Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Higdon, AL

Start by matching material properties to the job: durability and drainage for driveways, texture and appearance for landscaping, and compaction for base layers. Consider local climate and load (cars, trucks, foot traffic) and ask whether the surface needs a finished look or just function. Use a material calculator or our aggregate quiz to estimate quantities and get guidance from our team if you are unsure.

West Alabama sees hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rain in spring and late fall, which can make ground conditions muddy and deliveries harder. Plan deliveries for drier months or give flexibility around forecasted storms; standard delivery typically needs 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available with a cutoff. For projects requiring compaction or curing, avoid very wet or freezing conditions to get the best results.

Calculate volume in cubic yards or tons by measuring length, width, and depth of the area and converting to the unit your supplier uses. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches depth, but coverage changes with material type and compaction, so use an online calculator or ask our team for help. Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons.

Rural deliveries can be affected by narrow roads, low bridges, long driveways, steep grades, and turnaround space for dump trucks, so drivers will assess access when they arrive. Some locations may need smaller trucks or a short walk from the drop point, and remote deliveries or difficult access may incur additional fees. Provide clear directions, gate codes, and a preferred drop location at checkout to help ensure a smooth delivery.

You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and only when it is safe and practical. This service is not guaranteed, and availability depends on the truck, site conditions, and local rules. If precise spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor for placement after delivery.

Prices vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance, but homeowners in the region typically see a broad range depending on the product and local supply. Expect variability and check our online pricing for a quote; we show transparent rates and delivery options when you enter your zip code. For a more accurate estimate, request a quote with your project dimensions and desired material type.

Some projects require permits, driveway cut approvals, or adherence to local road setbacks, and HOAs may have rules about surface materials, colors, and curb appeal. Before ordering, check with Clay County or your town office and review any HOA guidelines to avoid rework or removal. If you need help, our team can remind you to check local rules but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.

Match the material's function to your project needs: look for drainage and load-bearing for driveways, stability and compaction for base layers, and finer texture for top dressing or planting beds. Consider how each material weathers locally, how often it will need maintenance, and the visual look you want. If you are unsure, use our material guide or contact our sales team for recommendations based on the project and Higdon's regional conditions.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and consistency can vary across suppliers in the region. Photos are representative; exact matches cannot be guaranteed, but you can note color preferences in Order Notes and request samples where available. If a material seems significantly different than expected, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory solution.

Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
