Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Sayre, AL

Homeowners in Sayre typically order a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, raised beds, and drainage projects. Each material serves different needs: some provide structural base and drainage while others are used for leveling or top dressing. Tell us your project and we can suggest suitable options.

Choose materials that address drainage and stability in hot, humid climates with clay soils: well-draining, angular aggregates are often best for bases and drainage layers, while finer materials work for leveling and planting beds. Consider a layered approach (base, leveling, finish) to manage water and prevent rutting. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for recommendations.

Material needed depends on driveway size and desired depth. As a rule of thumb, a 1-car driveway (about 10 x 20 ft) at 3 inches deep is roughly 2 cubic yards (about 3 tons), while a 2-car driveway (about 20 x 40 ft) at 3 inches deep is roughly 7.5 cubic yards (about 10–11 tons); deeper base layers will increase quantities proportionally. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so plan accordingly.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but fees can vary by zip code and supplier; check availability for your address. You will receive a delivery confirmation with an estimated window once your order is scheduled.

Yes, local suppliers and contracted haulers typically deliver to rural addresses and small lots, but access and safety are the main considerations. Dump trucks used are often tri-axle and need enough room to turn and dump without damaging property or utilities. If access is tight, share photos or notes at checkout so we can match the right supplier and truck.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and when conditions and equipment allow. You can request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access, safety, and driver capacity. For larger or precise placement needs, consider hiring a local contractor or labor crew.

In Sayre's climate, avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rain or saturated ground to reduce tracking, compaction, and poor spreading results. Summer heat can affect work schedules and material handling, while wetter months may require extra grading or drainage planning. Plan deliveries for dry windows and allow time for compaction and settling before final use.

Permit and HOA rules vary by location; some driveways, curb cuts, or significant grading work may require city, county, or HOA approval. Check with Sayre city offices, Chilton County (if applicable), and your HOA before ordering materials. Hello Gravel can remind you to verify permits but does not obtain permits on your behalf.

Prices vary by material type, volume, and supplier, but a rough delivered range in West Alabama is about $25 to $60 per ton or about $30 to $80 per cubic yard for common aggregates. Exact pricing depends on local supply, distance from the quarry, and current market conditions; use our checkout or request a quote for an address-specific price. We recommend checking your zip code for the most accurate pricing.

For drainage, coarser, well-graded aggregates that allow water to pass through are typically best, while denser fines or compacted dirt can help stabilize slopes and hold soil in place. Combining materials—such as a permeable base with a top layer matched to the use—often delivers the best balance of drainage and erosion control. Site slope, vegetation, and local rainfall patterns should guide final choices.

Common projects include driveways, walkway bases, patio subbases, garden beds, and grading or fill work; each project calls for different depths and material types. Estimate quantities by measuring area and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 27) and multiply by a material-specific ton-per-cubic-yard factor or use our online calculator. If you need help, our team can walk you through the measurements and suggest quantities.

Contact our customer service as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a truck has been scheduled or loaded. Review our order confirmation email for contact details and timing guidelines.

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.
