A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

Blended limestone with #1 at 2 to 4 inches and #2 at 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Columbus projects get the drainage capacity and base stability this combination provides. Limestone is a Columbus landscape workhorse. It drains when wet, holds up under traffic, and maintains its function year after year. Practical material for demanding applications.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Stone handles paths and borders, but Columbus beds need more. Add mulch for weed control and soil to improve planting conditions on clay loam ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Permeable stone surfaces reduce stormwater runoff compared to solid concrete or asphalt and may qualify for environmental incentives, tax credits, or rebates in some Columbus area jurisdictions.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Slope all stone surfaces away from structures at minimum 1 inch per 4 feet of distance. Proper pitch prevents water from pooling against foundations and causing expensive moisture damage to your home.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fix low spots in gravel driveways immediately when you notice them forming. Water pools in depressions, softens the base layer underneath, and makes the problem progressively worse over time.

The Unique Landscape of Columbus

Decorative stone is an easy way to upgrade function and curb appeal. Columbus freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Columbus, Ohio, 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. Use edging and, where appropriate, fabric to reduce mixing and weeds. From pea gravel to river rock, size and shape change how it drains and how it stays put. 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

Which stone color stays coolest?

Choose lighter shades: white marble, tan pea gravel, pale granite. Dark stone overheats in Columbus's warm months.

Answer

How do I prepare the area for stone?

Excavate vegetation, grade for water flow, compact subgrade, fabric down, then stone. Columbus's clay loam demands thorough preparation.

Answer

Will stone sink over time?

Without fabric and compaction, yes. Columbus's clay loam makes settling worse. Invest in proper base preparation to avoid it.

Answer

Will stone affect my soil pH?

Yes, certain types. Limestone and marble slowly raise pH. Granite and similar stone won't affect surrounding soil chemistry.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Order 10% over your calculation. Stone settles and spreads. One delivery trip costs less than two based on mileage.

Answer

What depth should stone be?

Decorative areas need 2 inches, paths 3–4, driveways 4–6. Given Columbus's 40-inch annual rainfall, err toward deeper.

Answer

What stone is best for pathways?

Crushed stone and pea gravel work best—they lock together. Large round rock makes unstable walking surfaces.
