Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Riverside, AL

Start with the project's function: durability and compaction for driveways, fine texture and drainage for patios, and good water flow for drainage work. Consider local climate and soil—materials that lock together work better for heavy traffic, while looser, well-draining mixes help with water management. Ask our team or use the material quiz to match gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends to your specific use and budget.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the required depth in inches, then use a material calculator to convert to cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, many aggregates weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, but this varies by material and moisture. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our sales team with your dimensions for an exact estimate.

Riverside's climate means spring and fall are often best for deliveries and installations—ground is typically easier to work and there are fewer heavy storms than in summer. Avoid scheduling heavy grading or spreading during prolonged rainy periods, since wet conditions affect compaction and finishing. Deliveries are available year-round, but plan around seasonal storms and local contractor availability.

Costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, truck access, and project size; Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing at checkout for your zip code. We require a 3-ton minimum and offer standard delivery in 2+ business days with optional next-day service for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Check the checkout for any delivery fees or surcharges for restricted access or long hauls.

Heat, humidity, and heavy rain in the West Alabama area can affect settling, compaction, and dust. Choose materials that handle local rainfall and runoff if you need drainage or erosion control, and allow extra drying or settling time after wet weather. Regional sourcing means material texture and color may vary, so request photos or samples if appearance matters.

Common uses include driveways and parking pads, patio and paver bases, erosion control along slopes, drainage trenches and French drains, and garden beds or landscape topping. For each project type, specify the intended depth and traffic level so you get the right mix of stability and drainage. If you need help sizing or planning, our team can provide quantity estimates and project guidance.

Materials are sourced regionally from local suppliers and quarries, and sometimes from recycled aggregates or local pits, which helps keep prices competitive and reflects local geology. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers so the delivered gravel, sand, dirt, stone mix will match what is common in West Alabama. Because of regional sourcing, expect some natural variation in color and texture.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and typically delivers with tri-axle dump trucks; access needs include a clear drive and enough turning room for a large truck. Remote or restricted-access sites may carry additional fees or require smaller trucks arranged in advance. Provide detailed access notes at checkout and contact customer service if you have tight turns, low-hanging wires, or soft ground.

Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety, slope, and access on arrival and determine whether spreading can be done. If spreading is important, note it in the order and plan for the possibility that you may need to finish distribution yourself or hire local labor.

Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before your order is processed and dispatched. Once the truck is loaded or on route, modifications may be limited and additional fees could apply. We will do our best to help and will direct you to our refund or order change policy for details.

Document the issue with photos and contact customer service promptly so we can review the order and work toward a resolution. Keep a small sample if possible and provide the delivery ticket or order number to speed up the process. We will coordinate with the supplier and hauler to address the problem in line with our issue resolution procedures.

Ask how many tons or cubic yards you need for your specified area and depth, whether the supplier can meet your requested delivery date, and what delivery fees or access restrictions apply to your zip code. Also ask about tailgate spreading availability, payment options, and sample photos of the material to confirm appearance. These specifics show buying intent and help get an accurate quote and smooth delivery.

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.
