Gravel delivery in Auburn, WA and the other materials we bring
Five materials are available here. Each one is sold in its own unit, so check the line before you size an order.

Small rounded stone for paths, play areas, drain trenches and pipe bedding. Auburn orders of pea gravel are sold by the ton.
Fill Dirt
Bulk fill for leveling low spots, backfilling around foundations and building up a pad. In Auburn, fill dirt is sold by the ton.
Premium Screened Topsoil
Screened soil for new lawns, raised beds and patching bare ground. Topsoil bought for Auburn lawns is sold by the ton.

Dark organic material to work into beds and vegetable plots. For Auburn beds, compost is sold by the cubic yard.

How ordering works from Auburn
Orders start at 2 units, meaning that is 2 tons for pea gravel, fill dirt and topsoil, and 2 cubic yards for the two yard-based products. Bigger loads are priced lower per unit, so combining a few small jobs into one delivery often beats ordering twice. Your ZIP decides everything else, and the delivered figure appears on the product page before you commit. Nothing is hidden until checkout.
Auburn is close to a cluster of other cities: Tacoma is about 11 miles away, Burien 13, Renton 14, Kent 15 and Federal Way 16. If you are working a property in one of them, the same ordering steps apply, and the page for that city shows its own materials. For the wider picture, see our delivery across Washington.
Planning the drop at an Auburn property
Before the truck comes, walk the route it would take, look up for wires and branches, and choose a flat, hard spot where the pile can sit without blocking a neighbor. A tarp or a few boards under the pile protects pavers and keeps the base of the pile cleaner.
Puget Sound winters are wet, so a pile left uncovered for weeks turns heavy and muddy. Spread soil, compost and mulch soon after they arrive, and cover whatever you cannot move right away.
Typical weekend jobs in Auburn
A typical weekend job here pairs two or three products. A back-fence regrade might call for fill dirt, then topsoil, then a seed mix. A front-yard refresh often means compost worked into the existing beds and a fresh layer of mulch. A side-yard path or a French drain leans on pea gravel alone. Deciding which load goes down first keeps the work in a sensible order.
Sizing your order
Measure the area in feet, multiply by the depth you want, and convert to the unit on the product page. Round up a little, because the material settles once it is raked and watered in. Ordering slightly over is easier than paying for a second truck to finish the last corner.
Gravel, soil and mulch around the White River valley
Low ground near the valley floor can stay soft after heavy rain, so fill dirt and pea gravel are common choices for firming up a base or a drainage line.
How much do you need?
Work out your material
A planning figure, not a guarantee. Order roughly a tenth extra to cover settling and uneven ground.

Can I split one delivery between two materials?
Each material is ordered as its own line, and each line starts at 2 units. If you want pea gravel and compost for the same weekend, place both orders for your Auburn address and the page shows the delivered price for each. Mixing the two on one property is common for a garden refresh.
Which material suits a vegetable bed?
Premium Screened Topsoil is the usual base for a raised bed, since it is screened and loose enough for roots. Many gardeners blend it with compost for extra organic matter, then top the bed with mulch. Each of the three has its own product page with details on how it is sold.
Is pea gravel good for a path?
Yes, it is a common choice for garden paths, patios and play areas because the stones are small and rounded. It shifts underfoot more than crushed stone does, so many people set an edging along both sides to keep it where it belongs. Pea gravel for an Auburn path is sold by the ton.
Why does the unit change between materials?
Heavier materials such as pea gravel, fill dirt and topsoil are sold by the ton, while lighter organic products such as compost and mulch are sold by the cubic yard. The product page for your Auburn ZIP states the unit, so there is no need to convert anything yourself.
How thick should a mulch layer be?
A layer of about two to three inches is a common target for beds and tree rings. Thinner coverage lets weeds through, while a much thicker one can smother roots. Keep mulch a few inches back from trunks and stems so moisture does not sit against the bark, and top it up when it thins.
Can I use fill dirt as topsoil?
How do I keep weeds out of a gravel path?
Lay landscape fabric over a compacted base before the stone goes on, and set edging along both sides so the gravel stays in place. Pull any seedlings that blow in early, while the roots are small. A path with a firm base and clean edges needs far less upkeep over the years.
Do I need to be home when the order arrives?
Being reachable is the important part. Make sure the driver can contact you if something blocks the way, and mention any narrow gate, low branch or tight turn when you order so it is known in advance. You do not have to stand in the driveway while the load comes off the truck.
