Materials we deliver in Wheaton
Mulch
Mulch here is sold by the cubic yard. It suits the beds around older Wheaton homes, tree rings and playground borders, and it breaks down slowly enough to refresh once a year. Keep it a few inches back from house siding and tree trunks so moisture does not sit against the bark or the wall. See Mulch for the options.
Premium Screened Topsoil
Wheaton topsoil is sold by the ton. Screened soil is a good fit for patching lawns, filling raised beds and leveling low spots after a downspout or sump line project. Spread it in thin layers and rake each one level, since a single thick pile dries out unevenly and settles into dips. For Wheaton delivery, the Premium Screened Topsoil page has the specifics for Wheaton orders.
Pea Gravel
In Wheaton, pea gravel is also sold by the ton. Its small rounded stones work for walkways, patios, dog runs and drainage trenches beside foundations. Browse Pea Gravel to compare what is available.
Planning a project that uses more than one material, such as a gravel path through a new planting bed? Order the stone first, then the soil and mulch once the edging is set, so nothing gets tracked across finished work.
Minimum load and where the truck unloads
The smallest order is 2 units, meaning 2 cubic yards of mulch or 2 tons of topsoil or pea gravel. Dump trucks tip the load in one pile, so choose a spot on the street side of the property with open sky above it, so the pile has room to rise. Put a tarp or sheet of plywood down first if the pile will sit on a finished driveway or paving stones.
Serving Wheaton and the towns around it
We also deliver to nearby towns, including Naperville and Downers Grove at about 6 miles from Wheaton, Aurora at about 9 miles, and Bolingbrook and Schaumburg at about 12 miles. For the wider picture, read about delivery across Illinois.
Choosing between the three materials
If the goal is a surface you walk on, pea gravel is the answer. If it is something that grows, topsoil is the base and mulch is the finish on top. Many Wheaton projects use all three in sequence, and each page lets you price the load before you commit to it.
Local conditions that affect the job
Much of the Chicago area sits on heavy clay, so water lingers after storms. Where soil stays soggy, pea gravel under a path or around a downspout outlet gives runoff somewhere to go. Spring thaw and freeze cycles also move edging and loose stone, so many people schedule patio and walkway work for late spring or early fall, when the ground is firm and dry.

A planning figure, not a guarantee. Order roughly a tenth extra to cover settling and uneven ground.

How do I work out how much mulch my beds need?
Multiply the length, width and depth of each bed in feet, then divide the total by 27 to get cubic yards. For a Wheaton yard with several beds, total them before you place the order. Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, so the result maps straight onto what you buy, and a little extra is better than a second small trip.
How should I store leftover topsoil?
Keep the pile covered with a tarp so rain does not wash fines onto the pavement and the surface does not crust over. Weighting the edges stops wind from lifting the cover. Topsoil stays usable for a full season this way, so leftovers can go toward lawn patches or a new bed.
How is a ton different from a cubic yard?
Here in Wheaton, a ton measures weight at 2,000 pounds, and a cubic yard measures volume at 27 cubic feet. Topsoil and pea gravel on this site are sold by the ton, while mulch is sold by the cubic yard. Each product page states its unit, so you always know which one you are buying.
How thick should topsoil go on a bare lawn patch?
A layer of one to two inches is usually enough to level a patch before seeding. Rake it smooth, press it lightly so it contacts the soil underneath, and water gently. Piling it deeper than that can smother the grass edges and leave a hump that is hard to mow.
Which material is best for a path beside a Wheaton house?
Pea gravel is the usual pick for a walkway because the small rounded stones are comfortable underfoot and drain well. Lay landscape fabric first to hold back weeds, and install edging along both sides so the stones stay where you put them.
Can topsoil and mulch go on the same order?
Each material is ordered on its own page, so you add them as separate loads. That keeps the unit and price clear for each one. If both are headed to the same address, you can place the two orders back to back and use the same ZIP.
What if the weather turns bad after I order?
Wet ground is hard on trucks and on lawns, so a driver may ask to move a drop that would tear up soft turf. Tell us if the spot is unusually muddy so the delivery can be planned around it.
Do larger orders really lower the cost per unit?
Yes. The engine applies a lower rate per unit as the order grows, because one truck serving one stop is more efficient than several small runs. Try quantities such as 2, 6 and 10 units on a product page to see where the rate steps down for your ZIP.
