About this stone

#8 washed gravel: small angular crushed stone perfect for drainage, French drains, and concrete bases.

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.

Two to three inches is right for decorative stone in beds, three to four inches for driveway top dressing, and four to six inches of compacted base under patios and walkways. One cubic yard covers roughly 160 square feet at two inches deep.

Measure the area in feet, choose your depth, and remember stone is sold by weight as well as volume, so a cubic yard of limestone runs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons. Multiply square feet by depth in inches and divide by 324 for cubic yards. For irregular Cuyahoga Falls beds, break the shape into rectangles and triangles and total them.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Pair your stone with heavy woven landscape fabric, steel or aluminum edging that survives Ohio frost heave, and a few yards of screened topsoil to shape the grade before you spread. Larger boulders or wall block finish slope projects along the Cuyahoga valley nicely.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Match the stone shape to the job. Angular crushed limestone locks together and stays put on the sloping Cuyahoga Falls yards that drain toward the river, which makes it ideal for driveways, paths, and swales. Smooth river rock looks better in beds and around downspouts but rolls out of place on any real grade. Putting rounded stone on a slope is the most common and most frustrating mistake homeowners here make.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Build for frost, not just for looks. At 1,040 feet in Zone 6b, Cuyahoga Falls ground freezes and thaws repeatedly from December into March, and that movement destroys shallow work. Dig patio and walkway bases a full six inches deep, compact in thin lifts, and use metal edging staked at least ten inches down. Stone borders installed this way still look sharp after ten winters, while plastic edging is usually popped up by the second spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Give your downspouts a stone landing pad. Cuyahoga Falls roofs shed a lot of water across 40 inches of annual rainfall, and that concentrated flow carves craters in silt loam and drives moisture toward the foundation. Extend each downspout at least six feet from the house, then set a two foot by three foot bed of number 57 stone over fabric at the outlet. It stops erosion, spreads the flow, and needs no maintenance.

The Unique Landscape of Cuyahoga Falls

With 40 inches of rain falling on Cuyahoga Falls each year and plenty of yards sloping toward the Cuyahoga River gorge, water movement is the defining landscape problem here. Stone solves what mulch cannot, holding grade on slopes, armoring downspout outlets and swales, and creating surfaces that do not float away in a June thunderstorm. It is also the right choice against foundations and along driveways, where silt loam stays damp and organic mulch breaks down fast in our humid summers. Because stone does not decompose, it survives the Zone 6b freeze and thaw cycles that shove pavers and rot wood edging out of place. For Cuyahoga Falls homeowners tired of replacing washed out mulch every spring, gravel and decorative stone are a one time investment that just stays put.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What size stone should I use in landscape beds around my house?

Three quarter inch to one and a half inch river rock or decorative gravel works best for Cuyahoga Falls beds, since anything smaller migrates during our heavy spring rains and anything larger is awkward to plant through. Keep stone at least six inches away from siding and grade it so water runs away from the foundation.

Answer

Will stone stop the runoff coming off my slope?

Yes, if you size it for the volume of water. On the moderate grades common in yards above the Cuyahoga valley, a two to four inch layer of number 57 limestone or washed river rock in a shallow swale handles typical downspout and roof runoff from our 40 inch rainfall.

Answer

How much gravel do I need for a driveway repair?

For patching potholes and ruts, figure three to four inches of compacted crushed limestone, which is about one cubic yard per 100 square feet. Cuyahoga Falls driveways take a beating from winter plowing and spring thaw, so most homeowners top dress with a yard or two every couple of years.

Answer

Does landscape fabric really help under stone here?

It helps a lot in Cuyahoga Falls because our silt loam is fine textured and works its way up into stone voids over time, giving weed seeds a place to root. Use a heavy woven fabric, not thin plastic film, and overlap seams by at least six inches.

Answer

What stone should I use as a base for a patio or walkway?

Use crushed limestone with fines, commonly called number 411 or road base, compacted in two inch lifts to a total of four to six inches. That depth matters in Northeast Ohio because a shallow base lets frost heave lift and tilt pavers over the first winter.

Answer

Is stone a good idea right against my foundation?

It is one of the best uses for it on Cuyahoga Falls homes, since stone stays dry, does not hold moisture against block or siding, and will not wash out during a downpour. Just make sure the grade falls away from the house at least six inches over the first ten feet.

Answer

Can I put stone over my existing mulch?

Better to remove the old mulch first, because it will keep decomposing under the stone and leave you with a settled, soil filled layer that grows weeds within a season. Scrape the bed down to firm silt loam, lay fabric, then add your stone.
