Materials we deliver in Grand Junction
Three products are listed for the city. Mind the unit on each, since they are not all sold the same way.
Pea Gravel, by the ton
Small and rounded, this stone is a good fit for walkways, dog runs and decorative beds. Start at the Pea Gravel page.
Premium Screened Topsoil, by the ton
Screened to take out rocks and clods, it suits new lawns, gardens and planter boxes. See the Premium Screened Topsoil page.
Mulch, by the cubic yard
Spread over beds and around trees, it holds moisture in the ground. The Mulch page has details.
How the delivered price and minimum work
Grand Junction is a long haul from the metro areas, so a generic price would mislead. The engine works out a figure for your ZIP and displays it with delivery already included. In Grand Junction, larger orders earn a lower rate per unit.
The minimum is 2 units, meaning 2 tons of gravel or topsoil, or 2 cubic yards of mulch. We do not list any smaller order.
Gravel delivery in Grand Junction and the desert climate
The Grand Valley is high desert, with low rainfall, hot summers and ground that can be alkaline and hard. That shapes how you use each material. Topsoil dries fast in the sun, so plan to water new lawns and beds right after spreading. Mulch earns its keep here by slowing evaporation around plants. Gravel is a natural fit for water-wise landscaping and requires little upkeep once it is down.
Irrigation ditches and canals run through much of the valley. If your property has a ditch easement or an irrigation line, keep piles and new grade clear of it and check how water will flow before you shape the ground.
Choosing between the three materials
builds up and prepares planting areas. Mulch covers and protects what is already growing. Pea gravel covers ground where you do not want anything to grow, such as a path or a patio border. Many yards use all three in different corners, and each is ordered from its own page.
Retail yards on the Western Slope can be a drive across town, and a pickup bed holds far less than a truck. For a project with real volume, such as a full back yard, a delivered load saves several trips and keeps your vehicle clean.
Drop spot and access
The truck unloads by tipping its bed, so it needs open sky above the drop spot and a firm surface under the wheels. Gravel driveways and paved aprons are ideal. Large trees near the street can limit the angle, so pick a spot clear of branches and wires. Note gates, steep drives or soft shoulders in your order so the driver can plan the approach.

Why is my price different from what a Denver customer sees?
The engine prices each order from the ZIP you enter, so the figure reflects the trip to Grand Junction rather than a statewide average. Two customers in different cities will see different delivered prices for the same material. Enter your own ZIP on the product page to see the number that applies to you.
Is topsoil a good choice for the alkaline ground here?
What kind of stone suits a xeriscape bed?
Pea gravel is a common choice because it looks tidy, drains freely and does not break down. Spread it over fabric around drought-tolerant plants and edge the bed so stones stay put. Pick light or dark tones to match your house, and keep gravel away from plant crowns.
How much mulch should I spread around trees?
Keep it from piling against the trunk, which can trap moisture and invite rot. Pull the mulch back a hand's width from the bark and spread it outward over the root zone. Here in Grand Junction, refresh it every year or two as it breaks down and thins out.
Can I order for a rental or a second property?
Yes. Use the ZIP of the property receiving the material, not your home ZIP. The delivered price and the minimum are based on where it lands, so confirm the address before you pay. Make sure someone can show the driver the drop spot if you are not there.
How do I keep gravel from drifting into my lawn?
Set an edge before the stone goes down, using steel or plastic edging, or a row of pavers along the lawn side. Rake the gravel level and keep it a little below the edge so it does not spill. A quick rake after heavy foot traffic sends strays back into the bed.
Does mulch attract termites or pests?
Wood mulch can hold moisture, and a thick layer against the house is not a good idea. Keep a gap of several inches between mulch and siding or foundation, and use a stone border there if you like. In the dry valley climate this is less of a worry than in wetter regions.
Can I mix gravel and topsoil in one delivery?
Each material is ordered separately and arrives as its own load, so they would not be mixed in the truck. If you want a blend, spread them on site and mix them with a shovel or tiller. Each order still meets the 2 unit minimum for its own material.
