees, driveway or site access issues, and seasonal demand can also impact cost. Use our quote tool or contact sales for a transparent estimate that includes any delivery fees and minimums.

Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes, especially after trucks are scheduled. See our order policies for specifics on refunds and adjustments.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival and decide if spreading is feasible. If spreading is essential, plan for a crew or equipment to finish the job after delivery.

Homeowners typically order for landscaping, garden beds, small driveways, patios, and yard repair, while contractors order larger volumes for site work, road base, and commercial landscaping. Both should plan quantities, timing, and access in advance and consider ordering a bit extra to cover compaction and on-site adjustments. Our team can help match the right material to each project size and use.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, toys, and fragile landscaping, and mark the exact spot for the truck to dump. Ensure access paths are wide and stable enough for a tri-axle dump truck and protect nearby plants or structures with boards or tarps if needed. Communicate any special instructions in the Order Notes so the driver knows site conditions before arrival.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
