Mission, in the Rio Grande Valley, has roughly 89,000 residents and a lot of citrus-lined lots, new subdivisions and drainage-conscious yards. Gravel delivery in Mission, TX is one part of what we handle, and the same ordering flow covers soil, fill and mulch for homeowners and small crews.
Gravel delivery in Mission, TX and what else we bring
Five materials are open for Mission addresses. In Mission, Pea Gravel, Premium Screened Topsoil and Fill Dirt are all sold by the ton. For Compost and Mulch the unit is the cubic yard. The price you see is delivered and is figured for the ZIP you enter. Order more and the rate per unit goes down.
Homeowners in Mission usually call on us for patio and shed bases, tree rings and garden beds, while small contractors use the same pages for drainage runs and finish grading. Because the Valley is growing, plenty of orders go to lots that were bare dirt only a few seasons ago and now need a yard from scratch.
Popular materials in the area
Fill Dirt
Valley lots often need raising before a slab, patio or shed goes in, and fill dirt is the economical base for that. Sold by the ton. See Fill Dirt in Mission.
Premium Screened Topsoil
A clean, screened layer for new sod, garden beds and low spots that need a finish coat. Sold by the ton. See Premium Screened Topsoil in Mission.
Pea Gravel
Smooth small stone for paths, drainage runs and decorative beds. Sold by the ton. See Pea Gravel in Mission.
Compost
Finished organic matter that improves sandy or tight soil in vegetable beds. Sold by the cubic yard. See Compost in Mission.
Mulch
A protective blanket over bare soil that keeps roots cooler and slows evaporation. Sold by the cubic yard. See Mulch in Mission.

Minimum load and placement
An order starts at 2 tons of gravel, topsoil or fill. Mission orders of compost and mulch start at 2 cubic yards. A truck needs a straight approach and a stretch of level ground, so measure your gate or driveway width and tell us about any low-hanging wires. If a street is narrow, put the pile at the curb edge of your driveway and move it by wheelbarrow.
Keep the pile off sprinkler heads and irrigation lines, and flag any buried utility markers before the truck backs in. Once the load is down, spread it within a few days. A pile left in place can crust on top or wash toward the street during a downpour.
Local conditions that affect the job
Valley storms can drop a lot of water quickly, and flat lots hold it. When you spread fill or topsoil, leave a gentle fall away from buildings. Summer sun dries bare soil fast, so a mulch layer after planting pays off. Sandy patches take more compost than the darker clay pockets do.
Citrus and palm trees have shallow feeder roots, so keep mulch a few inches back from the trunk and spread it wide instead of deep. For a new lawn, a thin screened topsoil layer over compacted ground gives sod a better start than laying it on bare, hard soil.

Should I choose fill dirt or topsoil?
Does the delivered price change from one address to another?
It can. The figure is worked out for the ZIP you enter, so a job in Mission and a second one in a neighboring city may not show the same number. If you are ordering for several properties, run each address through the page on its own.
How much topsoil does a raised bed need?
Measure the bed's length, width and depth in feet and multiply the three for cubic feet. Divide by 27 to see cubic yards, then convert to the unit on the topsoil page. Add a small cushion, because loose soil sinks a little once it is watered in.
Does pea gravel need edging?
Yes, an edge keeps the stone where you put it. Steel, timber or pavers all work. Set the edge before the load arrives so you can pour and rake straight into a finished border. Without one, gravel drifts into the lawn and the beds beside it.
How should I spread a pile of gravel evenly?
Start at the far end of the area and work back toward the pile. Fill a wheelbarrow, dump it in small heaps, and rake each heap flat to your target depth before moving on. Working this way keeps you from walking over stone you have already leveled.
How often should mulch be refreshed?
Top it up when the layer thins and bare soil starts to show through, rather than on a set date. A fresh inch or two over the old layer is enough. Pull the old mulch aside first if it has packed into a crust that water runs off.
What can I do with leftover topsoil?
Fill low spots in the lawn, top-dress a thin patch, or bring up the soil level around a new planting. If you cannot use it right away, cover the pile with a tarp so it stays workable and does not blow or wash off the lot.
Can I mix compost into vegetable beds right before planting?
Yes, finished compost is ready to go in at planting time. Spread a layer over the bed and fork it into the top several inches so roots meet a blended mix rather than a distinct band. Water the bed after mixing so it settles before seedlings go in.
