What a Duluth order includes
The catalog for Duluth has five materials. Each one is sold in a single unit, shown on its page, and the quantity box counts in that unit. Start with the material, then work out the amount.
Pea Gravel
Priced per ton in Duluth. Rounded stones that drain well and settle into a firm layer, handy for paths, around footings and in drainage runs. See Pea Gravel in Duluth.
Fill Dirt
Priced per ton in Duluth. Useful where a sloped yard needs a level pad or a trench needs backfill. Find it at Fill Dirt in Duluth.
Premium Screened Topsoil
Priced per ton in Duluth. Screening removes the lumps and stones, which helps when you are seeding on a slope and want even coverage. Visit Premium Screened Topsoil in Duluth.
Compost
Priced per cubic yard in Duluth. It improves heavy or thin soil before planting. The page is Compost in Duluth.
Mulch
Priced per cubic yard in Duluth. A thick layer insulates roots and keeps beds tidy. Start at Mulch in Duluth.
Gravel delivery in Duluth, priced for your ZIP
Nothing is guessed on this site. You enter the ZIP for the job, and the price shown is the delivered price. Orders begin at 2 units, which is 2 tons for stone and soil by the ton or 2 cubic yards for mulch and compost. When you raise the quantity, the rate per unit falls, so a single larger order generally beats two small ones.

Choosing between the five materials
Think about what the material will do once it is down. Stone and fill hold shape and carry weight. Topsoil to seed, mulch to hold moisture in. Writing the plan as a short list of products and areas before ordering saves a second trip and keeps each quantity honest.
Homeowners often start with one bed or one path. That is fine, especially when a path needs a few inches of stone along its whole length.
Working with Duluth terrain and weather
Many Duluth lots slope, and some streets are steep or narrow. Tell yourself honestly where a full truck can stop. A level driveway or street edge is far safer than a grade. If you are building up a slope with fill, bring it in layers and compact each one rather than dumping a single deep lift.
Cold and wet shape the calendar. Frost can linger into spring near the lake, so wait until soil is workable before spreading topsoil or compost. For stone, a dry day keeps the drop clean and makes the first raking easier.
Rain on a hillside moves loose material. Keep topsoil and mulch piles away from the downhill edge of the lot, and seed or cover bare soil soon after spreading it so runoff does not carry it toward the street.
Stone behaves differently. The rounded edges of pea gravel let it shift underfoot on a steep path, so on a grade keep the layer shallow and edge it with timber or steel to hold it in place.
How much do you need?
Work out your material
A planning figure, not a guarantee. Order roughly a tenth extra to cover settling and uneven ground.

Do you deliver gravel to Duluth, Minnesota?
Yes. Duluth addresses can order pea gravel and four other materials: fill dirt, premium screened topsoil, compost and mulch. Enter your ZIP on a product page, and it shows the delivered price for that address. If the ZIP is outside coverage, the page tells you.
What units do I order in?
In Duluth, pea gravel, fill dirt and topsoil are sold by the ton. Duluth compost and mulch are measured by the cubic yard. One ton is 2,000 pounds. The product page always states the unit, and the quantity field uses it, so you can check the number before you pay.
What is the smallest quantity I can buy?
The minimum is 2 units. For a ton-based product, that is 2 tons. For compost or mulch, it is 2 cubic yards. That is a decent amount of material, so measure your area first and see whether one order covers more than one small job.
Can I use compost on its own instead of topsoil?
How do I calculate how much I need?
Work out the footprint in square feet, multiply by the depth in feet (inches divided by 12), and divide by 27 for cubic yards. Gravel and soil are sold by weight, so use the coverage notes on the product page to turn volume into tons. Duluth lots with uneven ground call for a little extra material.
How should I order for retaining wall backfill?
Wall backfill usually has two layers: pea gravel directly behind the wall so water can drain, and fill dirt above and behind it for bulk. Add each from its own product page. For any tall wall, have a local professional check the design before you order.
Can a pile sit for a few days before I use it?
