Gravel delivery in South Jordan, UT and the rest of the lineup
Every product has its own page with specs and a live price, so you can compare before you order. The groups below show which pages fit which kind of job.
Stone and grading material
Pea Gravel is sold by the ton and works for walkways, drainage trenches and play areas. Fill Dirt is also sold by the ton and is the usual choice for grading and backfill.
Lawns and planting beds
Premium Screened Topsoil is sold by the ton for new lawns and planting beds.
Compost is sold by the cubic yard and feeds tired soil.
Mulch is also sold by the cubic yard and goes on top of a bed to hold moisture.
What the delivered price covers
The number you see already includes the trip to your address. It is tied to your ZIP, so there is no separate quote step. Ordering more of one material lowers the rate per unit. The smallest order is 2 units of the material's own sales unit.
Sales units differ across this lineup. Soil and stone are counted in tons. Compost and mulch are counted in cubic yards. A single planting bed can involve both kinds of order.
West Jordan is only 3 miles from South Jordan, and Herriman is 5. Taylorsville is 7, with Sandy and Draper at 8 each. If your project straddles a boundary, check the page for the city where the load will actually be tipped.
Planning the drop and the site
Start with the truck. It needs a wide, firm approach and clear air above, and it will leave a tall pile, so choose ground that can take the weight. A tarp or sheet of plywood under the load keeps the surface clean for the next step.
Many South Jordan lots are newer and fairly flat, so water has little slope to run off. That makes grading matter more: build fill and soil up slightly away from the foundation so rain moves toward a drain, not toward the house.
Fresh yards also tend to arrive with compacted construction soil. Loosening the top few inches before spreading topsoil helps roots settle in faster.
Common mistakes to avoid on a new lot
The most frequent error is ordering everything at once. Soil dumped before the grade is set ends up moved twice. Another is skipping a measurement and guessing from the look of the pile, which leaves a bed short. Order only what the plan calls for.
Keep the work sequence in mind. Grade first with fill, then spread topsoil, then plant, then top with the yard materials. Ordering in that order, with a pause between deliveries, lets you check the grade before the next pile arrives and adjust the quantity if the first layer took less than you planned.
Builders finishing several lots on one street can place a separate order for each address, since each load is tied to the lot where it is tipped.
For work outside the city, see delivery across Utah for the other places we serve.

Work out your material
A planning figure, not a guarantee. Order roughly a tenth extra to cover settling and uneven ground.

How do I size a topsoil order for a new lawn?
Multiply the lawn length by width in feet, then by the depth in inches, and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. A few inches of topsoil is a common starting depth. Since Premium Screened Topsoil is sold by the ton, check the product page to see how the amount you need compares before you check out.
Which material should go under a paver patio?
Pavers usually sit on a compacted base with a thin setting layer on top, and neither of those is a product listed here. Fill dirt is useful lower down, for raising and leveling the ground before the base goes in. Pea Gravel is rounded and loose, so it is not the material to set pavers on.
Can I order compost and mulch together?
They are two products, so each is its own order, but you can have both sent to one address. Spread compost first, rake it in, then add mulch on top so it shades the soil instead of mixing into it.
What if my yard is hard to reach?
Choose a drop point near the street. A load tipped at the curb can be moved by wheelbarrow or small loader, which works when the yard has a narrow side gate. Lay down plywood or a tarp where the pile will sit so the surface stays clean.
Can I use compost under a new sod lawn?
How long will gravel stay where I put it?
Pea Gravel is loose and rounded, so it shifts under foot and wheels unless it has an edge to hold it. Install steel or paver edging along beds and paths, and rake the surface level every so often. Without edging, expect it to creep into the lawn.
Is it worth ordering extra material?
A small cushion is wise because ground is rarely perfectly level and piles settle after they are spread. Going well beyond that wastes money, though. Use any leftover for patching bare areas or filling a planter.
Can a neighbor and I split one delivery?
If you share a fence line, you can place a single order and tip the pile at the boundary, then divide it by hand. The delivery goes to one address, so decide who the order is under.
