Place your order and we will bring the material right to your property or job site.
Pea Gravel
Pea gravel is the most popular choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance ground cover that stays attractive through the region's humid summers. Its smooth, rounded edges feel comfortable underfoot on pathways and patios, and the natural earth tones complement the brick and craftsman home styles common in this part of South Carolina.
7/8" River Stone
This 7/8 inch river stone sits between fine pea gravel and larger decorative rock, making it a smart fit for driveways, garden borders, and drainage channels. Its smooth, rounded surface handles the heavy rain events common to the South Carolina Piedmont while adding a tidy, finished look to yard projects.
1-2" River Stone
The 1 to 2 inch river stone brings bold, natural character to local landscapes and works especially well in dry creek beds that channel runoff across sloped lots. These smooth, sizable rocks also frame planting beds and garden features with a clean, polished look that holds up through hot, wet South Carolina summers.
Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project
Your Anderson project probably needs more than stone. Add mulch for bed protection and soil for healthier plantings in red clay ground. One order does it.
Natural flagstone and irregular stone varies considerably in thickness from piece to piece. Budget extra material and installation time for sorting and fitting irregular pieces together properly.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Dig out 4 to 6 inches of existing soil before laying gravel paths through lawn areas. Setting stone at or slightly below grade level keeps material contained and prevents spillover onto grass.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Taper stone depth from 3 inches at the center to 2 inches at outside edges for crowned paths that shed water. This profile directs rainwater to both sides instead of pooling in the middle.
The Unique Landscape of Anderson
Stone creates clean lines and durable surfaces that don’t break down. Anderson South weather swings can wear on beds and walkways without the right materials. In Anderson South, Carolina, stone gives you clean lines and a finish that won’t break down or wash away like organics. It’s great for edging, drainage zones, and decorative areas that need to stay put. A firm base and clean borders make stone look sharp and stay put. Choose stone by function: drainage rock, walkway gravel, or decorative river rock. Delivery lets you finish the project in one go—no hauling, no repeat trips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Click a question to see the answer
Answer
What's the difference between decorative rock types?
Size and shape vary: large round rock for visual interest, small pea gravel for functional areas, crushed angular stone for stability.
Answer
What depth should stone be?
Depends on use: 2 inches decorative, 3–4 inches paths, 4–6 inches drives. Anderson's 50 inches of rain yearly means deeper helps.
Answer
Where will you drop the stone?
You decide—driveway, yard, street. Checkout lets you specify placement and add notes about obstacles or access.
Answer
How much stone do I need?
Coverage depends on stone size. Small gravel covers about 100 sq ft per ton at 2 inches. Larger rock covers less. Calculate your area and add 10%.
Answer
Can I put stone directly on grass?
Skip that shortcut. Grass underneath dies but stays lumpy. Remove it, prep the base right, then proceed with fabric and stone.
Answer
Stone vs mulch—which is better?
Each has advantages. Stone is permanent and drains well; mulch improves soil and costs less. Use both in different Anderson zones.
Answer
What stone is best for drainage?
Larger angular stone like 1–2 inch crushed rock. Gaps allow water flow while edges lock together. In Anderson's compacted red clay, proper drainage stone matters.
Answer
Is crush and run the same as crusher run?
Crush and run refers to crushed stone blended with stone dust that packs tight into a firm base for driveways and walkways. For Anderson properties dealing with red clay and shifting weather, our Crushed Stone #57 is a better fit where clean drainage matters, since it stays open and won't trap water against a base.
Answer
Is there a stone yard near Anderson?
Ask the counter at a stone yard for crushed stone and you'll get a loaded truck bed to haul yourself. We skip that. Mulch Mound delivers crushed stone by the cubic yard to your Anderson driveway or yard, and it holds firm over red clay, so edging and drainage areas stay put through the wet and dry swings, with no trip to a quarry.
