Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Eva, AL

Costs vary by material choice, haul distance, and season, but homeowners in Eva can expect ballpark delivered prices rather than exact quotes. As a rough estimate, delivered aggregate often falls in a broad range (for planning) of about $20 to $75 per ton or $30 to $100 per cubic yard; regional factors can push numbers outside this range. The best way to get a firm price is to check your zip code and request a quote through our site.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Eva and the surrounding West Alabama area rather than using a single company fleet. Suppliers are regionally sourced, so available materials reflect local geology and supplier inventory. Enter your zip code on our site to see the exact suppliers and delivery options for your address.

In Eva, the mild winters and hot, humid summers mean fall and spring are often the best windows for delivery and installation because of more moderate temperatures and fewer heavy storms. Summer can bring thunderstorms that delay work, and very wet periods make compaction and grading harder. If you need faster timing, consider the next-day delivery option when available and plan around local weather forecasts.

Many yards in West Alabama have clay-rich or loamy soils that can hold water and affect drainage, so consider materials and base preparation that promote drainage and stability. For areas with poor drainage, plan on grading, drainage channels, or a permeable base layer before placing gravel, sand, dirt, or stone. If you're unsure, a local contractor or our sales team can advise on site-specific concerns.

Heat, humidity, and frequent rain in West Alabama can accelerate settling, washout, and vegetation growth in loose aggregates, so expect more frequent topping up and occasional regrading than in drier climates. Choosing the right base preparation, proper drainage, and a material suited for your use will extend longevity and reduce maintenance. Regular inspections after heavy rains and seasonal upkeep help maintain performance.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. So a 600 sq ft driveway at 4 inches needs roughly 7.5 to 8 cubic yards (plan on 8), which commonly weighs 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material, so that driveway would be about 10 to 13 tons. Use our online material calculator for a precise estimate tailored to your chosen depth and material.

Permit requirements vary by city and county and may apply to new driveways, curb cuts, or substantial grading work in Eva, so check with your local building or public works department before starting. Homeowner associations may also have rules that affect material choice and appearance. When in doubt, contact local authorities or your contractor to confirm permit needs.

Local contractors in the West Alabama area commonly offer site grading, base preparation, compaction, edge restraint installation, and drainage solutions to ensure delivered material performs as intended. Many contractors will handle both supply coordination and installation; if you only want delivery, you can still request material-only service from Hello Gravel. Ask contractors for references and to confirm they are familiar with local soil and weather conditions.

Installation costs vary widely based on scope, but homeowners in Eva often find that installation can equal or exceed the cost of materials depending on grading, drainage work, and compaction required. As a rough planning guide, installation labor and prep can range from about 1.5 to 3 times the materials cost for projects that require extensive grading or drainage. Get itemized quotes for both materials and installation so you can compare total project costs.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and confirm access for a tri-axle dump truck; measure driveway angles and gate widths if applicable. Communicate your preferred drop location in Order Notes at checkout and request tailgate spreading there if you want the driver to consider it, remembering this service is at the driver's discretion. Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change the order or delivery date.

Consider load-bearing needs, drainage, appearance, maintenance, and budget when choosing materials — for example, how the material compacts, how it sheds water, and how it will look with your landscape. Also factor in local climate and soil: if drainage is a concern, choose a material and base that improve runoff; if appearance matters, ask about local color variations. Use our aggregate quiz or call our sales team for guidance tailored to your project goals.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture can vary from photos, and we encourage customers to add color or delivery notes at checkout to help match expectations.

For any issues after delivery, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the situation according to our policies.
