Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Albany, LA

Homeowners in Albany often order common aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for projects including driveways, drainage improvements, garden beds, and base material for patios or pavers. These materials serve different functions (drainage, compaction, top dressing and aesthetics), so choose based on the job rather than appearance alone.

Pick materials based on the purpose: drainage-friendly mixes for wet spots, well-graded base material for load-bearing areas, and finer top dressing for planting beds. Albany’s hot, humid weather and heavy rains mean you should prioritize drainage and erosion resistance; our material quiz and sales team can help match a material to your site conditions.

Typical orders vary by project size: small garden beds often need 1-2 cubic yards, walkways or small patios 2-6 cubic yards, and driveways 10-30 cubic yards depending on width and depth. Use a material calculator or provide project dimensions to our team for a more accurate estimate.

Prices vary by material, distance, truck size and seasonal demand, but homeowners in West Louisiana typically see broad ranges rather than fixed prices. Expect lower-cost materials and short-haul deliveries at the low end, and specialty material or long hauls at the high end; contact us for an exact quote for your zip code and project.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Albany (primary zip 70711) and nearby zip codes such as 70744, 70754, 70451 and others listed at checkout. We manage matching, scheduling and pricing so you get local material sourced to reflect West Louisiana geology.

Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days after ordering, and a next-day option is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select a preferred date at checkout and you'll receive delivery confirmation, but exact timing depends on local hauler schedules and road conditions.

Hello Gravel generally requires a minimum order (check your zip code for current minimums), and many local suppliers and fleets offer options that work for homeowners such as partial-truck or smaller truck deliveries. Availability of small loads varies by location and material; if you need less than a typical truckload, contact our team for options.

Local rules can affect deliveries and material use: check with the City of Albany, Ascension Parish (if applicable), and any HOA for driveway permits, right-of-way restrictions, curb cut rules and allowable delivery times. Tell our team about any site rules at order time so the hauler can plan accordingly.

Because we source regionally, appearance and texture can vary with local geology, so materials may not match photos exactly. If color or texture is important, note preferences in your order or ask to see a local sample before the delivery.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on equipment, site access and safety considerations. If you need full spreading, grading or other installation help, we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor and noting any assistance needs in your order.

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.

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.
