Do You Have Questions About Stone & Rock Mulch Installation?
We offer a variety of options, including river rock, gravel, decorative stones, and hardwood bark in multiple colors and textures. Common choices include river rock for drainage areas, crushed gravel for pathways, and larger stones for borders or accent features. We’ll help you choose the right type based on your design goals and maintenance needs.
Our team begins by clearing the installation area of any existing debris or plant material. We then level and compact the soil to create a stable base, often applying a weed barrier to reduce future weed growth. This preparation ensures a long-lasting, low-maintenance installation.
Unlike mulch, stone and gravel require minimal refreshing. However, depending on your landscape, you may choose to add a fresh layer every 2-3 years to maintain color and coverage. For high-traffic pathways, occasional leveling, re-edging the area, or replenishment may be necessary.
Yes, river rock and gravel are excellent options for improving drainage around garden beds, downspouts, or low-lying areas. These materials help water disperse efficiently, preventing pooling and protecting plants. We can help you design a functional drainage solution that complements your landscape.
Yes, stone and gravel can work well for most pathways. For high-traffic areas, crushed gravel or pea gravel provides a stable, comfortable surface. We can also install edging to keep gravel contained, making the pathway easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing.
Absolutely. Most stone and rock installations are durable and safe for pets. However, we recommend certain stone types, such as rounded river rock, for areas where pets may walk or play, as they are less likely to cause discomfort.
Stone and gravel are low-maintenance choices. To keep the area looking clean, we recommend occasional raking to remove debris and redistribute the stones. You may also need to pull weeds occasionally, though a weed barrier beneath the installation minimizes this issue.
Project timelines vary depending on size and complexity. Small installations may be completed in 1-2 days, while larger projects with multiple areas may take 3-5 days or more. We’ll provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Yes! Stone and gravel pair beautifully with features like mulched beds, dry creak bed features, stepping stones, and plant beds. We can create a cohesive landscape design that incorporates stone elements seamlessly with other features on your property.
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as the type of stone or gravel chosen. Our projects start at $500 for smaller installations and increase for larger, more intricate designs. We’re happy to provide a custom quote based on your landscape goals.
We do not offer “delivery only” services on stone or rock. We are a landscaping company and not a product supplier. If you require stone delivered for you to install on your own, we suggest contacting your nearest landscape supply company.

We've been using his Sherman's (from Lawnscape of CF) services for close to a year and a half now and we could not be happier. In my experience, his work is excellent, he's punctual, and always communicates before and after the job is done. He's never been late to perform the service on the scheduled date, and our yard is looking better than ever. Further, he's an extremely polite gentleman and an excellent communicator,. I would never hesitate to recommend Lawnscape of CF and Sherman to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy landscaping service.

I needed my front yard landscaping redone and Sherman was very patient, knowledgeable, and professional. He was nice enough to give me pointers and suggestions for other parts of the yard as well. Very happy with him and his crew they did an outstanding job. Installation looks great. Definitely recommend Lawnscape of CF and should I need more work in the future, I will be giving them a call. Great at communication and friendly.
Sherman and his crew completely re-did, and healed a very large yard -making it incredibly BEAUTIFUL! They worked hard, and were very kind and a pleasure to have around! Every time I go out to walk our dogs my heart bursts with delight by how beautiful the transformed yard is! We get many compliments from neighbors and friends! I can not recommend Sherman’s work (and his friends/crew) enough! They tore out a lot of failing plants, placed mulch in multiple beds- AND planted brightly colored flowers (red, pink, white Pentas blue daze, and more) The yard is gorgeous, bright, and we are very happy!! A+++ Exceedingly pleased!

I love it when Sherman and his crew come. They do a beautiful job and Sherman doesn’t mind giving me tips to make my yard stand out in the neighborhood. I have had him for 5 years, if he can’t come on time he calls me. It’s mostly due to the rain..I can expect that. Overall I would not trust anyone else to do as wonderful a job.
