Delivery is made by regional dump truck fleets rather than Hello Gravel-branded trucks, and available suppliers depend on your zip code.

Saraland's climate can bring heavy rain and humid conditions that make sites muddy or soft, so scheduling around wet periods is wise. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If weather appears to be an issue, contact us and the local hauler will assess site conditions before delivery.

Local soil and drainage conditions influence which materials perform best; low spots, clay or sandy soils, and poor slope drainage can require different aggregates or additional sub-base. Generally, select materials that improve drainage and stability for your project, and consider geotextile or grading work for persistent drainage problems. If unsure, consult our team or a local contractor to match material type to site conditions.

Permits and HOA restrictions vary by project type and neighborhood, and Saraland may require permits for driveways, major grading, or changes in stormwater flow. Check with the City of Saraland, Mobile County, and your HOA before ordering materials to avoid delays. If you need help identifying likely permits, our team can point you to local resources.

Contractors typically price installation based on labor, equipment, and project complexity—commonly by hour or square foot—while Hello Gravel charges for material and delivery only. If you need full installation, coordinate with your contractor for combined pricing and timeline, and order materials with lead time aligned to their schedule. We recommend confirming arrival times so materials arrive when the crew is ready to work.

Order sizes depend on area and desired depth. As a rough guide, a 200 sq ft patio at 2" depth often needs about 2.5 to 3 tons, while a 12x50 ft driveway at 3" depth may require roughly 8 to 10 tons; these are estimates that vary by material density. Use our material calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a more accurate quantity.

Yes; because Saraland can receive heavy rains, choosing materials that resist erosion and allow proper drainage helps protect landscaping and driveways. Incorporating proper slopes, drainage channels, and more stable aggregates can reduce washout and maintenance needs. For larger sites or areas near slopes, consider erosion-control measures such as geotextile fabric or edging along with appropriate materials.

Most residential deliveries in Saraland are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and require a minimum order of 3 tons. Smaller-load options may be available from some local suppliers, but availability depends on your zip code and hauler. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout, but drivers perform this service only at their discretion and it cannot be guaranteed.

Lifespan and maintenance vary by material, traffic, and site conditions; light-use landscaping may last several years before a refresh is needed, while drive surfaces under vehicle traffic typically need periodic top-ups or regrading. Regular maintenance includes releveling, replacing lost material after heavy rain, and controlling weeds or vegetation. Budget for occasional replenishment and inspections, especially after storm seasons.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. We will make our best effort to adjust orders, but changes cannot be guaranteed once a local supplier or hauler has scheduled the delivery. Check our order confirmation for next steps and contact info.

Clear a safe drop area free of low branches, vehicles, and obstacles, and mark any underground utilities or delicate surfaces before delivery day. Ensure there is room for a large dump truck to access the site or arrange an alternate drop zone if access is limited, and note any street-parking or permit requirements with local authorities. If you need spreading or special placement, request it at checkout and discuss details with the driver on arrival, remembering spreading is at the driver's discretion.

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