Who orders in Florissant
Many orders here come from long-time homeowners who have kept the same house for years and want to freshen the yard without renting a truck. Others come from small crews doing rental turnovers, church lots and the odd storm repair, where a delivered load beats a trip to a yard. Because the neighborhoods are mostly built out, jobs tend to be small and precise: one bed, one walkway, one sunken spot beside the garage. The ordering page is made for that kind of project, with clear units and a price tied to the address.
Reading the delivered price
The number on the product page is the full delivered amount for the ZIP you enter, so there is no separate trucking line to chase. Larger orders carry a lower rate per unit, which is worth knowing if the front and back beds can share one drop. Every order starts at 2 units: 2 tons for topsoil or pea gravel, 2 cubic yards for mulch.
Working around older lots
Florissant lots often have narrow driveways with mature trees on both sides. Before you order, look up at the branches over the spot where the truck would stand, because a dump bed needs clearance to lift. A driveway with overhead limbs may mean placing the pile at the curb or on a flatter stretch near the garage. Walk the path from the pile to the work area once, so you know whether a wheelbarrow will fit through the gate.
Cities close to Florissant
St. Charles is about 10 miles from Florissant, Saint Louis about 14 miles, St. Peters roughly 15 miles from Florissant and O'Fallon about 21 miles. If your project is closer to one of those, use its page for the right ZIP. Our delivery across Missouri page lists the other cities in the state.
Soil and weather in the St. Louis area
The ground here is clay heavy and compacts easily when it is wet. Dumping a load onto saturated turf leaves ruts that take a season to heal, so wait until the lawn firms up. Freeze and thaw cycles in winter heave edging and thin gravel layers, which makes a fresh layer of pea gravel in early spring a common touch-up for walkways. Keep new topsoil loose and level so water soaks in rather than running to the street.
Choosing between the three
If the goal is looks and weed control, mulch is the answer. If something needs to grow, topsoil comes first. If the job is about footing or drainage, pea gravel does the work. Plenty of Florissant projects use two of them together, such as topsoil to build up a bed and mulch to finish it, and the same ZIP check covers each product.

Which material is best for a bare patch under a big shade tree?
Shaded patches struggle because roots take the water and light is scarce. A thin layer of screened topsoil lets you reseed with a shade grass mix, but a bed of mulch is often the better answer. Mulch protects roots and removes the mowing problem completely.
How many cubic yards of mulch do I need for a typical bed?
Multiply the bed's length by its width in feet, then by the depth in inches, and divide the total by 324. For example, a bed that is ten feet by ten feet at three inches comes to about one cubic yard. Since the minimum is 2 cubic yards, you may have enough for several beds.
Do I need to remove old grass before topsoil goes down?
For a patch repair, scrape off dead turf and loosen the surface so new soil can bond with the old. For a full lawn renovation, cut the grass short first and rake out the thatch. Spread the topsoil evenly, smooth it with the back of a rake, and seed or lay sod soon after.
Should I put landscape fabric under mulch or pea gravel?
Fabric is optional. It slows weeds under pea gravel paths and gravel beds, but it can tangle with roots and trap soil in planting beds. For mulch beds, a thicker layer usually does the same job without fabric. If you use it, overlap the seams by several inches and pin it flat.
What if I order more than I end up using?
Leftover topsoil or pea gravel keeps well in a pile if you cover it with a tarp. Many homeowners use extra for low spots or edges later in the year. Mulch can be spread thin over the beds or kept for a future refresh.
How should I prepare the area before the truck arrives?
Clear vehicles, bins and toys from the drop zone and remove low obstacles. Mark the spot with chalk or a cone so the driver can see it from the street. A prepared site means the driver spends less time at your address.
Does gravel size matter for walkways?
Yes. Smaller rounded stones like pea gravel are gentle on bare feet and pet paws but spread out under heavy foot traffic, so a border or edging keeps them in place. Plan a layer of two inches or more.
Can I order for a church lot or small commercial site?
Yes. Enter the ZIP of the site where the material will go, and the product page shows the delivered price for that address. The same units and the same 2 unit minimum apply, so a small parking edge or planting strip can be ordered the same way as a home yard.
