How ordering and pricing work
Each page asks for a ZIP code, then shows what that exact load costs delivered. In Gallatin, a bigger load pulls the rate per unit down.
Minimum order and drop spot
You can order as little as 2 tons of topsoil or pea gravel, or 2 cubic yards of mulch. Choose a spot the truck can reach without backing across your septic area or soft turf. A paved apron or gravel turnaround is ideal. Tell the driver exactly where the pile belongs, and keep children and pets clear while the bed lifts.
Ground and weather around Gallatin
Spring storms can leave low yards in the Gallatin area waterlogged. Before you spread soil, see where the water pools, then grade so it runs away from the house.
Who orders in Gallatin
Gallatin mixes established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions and larger rural-style lots. Homeowners there tend to order for landscaping and lawn repair, and small contractors order to stage material for a job. A delivered load saves hauling it by trailer across town.
Choosing between the three
- Gravel-type surfaces: pea gravel for paths, borders and play zones.
- Growing areas: topsoil for lawns, vegetable beds and shrub planting.
- Finishing layer: mulch over the soil to hold moisture and slow weeds.
Since pea gravel and topsoil are counted in tons while mulch is counted in cubic yards, plan each quantity separately. A garden build often uses all three: soil for the bed, gravel for the walkway between rows, and mulch around the plants.
Preparing the site
Walk the property with a tape and a few stakes. Mark the footprint of the path or bed, flag sprinkler heads and note the width of any gate the material has to pass if you plan to move it by wheelbarrow. Cutting the edge of a bed with a spade ahead of time gives the new material a firm boundary, and a layer of cardboard or fabric under a path keeps weeds from pushing through the stone.
It also helps to decide how the load will be moved. Short distances suit a wheelbarrow, while longer runs across a big lot go faster with a garden cart or a small loader if you have access to one. Putting the pile close to the work saves more effort than any tool.

How many tons of pea gravel will my path need?
Multiply the path length by its width, in feet, then by the depth you plan, and convert to tons using the number on the product page. Narrow garden paths often need only the minimum order. Measure twice, and add a small cushion for uneven ground along the edges.
Does pea gravel need a base under it?
For walkways, a compacted base of crushed stone keeps the pea gravel alone works well if you rake it often.
Can I use Premium Screened Topsoil in a raised bed?
Yes. Screened soil is fine and loose, which helps roots spread and water drain evenly. Many gardeners blend it with compost for extra nutrients. Fill the bed a little above the rim, because it will drop as it waters in.
Why does mulch come by the yard while the others come by the ton?
Mulch is airy, so its weight changes with moisture and does not describe how much space it covers. A cubic yard measures the space. Topsoil and pea gravel are heavy and consistent, so weight in tons is a better yardstick.
What tools do I need for a delivered pile?
On a Gallatin lot, a wheelbarrow, a flat shovel and a landscape rake cover most jobs. A tarp helps keep a staged pile clean. For long paths, a second wheelbarrow and a helper make the work go faster. Wear gloves and boots, since fresh soil and gravel are rough on bare hands.
Can I order pea gravel and topsoil for the same project?
Yes, and many garden builds do. Place a separate order from each product page, since the materials come as separate loads. Plan where each pile will sit so they do not mix, and keep soil and stone on different tarps. A helper makes the sorting easier once both loads are on the ground.
How do I keep mulch from washing into the street?
Edge the bed with a spade cut or a border so the mulch has a lip to rest against. On a slope, use a slightly coarser mulch and keep the layer thin near the low side. Shovel stray piles back after storms.
Can I order for a rental property or a client?
Yes. Use the jobsite ZIP rather than your home one so the price matches the delivery address. Send the client or tenant a photo of the finished pile so they can confirm everything arrived, and keep your own notes on quantities used. That makes follow-up orders for the same property easier to size.
