Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Phil Campbell, AL

Choose materials based on traffic, drainage, and appearance. For base layers or high-traffic areas pick a material that compacts well; for top dressing or decorative beds choose something that matches your look and weed-control needs. Because suppliers source regionally, gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in texture and color, so ask for guidance or samples when ordering.

Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide the desired depth in inches, then divide (square feet x depth in inches) by 324 to get cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact our team for help converting cubic yards to tons, since weight varies by material. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so plan around that when estimating.

Many local suppliers deliver to rural and unpaved addresses, but delivery depends on access, road conditions, and safety. Drivers will assess the site and may charge extra for difficult access or long distances off main roads. Add detailed delivery notes at checkout and contact our team if you have unusually steep, narrow, or soft access routes.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks, and you can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout. Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver’s discretion, but it is not guaranteed.

Clay soils common in West Alabama hold moisture and can affect drainage and compaction, so prioritize materials that promote good drainage and a stable base for high-traffic areas. Use coarser, well-draining materials for sub-base and consider a top layer suited to appearance and maintenance needs. If you are unsure, our team can recommend combinations that work well with local soil types.

Plan deliveries around rainy seasons and heavy storms to avoid muddy conditions that hinder truck access and spreading. Hot, humid summers can make work harder and may affect handling of some materials, while cooler, drier months are often easier for grading and compaction. If weather causes delays, contact us as soon as possible to reschedule or change delivery instructions.

Costs depend on the type of material, the distance from the local supplier, and the size of the load; smaller orders typically cost more per ton than larger orders. Rural deliveries or difficult access can add fees, while regional sourcing can reduce material costs. For an accurate price, use our online quote tool or contact our team with your zip code and project details.

Hire a contractor for projects that require grading, heavy equipment, extensive drainage work, or when permits and inspections are involved. For small patios, garden beds, or minor driveway repairs, many homeowners can handle delivery and installation themselves. Consider your comfort with tools, time, and physical labor; we can help you estimate material needs whether you DIY or hire a pro.

Permits and approvals depend on the scope of the work and local regulations; some driveway expansions or major grading can require county permits or HOA approval. Check with Franklin County and any applicable HOA before starting the project to confirm requirements. If you need help, contact local building authorities and explain your planned work to make sure you comply.

Most aggregate surfaces need occasional regrading, topping up, and weed control; frequency depends on traffic and weather exposure. Good drainage and periodic maintenance extend lifespan, while high-traffic areas may require more frequent replenishment. Plan for routine checks after heavy rains and budget for modest yearly maintenance.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, materials reflect the geology of West Alabama and may vary in color, texture, and particle shape. Photos online are representative but may not exactly match what is delivered, so include color or texture notes on your order if you have a specific preference. If appearance is critical, request photos or samples from the supplier before delivery.

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.
