General Information
There are many good reasons for using decorative rock:
- Decorative look accents grass, trees, walls, etc.
- Low maintenance
after installation
- Economy (especially when used in problem
soil areas)
- Ease and speed of installation, with minimal
preparation
- Multiple use (areas covered with decorative rock
may be driven on or parked on.
- No water use, perfect for
arid climate, or water restricted areas.
There are many sizes and colors of rock to choose from
for walkways, borders, and driveways. To customize
your landscape,
see our
display areas to find the product best suited for
you.
Materials Needed
Material quantity can be determined by computing the square
footage of the area being landscaped. Measure the length of the
area and multiply by the width of the area to get your square
footage. Need help? Bring a diagram of your area with measurement
to our sales staff.
| Length x Width = Square Footage |
Rock
1 ton of 3/8", 1/2”, or 1" rock will cover:
- 120 sq. ft 2" deep
- 100 sq. ft 3" deep
- 60 sq. ft 4" deep
- 40 sq. ft 6" deep
- To estimate your rock at a 3" depth:
| Square Footage divided by 100 = tons |
- Materials Needed
- Underlayment (weed barrier)
- Edging materials
- Wheelbarrow
- Miscellaneous hand tools
Installing Rock
- Designate the area to be covered, and clean off any existing
debris and weeds. Then calculate the square footage and tonnage
needed for your project. For walkways or high-traffic areas,
breeze, road base, or a ¾" rock is recommended.
Where foot traffic is not expected on slopes, borders, or around
foundations,
a 1 ½" rock is most popular. When steep slopes
are encountered, we recommend a 2" - 4"" or
5"-
12" "rip rap" for the best results.
- Select your
underlayment. Plastic has long been a popular and cost efficient
weed control and water - repellent material. At
least a 6 mil thick plastic is recommended to control weeds
and maximize drainage near foundations, as water will run over
this
material. It is important to keep drainage away from foundations.
Landscape Fabric has several advantages. Fabric will allow
water to penetrate, while still controlling weed growth. This
allows
you to install material close to plant material. Fabric will
also outlast plastic by not breaking down due to extreme temperatures
or ultraviolet rays.
- When your edging has been installed and
your materials have been selected, you are ready to begin the
installation. It
is important
to be generous with your underlayment, as you only get one
chance to install it. Overlap your underlayment 4" at
the joints and 3" at your edges and foundations. This
will allow you proper coverage when you install your rock.
Always overlap
so
that any drainage flows over your joints rather than under.
- Begin your installation at the bottom or low end of the area
for two reasons: First, this will act as a building block
or foundation to work from, and second, should allow you to
walk
over already installed rock, rather than your underlayment.
- When your rock is placed, smooth out the highs and lows with
a rake or shovel for a uniform appearance. All landscape
rock will have a certain percentage of fines (dirt) when
delivered.
Finally, you must wash your rock down with a garden hose
to clean off any fines and enhance its natural color.
