Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Malvern, AL

Choose based on use, drainage needs, and desired look. For driveways and paths you want a material that compacts and resists rutting; for beds and decorative areas you may prioritize color and texture. Also consider local climate and soil—materials that drain well are often better in West Alabama. Use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance tailored to your project size.

Malvern is in West Alabama and experiences hot, humid summers and regular rainfall, which can leave subsoils clayey and susceptible to poor drainage. Pick materials and base preparation that promote drainage and limit erosion. Proper grading, a stable base, and selecting aggregates that interlock or shed water will improve long-term performance.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards using: (area x depth) / 324 = cubic yards. Different materials have different weights, so use our online calculator or contact us to convert cubic yards to tons for ordering. We recommend ordering a small overage (usually 5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading waste.

Standard delivery is normally 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Confirmations and driver arrival windows are provided, but exact arrival times are not guaranteed.

Costs depend on the type of material, order size, and distance from the supplier. Many areas qualify for free or low-cost standard delivery, while next-day service or long-haul deliveries may carry additional fees. For an accurate total, get a quote through our site—pricing is transparent and tied to local supplier rates.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess whether spreading can be done safely based on access, truck position, and site conditions. This service is not guaranteed, so plan for a possible need to spread or grade material yourself or hire a local contractor.

Clear a stable, level access route and mark the desired drop zone with flags or cones to help the driver place material where you want it. Move vehicles, trailers, and obstacles out of the way and note any low-hanging lines, gates, or narrow approaches. Also mark underground utilities if digging or placing material over buried lines; if access looks tight, contact our team to discuss options before delivery.

For heavy-use areas like driveways, prioritize stability, compaction, and drainage—materials that bind or compact will perform better under vehicle loads. For decorative beds and walkways, focus on appearance, texture, and ease of maintenance; these materials can be looser and chosen for color. Consider lifecycle needs: some materials may require periodic topping or regrading while others provide long-term low maintenance.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture can vary based on local geology and production. Images are illustrative; actual material may differ in shade, grain size, or dust content. If appearance is critical, request a sample or note color preferences in your order notes so we can relay them to the supplier.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly and we will work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it. For full details on refunds and policies, refer to our order and refund information.

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.
