How ordering and pricing work
Type your ZIP into the price box on any material page and the delivered price appears for your location. Rates drop per unit as the order grows, so a bigger load costs less for each ton or yard than a small one.
Every Fulshear order starts at 2 units: 2 tons for topsoil, 2 cubic yards for mulch.
Where the load goes
Before you order in Fulshear, choose the drop spot. Trucks need a clear path and room overhead, and many Fulshear lots sit in newer subdivisions with narrow side gates and overhanging oaks, so measure the opening. The pile is tipped in one spot, so a tarp on the driveway or lawn edge saves cleanup.
If the truck cannot reach the work area, plan to move the pile by wheelbarrow, and think about who will do it before the truck arrives.
Fulshear soil, rain and your project
Much of the land around Fulshear is heavy clay that holds water after Gulf storms. Topsoil spread thin over clay can pond, so shape the surface to shed water away from the house before you cover it. Pea gravel in a drainage trench gives that water somewhere to go.
Compacted clay under a gravel path also benefits from a bit of loosening first.
Matching the material to the job
New-build lots around Fulshear often start as bare, compacted fill, so the first purchase is usually topsoil to give grass and shrubs something to root in. Once the lawn is in, mulch around the beds keeps summer sun off the roots and cuts the weeding. Pea gravel tends to come last, for the walkway to the side gate or the trench along a fence line.
Larger properties near the edges of town, where acreage is common, often take several orders over a season. Placing them one material at a time keeps the piles manageable and lets you finish one task before starting the next.
Homeowners with a half-finished yard can start with the smallest order and see how far it goes. Small contractors who handle several yards in the same neighborhood can coordinate a few orders to the same street.

How should I prepare a bare patch before the topsoil arrives?
Clear out building debris, loose rocks and dead turf, then rake the patch roughly level so the new soil has a clean base. Break up any hard crust with a garden fork so roots can follow the soil down. Stake the corners of the area, which also tells whoever is spreading where the edges of the repair are.
How do I figure out how much topsoil to buy?
Work out the footprint of the bed or lawn patch in feet, pick the soil depth you want, and turn that into cubic yards. The product page lists the weight so you can convert to tons. On a Fulshear new-build lot, measure each bare patch separately, add them up, and buy a little over so one short load does not leave a gap.
Is pea gravel good for a dog run or a patio base?
Pea gravel works for dog runs and loose seating areas because it drains and is gentle on paws. It shifts underfoot, so it is a poor choice as a firm patio base under pavers. For that, a crushed stone from spreading into the lawn.
Do I need to be home when the delivery arrives?
Not always, as long as the driver knows where to put the pile and the path is open. Mark the spot with cones, stakes or chalk so there is no guessing. If the access has a gate, make sure it is unlocked or someone can open it.
What should I do with the pile if rain is coming?
Cover soil and mulch with a tarp weighted at the edges so rain does not turn the pile into mud or wash fines into the street. Gravel handles rain fine. If you can, move the material into place the same weekend so it does not sit and compact.
Should I use topsoil or mulch around a tree in my Fulshear yard?
They do different jobs. Mulch dresses ground that already has plants and keeps the soil beneath it cooler. Topsoil repairs thin or bare ground, so use it to fill low spots in the lawn nearby. Around the tree itself, mulch is the better pick, and either material should stay clear of the bark so the trunk can breathe.
Can I order for a job site instead of my home?
Yes. Enter the site address and ZIP and the price box quotes delivery to that spot. Builders and landscapers in Fulshear often have material dropped at a lot before the house is finished, so make sure someone can tell the driver exactly where to tip.
Will the topsoil have rocks or debris in it?
Screened topsoil is sifted to remove large stones, sticks and clumps, which makes it easier to rake and spread than unscreened fill. A few small pebbles can still show up, as with any natural material. Rake it smooth and seed or sod soon after spreading.
