I'm having 2 tons of pea gravel and 1 ton of screenings delivered tomorrow morning, but the weather forecast predicts heavy rain all day. I'm really worried that the screenings will wash away and create a mess. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep them contained? Am I worrying too much? Would throwing a tarp over them help? Thanks in advance!

If they're not already mixed, I suggest you keep the screenings covered and let the pea gravel stay out to wash off any dirt. Maybe dump everything on a large tarp to catch any screenings if they start rolling away. That way, you can avoid a mess!
Definitely throw a tarp over it! That should help keep the screenings from washing away during the rain. It'll protect them until you're ready to move them.
Great point! They're being delivered in one load, so I expect they'll mix a bit. I’ll definitely lay down a tarp underneath and then cover it with plastic to keep the rain off. Fingers crossed it works!
