Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications.

Why Valleyhead Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Valleyhead is a small community with a city population of 600, located in a region tied to a metro area population of 2.3+ million that shapes supply and hauling options. A 0.40% annually growth rate points to steady, measured development—enough to sustain renovation, landscaping, and smaller new-build projects without the pressures of a rapid boom. In USDA hardiness zone 8b with 152/year sunny days and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners need materials that balance drainage, durability, and plant establishment. That combination of sun and moderate rain means thinking beyond appearance: base materials, topsoil blends, mulch, and drainage aggregates must perform through wet spells and long dry periods. Regional sourcing influences texture and color, so choosing quality bulk materials that suit local soils and weather reduces callbacks and extends the life of driveways, beds, and grading work.Popular Projects in Valleyhead This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Valleyhead Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Valleyhead.
Customers in Valleyhead typically order a mix of materials for outdoor projects, including gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. Use cases include base layers for driveways, top dressing for landscape beds, grading and fill, and erosion control. Choose materials based on load, drainage needs and appearance, and consult our material quiz or sales team for guidance.
Valleyhead is in a humid subtropical climate with frequent rain, so prioritize materials that shed water and compact well when needed. For most projects, a layered approach (stable base, drainage layer, and surface aggregate) helps performance. If you have drainage concerns or standing water, note that when ordering and contact our team for recommendations.
Most of our network focuses on bulk delivery, but some suppliers and local contractors can provide installation, grading, or spreading services. Hello Gravel can connect you with providers that offer installation in your area or help you find contractors who handle both supply and install. Always confirm scope and pricing with the supplier or contractor before booking.
Our platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which reflects common supplier minimums in the region. Many deliveries in West Alabama have little or no delivery fee for standard short-haul drops, but fees can apply for next-day service, long hauls, small orders or difficult access. Enter your zip code or request a quote to see exact pricing for your address.
Spring and fall are often preferred for outdoor projects because soils are easier to work with and weather is milder. Summer in Valleyhead can be hot and humid with afternoon storms, and very wet periods make compaction and grading harder. Plan ahead, avoid scheduling during forecasted heavy rain, and allow a few extra days when ordering for weather-related delays.
Some properties in the Valleyhead area have clay-rich soils, uneven grades, or slopes that increase erosion risk; these local conditions influence which aggregates and installation techniques work best. For sloped sites you may want improved erosion control, better draining layers, or heavier material in high-traffic areas. We recommend a site assessment or photos at checkout so our team can suggest suitable options.
Permitting and HOA rules vary by county and neighborhood, so check with local county planning offices and your HOA before starting work. Restrictions commonly address driveway width, impervious surface limits, and visible surface material types. Hello Gravel can supply material details you can use when applying for permits or approvals.
As a rough rule, coverage varies by material and depth: many crushed aggregates cover about 80 to 100 square feet per ton at 1 inch depth, while looser materials like sand or loose dirt may cover 60 to 80 square feet per ton at 1 inch. Use our online material calculator for a precise estimate, allow extra for compaction and grading, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. Safety, access, truck type, and local site conditions determine whether spreading can be done, so this is not guaranteed. If spreading is essential, arrange it in advance and confirm with the supplier or contractor.
Materials in Valleyhead reflect local geology, so color, grain size and texture can vary from photos and across deliveries. This natural variation is normal for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. If color or texture is important for your project, note preferences in Order Notes or contact our team to discuss available options or samples.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
