Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Mcintosh, AL

Start with the function you need: load-bearing driveways need more durable, well-compacted aggregates, while garden paths can use lighter, decorative products. Consider local soil and drainage conditions when selecting materials; in West Alabama wetter seasons mean good drainage and compaction are important. Use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation that matches your budget and intended use.

Mcintosh sits in a humid region of West Alabama where heavy rain and warm temperatures are common, so drainage and erosion resistance matter. Local soils can range from sandy to clayey, which affects compaction and settling; you may need a base layer or geotextile for stability. Choose materials and installation methods that account for wet-season runoff and seasonal settling.

Use our online material calculator for the most accurate estimates by entering project dimensions and depth. As a general rule, plan for a little extra to allow for compaction and uneven ground; ordering 5-10% over your calculated need is common. If you prefer a quick check, contact our sales team with project details and we will help estimate quantities.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by local contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks, and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. We confirm timing with the hauler before delivery but do not guarantee exact arrival windows.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and many areas benefit from free delivery depending on supplier location. Additional fees may apply for next-day service, long runs, or difficult access that requires special maneuvering. Add clear delivery notes about access, driveway width, and where to dump on your order to help drivers plan.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and practicality upon arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed. For larger or precision spreading jobs, consider hiring a landscape contractor for post-delivery spreading and grading.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, particle shape, and texture can vary across West Alabama. This means photos may not match exactly; if color matters, note preferences in your order and ask our team about local samples. Variations are natural and expected when materials are regionally sourced.

Pricing varies by material type, distance from local suppliers, and season, but expect to see a range rather than a single price point. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing at checkout and will show any delivery fees before you pay. For a tailored estimate, enter your zip code or contact our sales team for a quote based on your project and location.

Permit requirements vary by project and local jurisdiction; simple deliveries rarely need permits, but driveway expansions, new curb cuts, or changes that increase impervious surface often do. Check with Mcintosh city or the county building/planning office before starting work, and consult our team if you need help understanding typical local requirements. When in doubt, getting approval first avoids fines or project delays.

For drainage or erosion control choose materials that promote water flow and resist movement under wet conditions; for decorative uses prioritize color and texture that match your landscape. Consider combining products—one material as a stable base and another as a surface—to get both performance and aesthetics. Our team can recommend combinations that suit both function and look for Mcintosh's climate.

Aim to schedule delivery and installation during drier months when possible to reduce tracking, settling, and compaction issues; avoid major landscaping work during heavy rainy periods. If you need material in wetter seasons, plan for additional site preparation like temporary access pads or erosion controls. Book early for spring and fall when demand is higher to secure preferred delivery dates.

Hello Gravel sources materials from local suppliers in your broader West Alabama area, and delivery distance can affect fees and availability. Provide clear access details at checkout—driveway width, overhead obstacles, soft ground, and preferred dump location—so haulers can confirm if they can safely deliver. If access is limited, our team can suggest drop locations nearby or smaller truck options where available.

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.
