Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Walnut Grove, AL

Start by defining the function of the area (drive, walkway, drainage, decorative) and the look you want. Different aggregates perform differently under traffic and weather, so choose a material based on compaction needs, drainage, and appearance rather than a single product name. Ask our team or use the aggregate quiz to match your project to suitable options like gravel, sand, dirt, or stone and get guidance for local conditions.

Walnut Grove sits in a humid subtropical area where wet summers and occasional freezes can influence settling and drainage. Materials that drain well and compact reliably tend to last longer in this climate, while fine, loose materials may migrate or wash out in heavy rain. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so pick materials and installation methods that account for local soil and rainfall patterns.

Plan heavy grading and delivery for drier months to avoid working on saturated ground; spring and late fall rains can delay compaction and spreading. Freezing and thaw cycles are less severe than northern areas but can still affect newly placed material, so allow time for proper compaction and curing before heavy use. Also consider higher demand and limited truck availability during peak landscaping seasons—book early.

Measure the area in square feet, multiply by desired depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards (area x depth/324 = cubic yards). Convert cubic yards to tons using a general range of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material; a common rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons. Add 5-10% for compaction and waste, and contact us if you want help with the math.

Yes. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, and narrow lanes, low-hanging branches, soft shoulders, steep driveways, or gates can limit where a truck can safely dump. Difficult access may require smaller trucks, offloading in a safer spot, or additional labor, which can affect price. Add access notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can plan and give an accurate quote.

Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and uses local haulers and professional dump truck fleets, so availability can vary by zip code—check your zip at checkout. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and the supplier will confirm timing.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, access, and truck capabilities. Request spreading at checkout and note any site constraints; the driver will assess conditions upon arrival and proceed only if it can be done safely. If spreading is critical, consider hiring local labor or equipment in addition to delivery.

Many projects that change driveway footprint, alter drainage, or involve large fill amounts can trigger local county permits or HOA rules even in small towns. Check with the Marion County offices, your homeowner association, or local road authority before ordering to confirm any easements, weight limits, or permit requirements. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help point you to local resources.

Plan for labor, equipment rental (compact rollers, skid steers), grading, compaction, and any erosion or drainage work—these add to material costs. Site prep like vegetation removal, hauling off old material, or repair to soft access areas can also increase the total. Get quotes for both material delivery and installation so you can compare total project costs.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
