The checkout will show total cost, delivery options, and any additional fees before you pay.

For mulch, a common guideline is to apply about 3 inches for beds and avoid piling against plant stems, but other materials have different recommended depths. Decorative gravel or stone is often installed 1 to 3 inches for finished surfaces and several inches for a base layer on driveways or walkways. When planning, consider drainage, local frost conditions, and the specific function of the surface to choose the right depth.

Start by defining the project's purpose—drainage, erosion control, walking surfaces, planting beds, or driveway base—and pick a material that suits that function. Because we source regionally, local gravel, sand, dirt, and stone will reflect Warren County geology, so review pictures, ask for samples, and consult our sales team for recommendations. Also consider appearance, maintenance needs, and budget when comparing options.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on target depth, then convert the volume to cubic yards and to tons using a material-specific conversion. As a general rule, 1 cubic yard converts roughly to about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on the material, but exact weight varies. Use our online material calculator for a quick estimate and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for landscaping and construction, so order early if you have a firm start date. Standard delivery normally takes 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Also factor in weather and ground conditions, since heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles can affect delivery and installation timing.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done safely. If spreading is critical to your project, plan for a separate crew or confirm spreading options in advance.

For order changes, contact the team as soon as possible—changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched but cannot be guaranteed at all stages. Our team will work with you to find a satisfactory solution and explain next steps according to our policies.
