Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bay Minette, AL

Homeowners and contractors in Bay Minette typically order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, parking pads, garden beds, and drainage work. These materials are used as base layers, surface toppings, and to improve drainage or soil structure; regional color and texture can vary with local sourcing.

Bay Minette sees humid, sometimes wet conditions that make drainage and runoff important considerations when choosing materials. Opt for mixes that shed water well for surfaces and use well-compacted bases or geotextile under heavier loads to reduce settling and rutting over time.

Pick materials with appropriate particle size and grading for the intended use: more angular, well-graded mixes compact better for driveways and bases, while looser, porous mixes work well for drainage areas. Always assess the existing subgrade and plan for compaction and edge restraint to prevent movement.

Typical quantities vary by project: small planting beds often need 1 to 3 cubic yards, a single-car driveway resurfacing usually requires 10 to 20 cubic yards, and new two-car driveways can be 20 to 40 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a precise estimate.

Standard delivery in Bay Minette generally requires 2 or more business days, and a next-day option may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries arrive by dump truck (commonly tri-axle) and you can select a preferred date during checkout; confirmation and timing depend on supplier and truck schedules.

Minimum orders start at about 3 tons, though exact minimums can vary by supplier and material type. Delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and whether the delivery is rural; many urban and nearby deliveries may be free, while remote or long-haul sites can incur extra charges.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and truck capability. For full installation or grading services, you should hire a local contractor—some suppliers or partner contractors in the area offer installation in addition to delivery.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and county; some driveways, curb cuts, or large deliveries may require city or Baldwin County permits or HOA approval. Check with Bay Minette city hall, Baldwin County, and your HOA before beginning work to confirm any restrictions or required inspections.

Soils near Bay Minette can range from sandy to clayey depending on location; sandy soils drain well but may need stabilization, while clay-rich spots can retain moisture and cause settling. For structural projects, improving the subgrade with compacted base material, proper drainage, and sometimes geotextile fabric will extend the life of your surface.

Prices depend on local supply, haul distance, and fuel costs, so nearby towns can be slightly cheaper or more expensive depending on those factors.
