Gravel delivery in Pharr, TX and other materials
Four materials are available at Pharr addresses. Pharr buyers order Pea Gravel and Premium Screened Topsoil by the ton. Cubic yards are the unit for Compost and Mulch. Fill dirt is not offered for Pharr. Each price is a delivered figure for your ZIP, and ordering more lowers the rate per unit.
Pharr jobs tend to be practical: a gravel strip beside a driveway, a drainage trench behind a house, a bed along a fence, or a patch of lawn that never filled in. Landscapers working several small properties in the area can order each one by its own ZIP, which keeps delivered prices matched to the right address.

Minimum load and placement
Orders begin at 2 tons of pea gravel or topsoil. Compost and mulch begin at 2 cubic yards. In neighborhoods with tight lots and parked cars along the street, plan where the truck can stop and keep the drop zone free before it arrives. Fenced back yards usually mean a front drop and a wheelbarrow, so figure your labor into the plan.
Gravel is heavy, and a ton fills more wheelbarrows than most people expect. Choose a drop spot close to where the stone is going, and set boards or a tarp under the pile so you can sweep up clean at the end. Keep the pile clear of vehicles and gates you still need to use.
Local conditions that affect the job
Heavy bursts of rain move loose material, so keep piles away from storm drains and the low edge of the lot. If you are shaping a yard, give it a slight slope away from the house. Heat dries topsoil quickly, so water new patches regularly during the first weeks and top them with mulch.
Where you plan a gravel path or drain, lay landscape fabric first so soil does not work up into the stone. Pea gravel stays put best when it sits in a defined edge, such as steel or timber, rather than spreading across a lawn. Rake it level once, then leave it alone.

How do I figure out how much pea gravel a path needs?
Measure the path's length and width in feet and choose a depth, with a couple of inches being common for walking surfaces. Multiply for cubic feet, then convert to the unit shown on the material page. Order a touch extra, because loose stone packs down once people start walking on it.
Can I mix compost and topsoil before spreading?
Yes. Blending the two on a tarp or in a wheelbarrow gives raised beds a looser, richer mix than either alone. Fill the bed with the blend, level it, and water it in. Keep the compost portion modest so the mix still holds its shape around roots.
How close can mulch sit to the house wall?
Leave a gap of a few inches between mulch and siding, brick or foundation vents. Mulch pressed against a wall holds moisture there and gives pests a sheltered spot. Spread it outward from that gap and keep the layer even across the rest of the bed.
Can I order topsoil and mulch for the same bed?
Each material sits on its own page, so you place two separate orders. Spread the topsoil first and plant, then add the mulch after the plants are in. That order keeps mulch from being worked into the soil while you dig holes for roots.
How do I remove grass before adding topsoil?
Cut the sod into strips with a flat spade, slide the blade under the roots and lift. Shake loose soil back onto the bed, then loosen the ground beneath before the topsoil goes down. Smothering the turf under cardboard is a slower option if you can wait.
How do I fix a low dip in the lawn?
Add topsoil in thin layers of an inch or so rather than one thick pile, and rake each layer so grass blades still poke through. Repeat after the grass grows back until the dip is level. A single deep layer tends to kill the turf underneath.
Can compost serve as mulch?
In a thin layer, yes. Compost first and cover it with mulch so they get both benefits.
Is it all right to have two materials dropped in the same spot?
Keep them in separate piles if you can, with a gap or a tarp between. Gravel mixed into soil is hard to separate again, and the same goes for compost in mulch. If space is tight, ask for the piles side by side and stage the second one on a tarp.
