Overview
Decorative and river rock give you a bed or border that doesn't break down the way bark does. No annual refresh, no fading, and it holds up under drainage flow where mulch would just wash away. We install both rounded river rock (smoother, more natural-looking) and angular crushed rock (sharper, more defined), sized and colored to fit the rest of your property rather than picked at random.
Rock beds nearly always go in over landscape fabric, which keeps the rock from slowly sinking into the soil and keeps weeds from pushing up through it over time. It's also one of the most functional choices for problem spots, including around downspouts, along drainage swales, or on slopes where mulch tends to erode, so it shows up often as part of a larger drainage improvement project and not just as decoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between river rock and decorative rock?
River rock is naturally rounded and smooth; decorative or crushed rock is more angular. It's mostly an aesthetic choice, though angular rock can stay put better on steeper grades.
Do you install fabric underneath the rock?
Yes, as standard practice. Fabric keeps the rock from mixing into the soil underneath and cuts down significantly on weeds pushing through.
Can rock be used in a drainage area, not just a decorative bed?
Definitely. Rock beds and swales are a common pairing with our drainage improvement work, since rock handles moving water better than mulch or bare soil.
How much rock will my project need?
It depends on the square footage and depth you want. We'll measure the space and give you an exact figure as part of your free estimate.
