Burien blends older ranch homes close to the water with newer infill builds, and the yards that go with them are often small. That is a good fit for bulk delivery in modest amounts. Instead of hauling bags from a store, one drop covers a bed, a side path and a corner of lawn in a single afternoon, and the leftover stays tidy on a tarp until you need it.

Burien site notes
Many Burien properties slope toward the street or the backyard. Before the truck comes, decide whether the pile will sit on the high side, where you can shovel downhill, or on the street apron. Wheelbarrow work is much easier going downhill.
Small contractors who service several Burien homes can use the same page for each client. Enter the ZIP of the job, record the delivered figure and pass it along in your estimate. Because the price is set by ZIP, jobs in different ZIPs can show different figures, so check each job's ZIP rather than reusing a single quote.
A common Burien job is refreshing a front bed: pull the old growth, level the ground, add screened topsoil where it has sunk, then finish with mulch. A side path of pea gravel can follow once the beds are done, so foot traffic does not track soil onto the stones. Working in that order lets you order each material when its turn comes instead of storing three piles on a small lot.
Homeowners planning in stages can order the first material now and come back for the next one later. Nothing ties the materials together, so you can begin with topsoil in spring and add mulch after the plants settle in. On a small lot that also keeps each pile at a size you can clear in a weekend.
Photos help too. Snap a picture of the intended pile site and the approach, and keep it handy when you place the order. It makes any later conversation about placement quick and specific.

What size load should a small Burien yard order?
Most small yards need only a couple of units. The 2 unit minimum covers a modest bed, a short path or a patch of lawn repair. Measure your space first and compare it with the product page guidance, then add a little extra so you do not come up short.
Is pea gravel or mulch better for a garden path?
Pea gravel gives a firm, free-draining surface that stays put once it is edged, so it suits paths you walk every day. Mulch breaks down and needs topping up, but it is softer underfoot and suits a casual path through planting beds. Pick by how much traffic the path will carry.
Can pea gravel go under a deck or around a hot tub pad?
In Burien, pea gravel on top, because loose round stone alone shifts under load.
How do I keep topsoil from washing away on a slope?
Spread it in thin layers, then seed or plant quickly so roots hold it. Straw netting or a mulch cover helps in the first weeks. Avoid leaving bare soil across a steep section before heavy weather, since it erodes much faster than gravel does.
Is mulch measured the same way as gravel?
No. Mulch is bought by the cubic yard, which is a measure of volume, while gravel and topsoil are bought by the ton, which is a measure of weight. That is why each product page lists its own unit. Always read the unit before you enter a quantity.
What should I do if my street is narrow or steep?
For a Burien address, mention the approach when you order. Overhanging trees, sharp grades and tight turns all affect where a truck can safely stop, so a short note about the approach helps the driver plan. If the truck cannot get all the way in, the material can be moved by hand from wherever it is placed.
Can I have two different materials dropped in the same spot?
It is better to give each its own area. Piles that touch blend together at the edges, and sorting soil from gravel afterward is slow work. Mark two separate zones with stakes or tape, a few feet apart, and tell the driver which is which.
How soon after delivery should I spread the material?
Sooner is better for topsoil and mulch, which stay in good shape when spread and can compact or turn sour in a deep, wet heap. Gravel keeps for as long as you like. Cover any pile you cannot spread right away with a tarp.
