Min order 1 tons

Status In stock

Elsmere is one of the more densely built suburbs just outside Wilmington, and its housing stock is older and its lots noticeably smaller than the newer developments further out in the county. On lots that size, every bit of yard has to work harder, and pea gravel is a common way to finish narrow side yards and small parking areas where grass has never really taken hold between the older homes here.

Given the town’s proximity to Wilmington, the ground underneath shares more of the Piedmont’s rockier character than the sandy soil found across most of Delaware further south, and a compacted layer of crushed run base material is standard under Elsmere’s driveways for the same reasons it is in Wilmington itself. Established beds on the town’s older streets are generally finished with bark mulch for regular seasonal maintenance. We deliver to homes and commercial addresses throughout the town and surrounding area.

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing grows in my narrow Elsmere side yard. What works instead?
Pea gravel is the usual answer on Elsmere’s smaller, older lots, where a narrow strip beside a house often gets too little light or too much foot traffic for grass to hold. It drains well and, once installed, needs very little ongoing attention.
Somewhat, yes. Given the town’s location just outside Wilmington, the ground here leans more toward the rockier Piedmont character than the sandy coastal plain soil common across most of the state further south. A compacted base under a driveway matters here for similar reasons it does in Wilmington itself.
Measure the total bed area and plan on roughly three inches of depth for good coverage, then check that figure against the material calculator on our site. Older, established beds with some existing mulch generally need less volume than one being covered for the first time.
Yes, along with the wider Wilmington area. Send over your address and dispatch will check whether your site is covered.
