Communication was great. After placing an order I got a phone call to confirm what I ordered and the location. 2 days later, the rocks were delivered and placed where I wanted them. Would definitely use this service again!

The delivery was later than the expected time frame, but they still delivered it and the driver even pulled forward as he dumped the gravel load, so that made spreading it a lot easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.
We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.
Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.
The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.
Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.
We recommend a 3-inch layer for optimal weed suppression and moisture retention. Applying more than 4 inches can actually harm plants by preventing water and air from reaching the roots.
Our dyed mulch holds its color for a full season (8-12 months) thanks to UV-resistant colorants. Natural brown mulch will gradually fade to gray. Refreshing with a thin top layer each spring keeps beds looking sharp.
