Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Moulton, AL

Homeowners in Moulton commonly choose from a range of bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job. For driveways people often pick durable, compactable mixes; for planting beds and top dressing they lean toward finer, workable material. Consider drainage, appearance, and maintenance when selecting materials.

Start by matching the material to the job: load-bearing surfaces need compactable mixes, while beds and playground areas need finer, well-draining material. Think about drainage, local soil conditions, desired look, and how much maintenance you want to do. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's aggregate quiz or contact our team for guidance.

West Alabama’s soils and rainfall can cause drainage and compaction issues, and clay-heavy soils may hold water and lead to rutting or shifting. Choose materials that improve drainage and resist movement in wet conditions, and consider geotextile fabric or extra base depth in troublesome spots. Expect some regional variation in appearance and texture due to local geology.

Common projects include driveways, parking pads, garden beds, erosion control, patios, and utility backfill. Small landscape beds or walkways can require 1 to 3 tons, while driveways and large pads often need 10 to 50+ tons depending on size and depth. Use a coverage calculator or our order tools for project-specific estimates.

Measure the length and width of the area, choose a target depth, then multiply to get cubic feet and convert to cubic yards (27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard). Many materials are sold by the ton, so use our online calculator or contact the team for material-specific conversions and help. If you prefer a quick rule of thumb, use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a quote with your dimensions.

Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to local supplier availability. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and receive confirmation before dispatch.

Yes. Narrow roads, low bridges, weight-restricted routes, and tight driveways can affect truck access and may require alternate drop locations or smaller trucks. Inform us about site access and any obstacles when ordering so we can coordinate the right equipment and avoid delays. Local ordinances or private road rules may also limit large-truck access.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. Spreading depends on safety, site conditions, and the driver’s assessment on arrival, so it is not guaranteed. If spreading is critical, consider hiring a local contractor or arranging for professional installation.

Spring and fall are often the busiest times for deliveries and landscaping projects, so scheduling early can help secure preferred dates. Avoid very wet periods when possible, since soggy ground can cause access issues and make spreading or compaction difficult. If you need fast turnaround, use the next-day option when available and order before the high season spikes.

Most residential deliveries do not require permits, but large stockpiles, materials placed in a public right-of-way, or repeated heavy truck traffic may be subject to local rules. Check with Moulton city hall or Lawrence County if you plan major staging or deliveries that could block streets or driveways. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help point you toward local requirements.

Costs vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance, so prices can range widely; the best way to know is to get an online quote for your zip code. Factors that drive price include material type, haul distance, truck size, and any special services like spreading. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front so you can compare options before ordering.

Compare materials by how they perform for your needs: look for materials that compact well for load-bearing uses and those that drain easily for landscaping. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary, so evaluate samples or ask suppliers for photos and specs. Balance upfront cost against expected maintenance and lifespan for the best long-term value.

Hello Gravel connects customers with local suppliers and haulers and can often recommend installation partners or point you to local contractors, but availability varies by area. If you need full service installation, let us know when ordering and we can flag your request for possible local recommendations. You can also call our team for personalized guidance and next steps.

Clear the drop area of obstacles, mark underground utilities, and pick a stable location for the truck to unload that avoids lawns and delicate surfaces when possible. Make sure access is visible from the road and remove low-hanging branches or parked vehicles. Communicate special instructions in the Order Notes so the driver can plan the safest drop.

Contact our customer team as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to modify orders, but once a supplier and truck are scheduled, changes may be limited. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidance.
