Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in West Point, AL

Homeowners and contractors in West Point typically order a mix of bulk materials for yards and job sites, including gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. These materials are used for driveways, patios, grading, drainage solutions, and garden beds. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so ask for local options when ordering.

Pick materials based on the function you need: drainage, load-bearing, finish appearance, or erosion control. Consider local climate (wet, humid summers), expected traffic, and how much maintenance you want, then use Hello Gravel's material calculator or talk to our team for guidance. If you are unsure, describe the project and we can suggest a few suitable options.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, access, and amount, and many areas qualify for free delivery—check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing.

Alabama's hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rains influence compaction, washout risk, and vegetation growth around materials. For sloped areas or places with poor drainage choose coarser, more stable aggregates and plan for proper grading and drainage features. Expect some regional color and texture variation and allow for occasional maintenance after heavy storms.

Plan major earthwork and installation for late fall through early spring when temperatures are milder and heavy summer storms are less common. Avoid the hottest and wettest months if possible, as rain can delay deliveries and make spread work harder. For time-sensitive jobs, consider the next-day delivery option and build extra time into your schedule for weather.

Permit and driveway rules vary by city and county, so check with West Point city hall or the local county public works before starting a project. Common issues include right-of-way restrictions, culvert or driveway apron requirements, weight limits on private or public roads, and HOA rules. If you are unsure, call your local office or include a note at checkout so we can flag potential delivery access concerns.

A typical single-car driveway needs about 6 to 12 cubic yards of material depending on width, length, and depth, while a double-car driveway commonly needs 12 to 20 cubic yards. Material-only cost in West Alabama varies by material and supplier, so expect a wide range; multiplying the cubic yards by local per-yard pricing gives the best estimate. For a precise number use our material calculator or request a quote with your driveway dimensions.

Contractors often combine grading, geotextile fabric, and appropriately sized aggregates to control erosion and improve drainage. Solutions include using coarser materials at outfalls, building swales or French drain systems, and stabilizing slopes with layered aggregates and vegetation. The right approach depends on slope, soil type, and rainfall patterns, so share site conditions when you ask for recommendations.

Local haulers deliver via dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and can sometimes perform tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion if access and safety allow. Spreading services are not guaranteed and may incur an additional fee that varies by job size, site access, and local hauler policies. Request spreading during checkout and ask for a cost estimate if you need guaranteed spreading or full install services.

Material-only orders cover the cost of the aggregates plus delivery, while supply-and-install bids add labor, equipment, grading, compaction, and cleanup. Contractors often charge per cubic yard for materials and either a per-hour or per-project labor fee for installation, so get separate line-item quotes to compare. Always confirm what services are included and whether permits or hauling permits are covered in the estimate.

Many common aggregates are sourced regionally, so gravel, sand, dirt, and stone often reflect local geology and are readily available in West Alabama. Specialty or decorative materials may need to be hauled from neighboring areas and could increase lead time and delivery cost. Check availability for your zip code during checkout or ask our team for alternatives that match your look and budget.

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.
