Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Jackson, AL

Homeowners and contractors in Jackson commonly order bulk mixes like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for landscaping, driveways, drainage, and backfill. These materials cover a range of uses from topsoil and planting mixes to base layers and erosion control, and regional suppliers often offer local variants in texture and color.

Choose a material based on function: durability and compaction for driveways and pads, fine texture for patios and walkways, and more open, coarse material for drainage and erosion control. Consider traffic load, desired appearance, and site drainage; if unsure, use our material quiz or contact the Hello Gravel team for a recommendation.

Typical compacted thickness ranges are a good starting point: 4-8 inches for residential driveways, 6-8 inches for parking pads or heavier loads, and 2-4 inches for walkways and decorative beds. Final thickness depends on soil conditions, expected loads, and whether a geotextile or subbase is used.

Jackson’s wet seasons and warm summers can affect delivery and installation. Avoid major deliveries during heavy rain, plan compaction and grading when the ground is firm, and choose materials that handle local moisture and freeze/thaw cycles; schedule earlier in dry months when possible to reduce delays and spreading issues.

Many West Alabama sites have areas of clay or slow-draining soils that benefit from coarser, well-graded aggregates to improve surface drainage and reduce standing water. Assess the site for low spots, runoff paths, and erosion risk and consider adding a drainage layer or grading work before placing finish material.

Suppliers serving Jackson typically deliver within nearby zip codes and rural areas; Hello Gravel partners use contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) and will place loads where trucks can safely access. Mark the drop zone, clear obstacles and overhead lines, and provide clear directions at checkout; if access is limited, contact our team to discuss alternate staging options.

Deliveries are commonly made with tri-axle or tandem dump trucks; loads typically range from about 10 to 18 tons depending on material density and local road weight limits. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and we coordinate the best truck for your site based on access and load size.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can vary with seasonal demand and supplier stock, so contact us early for weekend or same-week needs.

Contact the Hello Gravel team as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to adjust quantities or dates depending on supplier and truck scheduling, but changes are not guaranteed once processing or dispatch has begun.

Pricing varies by material, density, and delivery distance; typical delivered ranges for common aggregates in Jackson might fall roughly between $20 and $60 per ton, or about $30 to $80 per cubic yard. Exact pricing is quoted at checkout and depends on material type, quantity, and delivery options.

Measure the area in feet, decide on the desired depth in inches, and use a cubic yard calculator or our material calculator to convert to cubic yards or tons. As a rough guide, one cubic yard covers 81 square feet at 4 inches deep; densities vary so use the calculator or ask our team for a project-specific estimate.

Yes, check city or county permitting requirements and your HOA rules before placing large deliveries or doing driveways and grading work. Also consider protecting existing driveways and lawns during delivery—use plywood for sensitive surfaces and discuss placement and access with the driver at arrival.

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.
