Prices vary by material, haul distance, and season, but a typical range in West Alabama is about $20 to $60 per ton or roughly $15 to $50 per cubic yard for common aggregates. Heavier, specialty, or colored materials can cost more, and delivery, minimum order fees, or next-day service will affect the final price. Use our online quote tool or call for an exact price for your project.

In Marbury’s climate, materials that drain well and compact to a stable surface perform best for driveways and paths. Choose aggregates that provide good interlock for stability and layer with a compacted base and proper slope to shed water. Adding drainage features like French drains or reinforced edges will help any material hold up better through heavy rains.

Late fall through early spring (roughly October through April) is often the most favorable window in Marbury because temperatures are milder and summer thunderstorms are less frequent. Avoid scheduling heavy grading or delivery immediately after heavy rain when ground is saturated, as wet conditions can slow work and affect compaction. If you need work in summer, plan around weather forecasts and allow extra time for drying and site prep.

Permit requirements vary by project and may include county driveway permits, culvert or right-of-way approvals, and local building or zoning rules. Homeowners should check with Lowndes County and any applicable city or HOA office before starting work. If you’re unsure, contact our team for general guidance and we can point you to local resources to confirm permit needs.

Labor and equipment costs depend on scope: expect local contractor labor rates and small equipment rental to be a significant portion of a job. As a rough guide, contractor labor can range widely by experience and task, and small equipment rentals (skid steer, mini-excavator, plate compactor) commonly run from a couple hundred dollars per day. Get written estimates from local contractors so you can compare material plus installation costs.

Soils with higher clay content can hold water and need a thicker, well-compacted subbase and improved drainage, while sandy soils drain easily but may need stabilization to prevent shifting. Steep or uneven terrain often requires grading, terracing, or retaining edges to control erosion and keep materials in place. Consider a geotextile fabric under the base and plan for drainage paths to protect your material investment.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and quarries that serve Marbury and surrounding West Alabama towns; supplier names vary by route and regional sourcing. Typical minimum orders start at about 3 tons, but some suppliers or specific materials may have higher minimums depending on truck routing and availability. Enter your ZIP code or request a quote to see which suppliers can deliver to your address and what their minimums are.

Maintenance varies by material and use, but common tasks include occasional regrading, adding a fresh topping layer every few years, and clearing drainage channels after storms. Light upkeep like filling ruts and re-compacting high-traffic areas is often required annually or as needed after heavy weather. Budgeting for periodic material top-ups and minor repairs will help keep surfaces functional and looking good.

Delivery fees reflect truck distance, time, and site complexity; properties with narrow roads, low-hanging wires, or tight turns may incur additional charges or require offloading at the road. Minimum order sizes and truck routing determine whether you’ll pay per-ton pricing or a higher flat delivery fee, so small projects can be disproportionately impacted by minimums. Sharing photos and detailed delivery notes at checkout helps suppliers give accurate pricing and determine if special arrangements are needed.

Clear a safe drop zone by removing obstacles, marking underground utilities, and noting overhead lines or low branches. Make a plan for where you want materials placed and communicate that in the Order Notes; leave a phone number for the driver and ensure someone is on site at delivery time if possible. If you expect spreading, request it at checkout and understand the driver will assess if they can do it safely.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before an order is processed or dispatched. If there is a delivery issue or material concern, contact customer service with photos and order details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it. Refunds or credits follow our policies, and our team will guide you through next steps.

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.
