How ordering and pricing work
Each product page shows the delivered price without waiting on a quote: enter your ZIP and it shows what that material costs delivered to your address. The figure already covers the trip, so what you see is what you pay for the material. Ordering more of the same product lowers the rate per unit, which is why one bigger order usually beats two small ones.
The smallest order is 2 units of whatever material you pick, in the unit its page lists.
Planning the drop
Look at the spot before you order. A truck needs a clear path in and room overhead, so trim low branches and move vehicles off the driveway the night before. Piles go down on a hard, level surface better than on lawn, and a tarp underneath keeps soil or mulch from staining pavers. If you want the load spread in more than one place, plan on a wheelbarrow and a helper, since the truck dumps in one spot.
Pocatello conditions worth planning around
Pocatello is a city of about 58,000 sitting in a southeast Idaho valley, and the seasons are real. Winters freeze the ground and summers dry it out fast, so base layers under walkways and patios do best with good drainage. Soil work is easiest once the ground has thawed and is no longer soggy.
Who orders from us in Pocatello
Most Pocatello orders fall into a few familiar jobs. A homeowner refreshes front beds before listing the house. A landscaper needs a topsoil load for a new lawn and a pea gravel run beside it. A small contractor wants drainage stone at a foundation without renting a truck for the day. In every case the work goes better when the material shows up in one drop, close to where it will be used, rather than in twenty bagged trips.
Pocatello yards vary a lot, from older lots with mature trees to newer subdivisions with bare ground and little shade. That mix shapes what people buy. Established properties tend to need mulch and the occasional load of soil to patch worn areas, while fresh lots usually start with topsoil to get grass established and stone for the paths and drainage that follow. Think about which of those describes your property, and you will know which material page to open first. Anything you are unsure about is easier to settle on the product page, where the specs and photos sit beside the delivered price.

Can I mix materials in one delivery to my Pocatello address?
If you are doing a bed makeover, open each material from its product page and enter the same ZIP on each. Every material is priced on its own page for that ZIP, which keeps the pricing clear and lets you size each one separately.
How deep should mulch go around a tree?
A layer of two to three inches is typical for beds. Around trees, keep mulch pulled back a few inches from the trunk so the bark stays dry, and spread it out toward the drip line rather than piling it up in a cone. Refresh thin spots each year instead of adding a thick new layer over the old one.
Which goes in a new bed first, topsoil or mulch?
Topsoil suits seeding and mulch suits beds that are already planted.
What if I am unsure how much topsoil to buy for a lawn patch?
Measure the length and width in feet, decide on a depth in inches, and and the product page converts that measurement into the unit topsoil is sold in. Soil settles as it waters in, so a slightly generous order is safer than coming up short. Small patches may still need the 2-ton minimum.
Is pea gravel a good base under a patio in Pocatello?
Pea gravel works as a drainage layer and for loose-fill paths, but rounded stones shift under heavy load. For a patio that will carry furniture or foot traffic, many people use it only as a bed for drainage and add a compactable base on top. Check the product page for guidance on your project.
Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?
It helps to be reachable by phone while the truck is on its way, in case the driver has a question. You do not need to stand at the curb for the whole delivery. If your property has a gate, a code or a tight turn, mention it when you order so the driver is not left guessing at the door.
When is the best season to spread mulch in Pocatello?
Spring, once the soil has warmed and weeds are just starting, gives the most benefit. A fresh layer then shades the ground through the dry months. A top-up in fall helps insulate roots before the first hard freeze, though you will need less than the first time.
Can I order for a rental property or a job site instead of my home?
Yes. The delivery address is whatever you enter, so a rental, a jobsite or a relative's yard all work. The person placing the order does not have to be the person living there, and the order is placed the same way either way. Use the ZIP for that address on the product page.
