What Paul Schultz Trucking Inc supplies

Excavating outfits frequently sell and haul fill dirt, topsoil and aggregate alongside their site work. For larger volumes they are often cheaper than a retail yard because they are already running trucks.

Clean fill, structural fill and screened topsoil are distinct products at very different prices. Be explicit about which you need, and whether the material must be certified clean for your jurisdiction.

Full-line landscape supply yards stock soil, mulch, decorative stone, boulders, pavers, edging and often sod under one roof. That matters when a project needs several materials, because combining them into a single delivery avoids paying separate trip charges to multiple suppliers.

Because Paul Schultz Trucking Inc carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Fill and excavation services is sold by the load. Contractors usually quote material and haulage together by the load, so per-load pricing is the number to compare.

As a rough guide: 1 tandem load covers about 10–12 yards; 1 tri-axle load covers about 14–16 yards; 1 pickup covers about 1 yard.

Measure your area and decide on depth before calling. Most yards will run the volume calculation for you and will flag when stepping up to a larger load actually lowers the price per unit.

Ordering and delivery

Confirm the delivery radius and fee early in the call. Two yards quoting similar material prices can land very differently once haulage is added.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Ratings and reputation

Among the suppliers we list across Michigan, this rating places Paul Schultz Trucking Inc in the top 61%.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.5 drawn from 17 reviews is a reasonable sample for a local yard.

Best time to buy in Michigan

In Michigan, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering fill and excavation services in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.

Because haulage is such a large share of delivered cost, the nearest yard carrying your material frequently wins on total price even at a higher per-unit rate.
