Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Irvington, AL

Pick materials based on use, drainage, appearance, and budget. For vehicle areas choose materials that compact well and shed water; for garden beds prioritize good drainage and weed suppression. Consider local climate and slope when selecting materials, and use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance.

Bulk materials are commonly used for driveways, walkways, patios, grading, erosion control, raised beds, and temporary access roads. Both homeowners and contractors use them for repairs, new installations, and improving drainage. Because projects vary, plan quantities and delivery access before ordering.

Calculate area (length x width) and choose the target depth, then multiply to get cubic feet and convert to cubic yards or tons. Our website has a material calculator to simplify this, and our minimum order is 3 tons. If you are unsure, send project dimensions to our team and we can help estimate quantities.

Irvington’s hot, humid summers and seasonal heavy rain can cause materials to settle, wash out, or grow weeds more quickly. Good drainage, proper compaction, and occasional replenishment reduce these issues. Expect regional variation in texture and color because materials are sourced locally.

Late spring through early fall is usually best for outdoor work to avoid the wettest periods and mild winter days. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain seasons and tropical storm threats. Also allow at least 2+ business days for standard delivery or request next-day delivery before noon CST if available.

We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); check your zip code (Irvington primary 36544) for local availability and exact service areas. Delivery cost depends on quantity, distance, and site access.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. They will assess safety and access on arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading, compaction, or grading, arrange a contractor or request additional services from your supplier.

Permit and HOA rules vary by county and neighborhood; some driveways or large changes may require local permits or HOA approval. Check with the Mobile County office or your HOA before ordering. We can help by confirming delivery details, but permit advice should come from local authorities.

Local suppliers and haulers sometimes offer services like spreading, compaction, hauling away old material, or weekend/same-week delivery. Availability and fees vary by supplier and job complexity, so request these services in Order Notes or contact our team to confirm. We will coordinate with the supplier but cannot guarantee third-party services.

On sloped or erosion-prone sites, prioritize good drainage, proper base preparation, and appropriate material depth to prevent washout. Consider adding swales, retaining features, or geotextile fabric for stability and to limit movement of material. For complex slopes, consult a local contractor to design drainage that fits neighborhood conditions.

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.
