Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Warrior, AL

Choose materials based on appearance, drainage needs, and maintenance. For most home projects in Warrior, gravel, sand, dirt, stone are commonly used options and each can serve as a base, surface, or filler depending on the application. If you need low maintenance and good drainage, select coarser, well-draining mixes; for smoothing or grading choose finer materials. When in doubt, use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project.

Start by measuring the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get a volume in cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards by dividing by 27. For example, a 20x40 foot driveway at 4 inches deep is about 10 cubic yards; our online calculator will convert that to tons and recommend a minimum order. Hello Gravel’s calculator and sales team can help adjust for compaction, slope, and waste so you order the right amount. Aim to order a little extra for grading and compaction or to match elevation needs.

Warrior has a warm, humid climate with occasional freezes, so materials that handle moisture and seasonal movement perform best. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes with good drainage resist rutting and erosion during heavy rain, while finer materials can compact and hold moisture. Choose materials and installation practices that allow water to drain away from structures and avoid frost-sensitive mixes in spots that hold water. Regional sourcing means texture and color will reflect local geology, so expect some variation.

Spring and fall are generally the best times for large deliveries and installations because conditions are milder and ground is easier to work with. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rain periods or when the ground is saturated to reduce tracking, rutting, and delivery delays. If you need urgent material, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST, but weather can still affect timing. Plan ahead and choose a delivery date during drier, cooler windows when possible.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and delivery costs vary by location and material. We source materials regionally and work with local haulers, so check your zip code (primary zip 35180) for exact pricing and availability at checkout. Drivers use dump trucks (commonly tri-axle) and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested.

Local rules can vary, so check with Warrior city offices or Blount County before scheduling very large deliveries that may use public roads or require oversized loads. Be aware of narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, culverts, shared drives, or weight-restricted bridges that can limit safe truck access. Tell us about access constraints when you order so we can notify the hauler and avoid surprises on delivery day. If you belong to an HOA, confirm any surface or material restrictions before ordering.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading as a courtesy, but this service is performed at their discretion and depends on safety and site conditions. Request spreading at checkout and be ready to accept the material placement the driver can safely achieve; Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading or precise placement. Standard deliveries are made by dump truck; please clear the drop area, mark obstacles, and provide a clear access route to speed unloading. If you need precise placement or spreading, consider hiring a local installer.

Select materials with good drainage and appropriate particle size for the specific problem: mixes that shed water work well on slopes and around foundations, while denser materials can stabilize pathways and driveways. Combining materials in layers—coarser base with a finer surface—often balances drainage and finish appearance. For long-term low maintenance, choose products that resist washout and require minimal replenishing in heavy rain seasons. We can advise on material blends that match West Alabama soils and rainfall patterns.

Labor costs vary by project size and local contractor rates, but small landscape jobs may start in the low hundreds while larger driveways or grading projects can run into the thousands. Many contractors in the area price by the hour or per project; expect installers to factor in site prep, hauling, compaction, and finishing. For accurate budgeting, get multiple quotes and share the material type, volume, and access details so estimates account for delivery and labor. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and you can request contractor referrals if needed.

Contractors often order through regional suppliers and schedule dump-truck deliveries that match the job timeline to minimize onsite stockpiling. They generally work with local haulers familiar with area roads and site access, and they communicate placement preferences and timing with the supplier. Hello Gravel streamlines this by matching you with local suppliers and haulers and offering scheduled delivery windows and a material calculator to plan orders. For large or phased jobs, coordinate deliveries in stages to keep the site manageable and reduce waste.

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.
