Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Duncanville, AL

Homeowners in Duncanville often order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, garden beds, and grading projects. These materials serve different roles—some provide drainage and structural base, others are used for leveling or topsoil. Your choice depends on function, appearance, and budget.

In West Alabama's heat, humidity, and heavy rain, prioritize materials that drain well and resist washout; gravel and crushed stone are commonly used for durable, permeable driveways while sand is often used as a bedding layer for pavers. Dirt and topsoil are selected for planting areas but may need amendments to improve drainage and stability. Consider erosion control and test a small area if you are unsure.

Delivered bulk materials work for driveways, walkways, patios, raised garden beds, grading and fill work, erosion control, and as a base for concrete or pavers. Both homeowners and contractors use these materials for new installations and repairs. Quantities and material types vary by project size and function.

Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth in inches, convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet, then divide by 27), and then convert cubic yards to tons if needed based on material density. For a rough estimate, many customers add a 5-10% overage to account for compaction and grading errors. Use an online material calculator or contact our team for help if you want a faster estimate.

Most suppliers that work with Hello Gravel require a minimum order (our platform minimum is typically 3 tons) and offer standard delivery in about 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and actual charges depend on your zip code and supplier. Free delivery is available in many areas, but final fees are confirmed at checkout.

Deliveries are typically made by dump trucks (often tri-axle), so ensure clear vehicle access, remove parked cars from the driveway, and identify the preferred drop location. Note any overhead wires, soft ground, low bridges, or narrow gates that could block a truck, and flag the drop area for the driver. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform that service at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

Spring and fall usually offer the most predictable weather for deliveries and installations in West Alabama, avoiding the hottest, wettest parts of summer that can slow work and cause erosion. Mild winters can also be suitable if ground conditions are dry, but rainy seasons may make access and compaction difficult. Plan around local weather forecasts and schedule deliveries for dry days when possible.

Local permitting, county regulations, and HOA rules can affect material choices, driveway surfaces, curb cuts, and drainage requirements. Always check with Duncanville city offices, Fayette County, or your HOA before beginning work to confirm any rules or permit needs. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but does not handle permitting or HOA approvals.

Contractors should factor in lead times, staging space, and site access when ordering, and order slightly more material to allow for compaction, cutting, and waste. Coordinate deliveries to match crew schedules, confirm truck access, and communicate any special drop instructions in the order notes. Consider regional material variations and confirm specifications with your supplier before ordering large volumes.

Natural materials vary by source, so color and texture can differ from online photos; this is common with regional sourcing. Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and may not always be possible. For quality or delivery issues, contact customer service and we will work with the local supplier and hauler to find a satisfactory solution in line with our policies.

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.
