About this stone

Classic pea gravel with smooth, rounded edges and natural earth tones. A versatile favorite for pathways, patios, drainage, and decorative ground cover.

The driver nailed it on putting the gravel I ordered in front of my trailer and between the sidewalk. Very satisfied with how my flowerbeds look now.

How much stone? It varies by project. Decorative beds in Cary need about 2 inches. Driveways need 4 to 6. Larger stone covers less area per ton.

Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is a go-to choice for Cary homeowners who want a clean, low-maintenance ground cover that holds up through hot Carolina summers and wet winters. Its smooth, rounded edges are gentle underfoot on pathways and patios, and it drains well in the clay-heavy soils common across this part of North Carolina.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric under decorative stone surfaces, never plastic sheeting. Fabric allows water to drain through while blocking weed growth. Plastic traps water, kills plants, and creates drainage problems.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never use pea gravel for driveways, parking areas, or anywhere vehicles drive regularly. Small round stones scatter badly under tires and track endlessly into garages, houses, and anywhere you walk.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pressure wash river rock and decorative stone every few years to restore original colors. Dirt, algae, and mineral deposits dull the surface appearance, especially in shaded Cary areas with moisture.

The Unique Landscape of Cary

Stone is a low‑maintenance finish that stays crisp season after season. Humid Triangle summers and spring downpours can beat up beds if materials aren't refreshed. In Cary, North Carolina, stone helps control mud, define spaces, and keep your landscape looking sharp. Stone stabilizes high-traffic spots, improves drainage, and reduces weeding.

Answer

Can stone damage my foundation?

Not the stone—but improper drainage will. Grade stone areas away from the house. Leave a gap at the foundation for inspection.

Do I need to be home for delivery?

Nope. Specify where to drop it, choose your time slot, add any relevant notes. Works great even if you're not there.

Answer

Can I leave special delivery notes?

Yes—notes section handles gate codes, placement requests, access info. We check and follow every instruction.

Answer

Is stone safe for kids and pets?

Answer

Where will you drop the stone?

Where you indicate. Select location at checkout and include any relevant notes about access or preferred spots.

Will stone affect my soil pH?

Limestone and marble chips raise pH over time. Granite and river rock are neutral. Choose based on nearby plants' needs.
