Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Crossville, AL

Homeowners and contractors in Crossville commonly order gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulch for projects like driveways, patios, garden beds, and grading. Our marketplace also offers specialty mixes and screened soils, but exact availability reflects local suppliers and geology. Use our material quiz or product pages to compare appearance and common uses before ordering.

West Alabama's humid climate and periodic heavy rain mean drainage and erosion resistance are top priorities. Choose materials that drain well and compact for load-bearing areas; for planting beds prefer mixes that retain moisture but shed excess water. Regional sourcing also affects texture and color, so expect natural variation.

For driveways, homeowners often pick compactable aggregates that form a stable base and shed water; walkways and patios may use finer, more decorative stone or sand-based mixes. Consider the expected traffic, desired appearance, and drainage needs when choosing a material. Contractors may layer different materials (base, binder, top) to get durability and finish.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using our online calculator—our site walks you through this step. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, so plan your quantities around that minimum and round up for compaction and waste. If you need help, contact our team for a quick estimate.

Standard delivery is usually scheduled for 2+ business days after ordering; you can pick a preferred date on checkout. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets. We confirm timing after connecting you with a supplier, but exact arrival windows depend on the hauler and local conditions.

Suppliers source materials regionally, so deliveries commonly come from within a 20-50 mile radius of Crossville, but the exact radius varies by supplier and material. Many areas qualify for free delivery, while more remote drop points or long hauls may incur a delivery fee. Enter your zip code at checkout to see available suppliers and any shipping charges for your address.

Spring through fall is generally the best window for most outdoor deliveries and installations when the ground is relatively dry and crews can compact materials properly. Avoid scheduling heavy material deliveries during extended rainy periods or when ground is saturated, and delay non-urgent installs during freezing conditions. For landscaping and mulch, early spring or fall gives plants the best chance to establish.

Costs vary by material, local supply, and distance, but many common aggregates in rural Alabama range roughly from $15 to $60 per ton for the material itself. Delivery fees can range from no charge up to around $150 or more for longer distances or special handling, depending on supplier and truck access.

Yes. City codes, county regulations, and HOAs can set rules about driveway surfacing, drainage, setbacks, and curb cuts, so check with Crossville city hall, your county office, or your HOA before ordering materials. Also verify any street access or stormwater requirements that could affect grading and installation. If in doubt, request a permit check or talk to your contractor before delivery.

Because materials reflect local geology, color and texture can vary; if the delivered material doesn’t meet expectations, contact our customer service right away so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. For order changes, reach out as soon as possible—modifications are easier before a load is dispatched but not always possible after processing. Review our policy pages for details on how we handle issues and refunds.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but there are no guarantees and safety or access limits may prevent spreading. Deliveries are performed by contracted dump truck fleets, so make sure the drop zone is accessible, obstacles are removed, and any permits are in place. If spreading is not possible, the driver will leave the material in a pile for your contractor or crew to finish.

Pick materials with good permeability and appropriate particle size to slow water flow and allow infiltration—coarser aggregates are better for high-flow areas and finer mixes for planting tie-in zones. Combine materials by creating a stable base, a filter or fabric layer where needed, and a surface that resists washout; adding vegetation or retaining features often helps. If your slope is steep or drainage complex, consult a local contractor or engineer for a site-specific plan.

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