Gravel and Stone are Easy to Install

Compared with other surface materials, stone and gravel are a breeze. You won’t have to mix or cure anything. You won’t be on your hands and knees fine-tuning with masonry sand between stones. You won’t need to cut material to fit. The supplies are delivered FREE to your driveway. Spread them over the area, grade it as needed and give them a week to settle. THAT’S IT. That’s the entire installation process. You WON’T BELIEVE how easy it is.

Gravel and Stone are Easy to Maintain

Your gravel and stone landscaping projects will be REMARKABLY SIMPLE to keep looking great. With correct grading, most surfaces made from gravel won’t develop potholes or wash out. However, these issues do crop up from time to time. If your gravel gets dips and depressions, you just need a bit of extra gravel on hand to fill it in. It will settle and compact itself, just throw it on top. You’ll also want to spread a thin layer of new gravel on top of the old gravel every couple of years. You should also apply weed killer to your landscaping. Even if you laid down weed cloth before installing gravel and stone, weeds always find a way. Chemical solutions work perfectly well with gravel and stone.

Gravel and Stone Have Tons of Uses

Drains

Poor drainage can cause a lot of very expensive problems for homeowners. From flooding to leaky basements to drowned lawns, it’s far costlier to let a problem fester.

Gravel and stone provide the PERFECT LANDSCAPING MATERIAL to solve the issue. You can keep your yard looking great while still diverting water before it pools. 2-inch River Wash or Small River Jack are spectacular drainage augments that look like decorative features.

One popular water diversion method is the French drain. You dig a trench from the problem area leading to an area with better drainage. Then you lay down a permeable pipe and cover it with gravel or stone. Instead of pooling, water trickles through the gravel or stones into the pipe and away from the area.

Homeowners who want the utility of a French drain but are more style-conscious can build dry creek beds with our stone. A dry creek bed is a BEAUTIFUL FEATURE you can use to disguise your runoff trench with gravel and stones to make it look like a naturally occurring feature. If the flooding starts with a downspout, you can put a large boulder in front of it to hide the source of the water.

You can also build a dry well using these materials. A simple method involves digging a pit and placing a large barrel inside with a screened top and perforated sides and bottom. Fill in the excess space in your pit with gravel or stone, which will give the pit internal stability and prevent collapses while offering no resistance at all to the water. When the area is inundated with excess water, the dry well fills. After the moisture levels fall, it slowly releases its bounty into the groundwater.

Flower Beds

BRING YOUR PLANTS TO LIFE with contrasting decorative materials. Flowers look great against the neutral backdrop of gravel. Small gravel like River Wash, Small River Jack or 57 Red Brick Colored Stone doesn’t require maintenance like mulch. Gravel holds heat well, giving your soil warmth that nurtures your plants. You won’t have to worry about erosion like you would with topsoil.

Our larger stones can accent your soil flower bed while providing heat and erosion control.

We also sell stone suitable for rock gardens. Our larger River Rock stands out in a backyard and provides a stable place for mosses and creeping plants to thrive. Hens and chick plants put crevices to work, while sweet alyssum cascades from the top of the rocks to the bottom.

Bedding

We also sell gravel for strictly utilitarian uses. Recycled Concrete and RC2 work best when they’re serving a specific function. RC2 stabilizes muddy areas and works well for construction entrances. Recycled Concrete, Gray 21-A and Stone Dust can be laid down as a bed for concrete slabs or drainage pipes. Stone Dust makes a perfect floor for equestrian spaces, while 21-A is a great way to fill in a swimming pool. If you need filler, you can’t do better than our crushed stone.
