Bulk deliveries are almost always cheaper per cubic yard or ton than bagged material, especially for larger projects. Bagged products are convenient for small jobs, storage, and easier handling, but they cost more per unit and create extra packaging to dispose of. Check delivery fees and storage space when deciding which option works best.

Yes. For topdressings like mulch or decorative rock, 2 to 3 inches is common; for base layers such as crushed stone under pavers, 3 to 6 inches compacted is typical, and driveways often need 6 inches or more of compacted base. Local climate and use (foot traffic versus vehicle load) will change recommended depths, so plan accordingly and ask our team if you need a tailored recommendation.

It depends on the bag size and material density, but most landscaping 40-pound bags hold about 1.5 to 2 cubic feet. That works out to roughly 13 to 18 bags per cubic yard as a general rule. Heavier, denser materials pack differently, so use our material calculator or ask for a quick conversion for your specific material.

Organic materials stored outdoors can attract insects or pests if they sit against foundation walls or in moist piles, so proper storage is important. Bagged products are sealed but can still harbor eggs or insects if stored improperly, so keep bags off the ground, away from the house, and use them within a reasonable time. For projects near structures, consider non-organic options or take extra precautions to reduce pest risk.

Think about function first: drainage and weed control favor coarser materials, while fine materials are better for leveling or planting beds. Consider load-bearing needs (driveways or paths need a stable base), appearance preferences, budget, and how the Del Rio climate (dry summers, occasional heavy rains) will affect erosion and settling. Use our aggregate quiz and contact sales for project-specific suggestions and local material examples.

You order online, choose a delivery date on the checkout calendar, and we connect you with a local supplier and hauler who will confirm details. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day is available for qualifying orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Allow time for site access, a clear drop zone, and any permits or HOA rules before scheduling to avoid delays.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival and may decline if conditions or equipment make spreading unsafe. For consistent spreading, plan to hire a local landscaper or spreading crew if you need precise distribution.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). Use our online material calculator for quick estimates and round up slightly to account for compaction and waste. If you prefer, send your dimensions to our team and we can help verify quantities and recommend a delivery amount that meets our 3-ton minimum.
