Gravel delivery in Baytown, TX and the other materials we bring
Five materials are available for Baytown addresses. Each one has its own page with specs, photos and the live price.
- Pea Gravel is ordered by the ton for Baytown jobs. Rounded and easy to rake, it suits drain beds, walkways and the gaps around pavers.
- Fill Dirt is ordered by the ton for Baytown yards. Use it to raise a low yard or build up a pad before something goes on top.
- Premium Screened Topsoil is ordered by the ton for Baytown lawns and beds. It is sifted, so it spreads cleanly for new lawns and planting beds.
- Compost is ordered by the cubic yard for Baytown gardens. Work it into heavy clay to loosen the soil and feed what you plant.
- Mulch comes by the cubic yard for Baytown planting beds. A layer over bare beds holds moisture and cuts down on weeds.
What the ZIP shows and how big to order
Enter your Baytown ZIP on any product page and the engine shows the delivered price for that address. Freight is already in the number, so the figure you see is the one you pay. Bigger loads bring a lower rate per unit, which is worth knowing if two neighbors are planning the same job. Orders in Baytown open at 2 units. For Baytown topsoil, pea gravel and fill dirt, that works out to 2 tons. Mulch and compost bought for a Baytown job begin at 2 cubic yards.
Placing the load
A dump truck needs a straight approach and room overhead, so look at the street side before you pick a drop spot. Pavement under the pile saves cleanup, and a tarp or a few boards keep gravel off a lawn. If the only access is a narrow side gate, mention it when you order and plan to move the pile by wheelbarrow.
Baytown conditions that shape the job
Gulf Coast rain can stall a dirt project for days, and clay holds that water long after the sky clears. Grade beds so water leaves the house rather than pooling beside it. Plan the spreading for a dry stretch so the pile does not turn to mud before you reach it.
Matching the material to the project
Most Baytown jobs fall into a few patterns. A new lawn usually takes fill dirt to correct the grade, then a screened topsoil layer on top. A bed along the foundation tends to need compost in the soil and mulch above it. A drainage trench or a path around a pool deck is a pea gravel job. Sketching the layers in order, from the bottom up, tells you which products to order and in what sequence the loads should arrive.
Small yards and bigger lots
A typical city lot needs only a few units, while a larger lot can absorb several loads. Measure the area before you pick a quantity so the order matches the space.

How do I work out how many units I need?
Take a 20 by 10 foot bed at 3 inches deep: 20 times 10 times 3 gives 600, and dividing by 324 lands at about 1.9 cubic yards, so you would order the 2 unit minimum. Coverage per ton depends on the product, so check the product page for the ton materials. Round up a little rather than down.
How should I store leftover mulch or compost?
Cover it if heavy rain is forecast so it does not wash toward the street. Keep the pile a short distance from the house foundation. Spreading it soon after delivery keeps it from souring or crusting over, and it goes further when it is worked into the beds while still loose.
What is the difference between topsoil and compost?
Is pea gravel a good choice for drainage?
Yes, its rounded stones leave gaps for water to pass through, which is why it is common around French drains and under downspout outlets. It shifts underfoot more than crushed stone, so a border or edging keeps it from creeping into the lawn or the flower beds.
Can I put several materials into one project order?
Each material is ordered from its own page, so a mixed project means working through the pages one at a time. Check the unit on each one, since some are sold by the ton and others by the cubic yard, and the quantities are not interchangeable. Order the base layers first if you want the pile ready for the next step.
How deep should mulch be spread?
For most Baytown beds, two to three inches of mulch is plenty. A thicker layer can hold too much moisture against plants, so pull it back a few inches from stems and trunks. Refresh the layer once it thins out, and rake the old top layer loose first so water still reaches the soil underneath it.
Does fill dirt need to be compacted?
For anything that will carry weight, yes. Spread it in thin layers, wet it lightly, and compact each pass with a plate compactor or the wheels of a loaded cart. For a garden bed that will only hold plants, loose fill that settles over a season is usually fine.
What happens if my address is not accepted?
Try again with the ZIP of the exact delivery address, not the billing one. If the system still will not price it, the location is likely outside our current delivery area, and the state page lists the cities we cover.
