A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft. For 3 inches of mulch you need about 3.7 cubic yards; for 4 inches of topsoil you need about 4.9 cubic yards. Material plus delivery typically runs between $150 and $400 for mulch and $150 and $500 for topsoil, with spreading or grading adding roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft depending on site prep and contractor rates in West Florida.

Volumes for 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 = 6.17 cubic yards, 3u0022 = 9.26 cubic yards, 4u0022 = 12.35 cubic yards. Weight varies by material and moisture: topsoil commonly weighs about 1.0 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (so roughly 6.2–17.3 tons across those depths), and mulch typically weighs about 0.3 to 0.5 tons per cubic yard (so roughly 1.9–6.2 tons); use cubic yards for ordering and ask our team for a weight estimate if you need ton pricing.

For mulch, 2 inches provides basic weed suppression but 3 inches is a better target for long-term weed control and moisture retention in West Florida's hot, humid climate. For topsoil used to build planting beds or establish new turf, 2 inches is generally too thin; aim for 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil for planting and lawn establishment.

The most economical options are usually natural shredded hardwood mulch and screened local topsoil or loam. Delivered prices in West Florida commonly fall in the $20 to $30 per cubic yard range for basic mulch and $20 to $40 per cubic yard for screened topsoil; exact pricing depends on local suppliers and delivery distance, so check your zip code for firm rates.

Hello Gravel's standard minimum for bulk delivered material is 3 tons, which often equals a few cubic yards depending on the product. If you need less than the minimum, many local suppliers sell bagged products or smaller vendor lots; check the product pages for bagged options or contact our customer service and we will try to match you with a local supplier who offers smaller quantities.

Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not provide full installation services directly. Some local suppliers or contractors can handle grading, geotextile installation, and spreading; in West Florida expect basic spreading and light grading to run about $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft, while more involved grading or geotextile work will cost more—get local contractor bids for precise pricing.

In San Antonio's warm, humid climate mulch decomposes faster than in cooler areas; plan to refresh decorative mulch every 12 to 24 months for appearance and weed control. Color-enhanced or hardwood mulches may last longer than fine shredded mulch, and annual top-ups of a thin layer are common to maintain depth and coverage.

Smaller deliveries using a dump trailer may be possible depending on the local hauler and site access. Note that most Hello Gravel deliveries are by tri-axle dump truck; special equipment requests (7x14 trailer, hand placement, or gate access) should be noted at checkout and may incur additional fees or require a phone call to confirm feasibility with the local supplier.

Materials reflect local sourcing, so color, texture, and particle size can vary by supplier and region in West Florida. We recommend adding color or material preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and contacting customer service before ordering if you need a specific look; we will do our best to match your request but cannot guarantee an exact match to photos.
