Premium Screened Topsoil
Screened topsoil is sold by the ton and is a good fit for fixing bare patches and building up low areas before seeding. Visit Premium Screened Topsoil to order.
Mulch
Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, which makes it easy to match to a bed or tree ring. The Mulch page lists the choices.
Ground and weather around Taylor
Flat downriver lots drain slowly, and many yards stay wet well into spring. If a garden bed or path sits in a low corner, building it up a little with topsoil or setting stone under it keeps roots and footing out of standing water. Freezing nights early in the season can stiffen a pile, so spreading soon after delivery is easier than leaving it for weeks.
Plan the drop before the truck arrives
Choose a flat patch of driveway or curb space, keep the area free of cars and low wires, and lay a tarp if you want to protect pavers or sod. Show the driver the exact spot in your order notes.
Working with the neighbors around Taylor
Dearborn is only 5 miles away, and Dearborn Heights is 8 and Westland 9. Livonia lies 13 miles out and Detroit 14. Crews who work across this stretch of the metro often line up one delivery per job site, so each customer gets material tipped where their own project is rather than a shared pile.

Typical projects in Taylor
Most orders come from homeowners improving a yard they plan to keep for years, along with small contractors handling several modest jobs a month. Curb appeal work for a string of listings means cubic yards of mulch, and a side path means tons of stone.
Lots in Taylor are often generous in width and shallow in depth, so a pile placed at the end of the driveway can reach the front and back with one wheelbarrow route. Plan the route before the delivery and clear it of toys, hoses and planters so the work moves quickly once the material lands.
Many buyers pair a stone order with a soil order, then split a Saturday between moving each. If you are working alone, spreading the heavier stone first and the soil second keeps your energy for the part that needs more care.
Before seeding a bare patch, rake out stones and loosen the top inch or two so the new soil bonds with the ground below. A thin layer over hard-packed dirt can dry out quickly or wash away, so work the surface first and then spread evenly.
For a path, dig a shallow trench, lay fabric and set the edging before the stone goes in. An edge in place first keeps pea gravel from drifting into the lawn after the first few rains.

Why does the price change from address to address?
Each price is calculated for the ZIP you enter, because the cost of getting a load to a specific place is part of the delivered figure. That is why the page asks for a ZIP first. Two neighbors a few streets apart may see the same number, and a farther address may differ.
Can I order topsoil and pea gravel for the same project?
Yes, and many landscape jobs need both. A typical pairing is topsoil for the planting beds and pea gravel for the path beside them. Each is its own order, so you can size the two piles separately and have them placed in different parts of the yard.
How should I store leftover material?
Cover leftover topsoil or mulch with a tarp weighted down at the edges so rain does not turn it to mud and wind does not strip it. Pea gravel keeps fine uncovered. Store piles on pavement or a spare board rather than directly on lawn.
What does a delivered load look like when it arrives?
The truck backs in and raises the bed, tipping the material in one heap. It does not spread it. You or your crew move it with a wheelbarrow and shovel, or a skid steer if you have one. Plan helpers and tools before the load lands.
Is screened topsoil better than regular fill?
Screening removes rocks, roots and clumps, which leaves a finer, more even material that works for lawns and gardens. Unscreened fill is fine for bulk grading, but it is harder to rake smooth and can leave debris in the seedbed. Choose by what will sit on top.
Can I have mulch delivered for a commercial property?
Yes. Business owners and property managers order the same way as homeowners, entering the ZIP of the site. Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, so measure beds across the whole property, and add a note about parking lots or loading docks that affect where the truck can stand.
What should I do if rain is forecast on delivery day?
Pea gravel and mulch handle rain without trouble, but topsoil turns heavy and sticky when soaked. If a storm is coming, place the pile on pavement, cover it as soon as the truck leaves and wait until it dries a bit before spreading it onto beds.
Do I need a permit to have a load dropped at the curb?
Rules depend on the street and on how long the pile sits, so check with the city if you plan to leave material on public right-of-way. Placing it on your own driveway avoids the question.
