The materials and their units

What to know before you order
Every order starts at 2 units: 2 tons for topsoil, 2 cubic yards for mulch and compost. The price you see is delivered, so it already covers getting the load to your door. Ordering more lowers the rate per unit, which helps if you are doing several beds in one project.
Plan the drop before you pay. A driveway apron, a side yard with a clear path or a spot beside the curb all work, as long as the truck can get in and tip. Name the exact place in the order notes. Many Chino Hills lots sit above the street, so think about whether you will be carrying material uphill.
Hills, slopes and soil
Much of the city is built on rolling ground, and that changes how you use bulk material. On a slope, mulch and compost can wash downhill in a hard rain unless you work them in or hold them with edging. A gravel layer at the base of a slope can slow runoff and give water somewhere to go. Spread topsoil in thin passes and rake it level before you seed.
Check your homeowners association rules before changing a front yard. Some neighborhoods have guidelines on ground covers and stone color.
Putting the four materials together
Most backyard projects use more than one product. A typical sequence starts with stone where drainage matters, then topsoil to build the planting areas, then compost mixed into the top layer of soil, and finally mulch as the finishing cover. Doing it in that order means nothing gets buried or tracked into the wrong place.
Because the units differ, take each area one at a time. Measure it, choose a depth for that material and size the order from that figure alone. Resist the urge to convert between tons and cubic yards in your head, since stone, soil and wood products all weigh differently for the same volume.
If you are working alone, stagger the deliveries over a weekend or two. A pile of topsoil is easier to spread before the next truck arrives, and your driveway stays usable in between.

Which product should I choose for a new lawn?
Start with Premium Screened Topsoil to build a level, loose bed, then seed or lay sod on top. Compost can be mixed into the soil first if the ground is tired. Mulch is for finished beds, not for the lawn itself, so leave it for the planting areas.
Can I mix products in one order?
Each material is ordered on its own page and arrives as its own delivery. If your project needs topsoil and mulch, place two orders and time them close together if you want to finish in one weekend.
What is the difference between compost and topsoil?
How do I keep weeds down under mulch?
Clear the existing weeds and roots first, then lay the mulch thick enough to block light. Pull any seedlings that push through while they are small, before the roots set. Keep the mulch a few inches back from stems and trunks so the bark stays dry.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Not always, but it helps to be reachable on the day in case the driver has a question. If you are away, ask a neighbor or family member to be there, and look over the pile when you get back so any concern is raised early.
Can I use mulch and compost together on one bed?
Yes. Work the compost feeds the plants, while mulch holds moisture and slows weeds. Because they are different materials, they are ordered separately.
Can pea gravel be used for a driveway?
Pea gravel is rounded, so it tends to shift under tires and is better for walkways, patios, play zones and drainage layers than for a driveway. A driveway usually calls for angular stone that locks together. Check the product page for how the stone is described.
What can I do with leftover compost?
Spread it thinly over a tired lawn, mix it into vegetable beds, or top up a container garden. If you are not ready to use it, cover the pile with a tarp so rain does not leach it and weed seeds do not blow in.
