Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Thomasville, AL

Homeowners and contractors in Thomasville typically choose from a range of bulk aggregates depending on the job: gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blended mixes. Selection depends on the project purpose—drainage, load bearing, decorative edging, or planting beds—so pick a material that balances function, appearance, and maintenance needs.

Thomasville’s warm, humid climate and summer rains mean drainage and stability are top priorities. Choose materials that shed water and compact well for driveways and paths, and pick lighter, well-draining mixes for planting beds to avoid root rot and pooling.

Avoid the rainiest months and the hottest stretches when possible—late fall through early spring (October through April) often offers more predictable conditions for heavy work. If you must work in summer, plan around rain forecasts and expect possible delays due to wet ground or heat-sensitive equipment.

A rough rule: a single-car driveway (about 10 ft by 20 ft) usually needs 2.5 to 4 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 to 6 tons) at 4" to 6" depth, while a two-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) typically needs 5 to 8 cubic yards (about 7 to 11 tons). These are estimates—measure your driveway area and desired depth, then use our material calculator or ask our team for a site-specific estimate.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days after ordering, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. We deliver via contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle), require a minimum order (3 tons), and can sometimes provide tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion—request this at checkout but note it is not guaranteed.

Start by identifying the primary need—drainage, support, or aesthetics—and then choose materials that meet those needs: well-draining mixes for water control, angular crushed materials for compaction and load-bearing, and finer or colored products for decorative areas. Consider maintenance, budget, and local soil conditions when making a final selection.

Minor resurfacing on private property often does not require a permit, but projects that change driveway access, curb cuts, stormwater runoff, or involve public right-of-way may need approval. Always check with Thomasville city hall or your local county offices before starting work to confirm permit requirements and any setback or drainage rules.

Thomasville properties can experience pooling during heavy rains and areas with clayey soils that hold moisture, both of which affect stability and erosion. Use materials and installation methods that improve drainage and resist washout—proper grading, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and adequate base depth help materials perform better over time.

Labor and equipment costs vary by project complexity, site access, and prep needed; smaller DIY jobs will be cheaper than full contractor installs with grading, compaction, and drainage work. For budgeting, expect labor and prep to add a noticeable portion to material costs—get multiple local quotes to compare scope and pricing for an accurate total.

Some local contractors offer full-service packages that include ordering materials, delivery coordination, site preparation, compaction, and finishing, while others only handle installation and expect you to supply materials. Always confirm the scope of work, who is responsible for delivery, compaction, permits, and cleanup, and get those details in writing.

Prices depend on the material type, seasonal demand, order size, and delivery distance; regional sourcing also affects texture and color. For current pricing, use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or request a local delivery estimate—this gives the most accurate per-ton or per-cubic-yard rates for your exact zip code.

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.
