Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Troy, AL

Homeowners and contractors in Troy commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for base layers, surfaces, drainage, and planting beds. Choice depends on the job: stronger, angular materials are used for driveways and base work, while finer, looser materials are used for leveling, planting soil, or drainage swales. Consider traffic, drainage needs, and the look you want when choosing a material.

Start with the purpose: load-bearing areas need denser, compactable material while planting and grading use looser, finer material. Factor in appearance, drainage, maintenance, and local climate effects like heavy summer rains in West Alabama. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and contact the team for recommendations tailored to your site and budget.

Troy's heat, humidity, and periodic storms can increase dust, promote weed growth in loose materials, and cause fines to wash into low areas during heavy rain. Proper slope, edging, and use of geotextile or a compactable base help reduce washout and settling. Plan for occasional top-ups and seasonal maintenance after heavy storms.

Typical residential jobs vary: garden beds and small patches often need 0.5 to 2 cubic yards, walkways and small patios 1 to 4 cubic yards, and driveways usually require 5 to 20 cubic yards depending on length and depth. Because material weights vary by type, that commonly equals roughly 1.2 to 32 tons across those ranges. Use the online calculator or provide square footage and desired depth to get a precise estimate.

The minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and availability depends on your zip code.

Key factors are transport distance from the local supplier, total tonnage, material grade, site accessibility, and seasonal demand. Additional costs can come from special handling requests, tight access, waiting time, or optional services like spreading. You can get a transparent quote during checkout and see delivery fees for your zip code.

Many installations benefit from basic prep: clearing vegetation, establishing proper slope, and compacting the base. Larger or deeper projects often require equipment such as a skid steer, excavator, or plate compactor and may need geotextile fabric or edging. If you are unsure, we recommend consulting a contractor or discussing the job with our team to determine necessary prep and rentals.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. Safety, truck access, and material type affect whether spreading is possible. If spreading is required, consider hiring local labor or equipment to ensure a consistent finish.

Local building codes, city ordinances, and HOA covenants can restrict material choices, colors, or drainage practices. Because regulations vary by neighborhood and association, check with Troy city offices or your HOA before ordering. If you need help, our team can suggest common options that meet typical neighborhood standards.

Natural materials reflect local geology, so color and texture may differ from photos; you can add color or texture notes in the order. Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easier before dispatch but may not always be possible. If there is an issue after delivery, contact customer service promptly and review the refund policy for next steps.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
