Dirt, topsoil and gravel delivery in Chelsea

Revised October 2026

Delivered prices for Chelsea Park, Forest Lakes, Chelsea Highlands, Highway 47 corridor and Highway 280 corridor, with delivery notes for this side of town.

What the ground is like

Chelsea sits in a valley southeast of Double Oak Mountain, which is sandstone and forms the steep northwest edge of the city. The valley floor is shale and limestone with heavy red clay, and Yellowleaf Creek and its branches create low, wet ground. Most housing is newer, built on cleared and graded farmland and pine land, so settling around foundations, washed drainage swales and low backyards are the usual reasons for fill.

Getting a truck in

Large HOA subdivisions (Chelsea Park, Forest Lakes) with standard streets, plus many rural lots on county roads with long gravel drives; Highway 280 traffic affects timing.
