Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Centre, AL

Start with the project's purpose: load-bearing surfaces like driveways need a durable base and a surface that sheds water, while garden beds and play areas prioritize drainage and comfort. Consider local conditions in Centre such as rainfall and clay soils; choose a material with good drainage and interlock if you need stability. Use our material quiz or contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your project size and desired look.

West Alabama often has clay-rich soils and heavy summer rains that can hold moisture and cause settling. Pick materials that improve drainage and resist compaction, and plan for edge restraints or geotextile fabric on slopes or soft ground. Expect regional color and texture variation because materials are sourced locally.

Think of a project in layers: a stable base material provides support and drainage, while a surface material determines appearance and traction. For long-lasting results choose a coarser, compactable base and a finer, durable surface material; the right combination depends on expected traffic, slope, and aesthetics. If unsure, request guidance noting vehicle weight and how often the surface will be used.

Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers; as a rough guideline, bulk materials can range from about $15 to $60 per ton, while delivery fees often run from around $50 to $200 depending on haul distance and truck size. Installation or spreading is extra and depends on labor and site complexity. For a precise total, use our calculator or get a quote with your zip code 35960.

Many homeowners schedule projects in spring and fall when temperatures are mild and ground conditions are easier to work with, but Centre's mild winters often allow for year-round deliveries. Avoid working right after heavy rains to reduce compaction and poor settling. Book deliveries a few weeks in advance for spring and fall to secure preferred dates.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks, and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this at checkout but know it is not guaranteed. Some properties have access limits or permit requirements; share driveway dimensions and any obstacles when ordering.

Yes: narrow roads, low-hanging trees, septic fields, or soft driveways can restrict truck access and affect where material can be placed. Clear an unobstructed dump zone, mark utilities or delicate landscaping, and let our team know any site issues before delivery. If spreading is needed, plan for a crew or rent equipment since drivers may not be able to do extensive spreading.

Confirm material gradation, typical uses, and whether local sourcing causes color or texture variation that could affect the finished look. Ask about lead times, delivery method (truck size and access), minimums, and any additional fees for next-day delivery or spreading. Get the order and delivery details in writing so expectations on quantity, timing, and site access are clear.

Material supply typically reflects regional qualities, and suppliers rarely guarantee exact color or consistency; Hello Gravel will work to address issues through customer service. Installation warranties depend on the contractor you hire rather than material supply; discuss workmanship warranties with your installer before work begins. If you have concerns about delivered materials, contact our team promptly so we can help resolve the issue or guide next steps.

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.
