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.

Super easy to order the rocks. They showed up on time, dumped right where I said, and everything worked great.

One ton of gravel covers roughly 80 square feet at 2 inches. Durham decorative beds stay at that depth. Paths and driveways go deeper.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Hardscape meets softscape in Durham. Stone builds your paths and borders while mulch and soil prep your planting beds on clay loam ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Blow leaves off stone surfaces rather than raking them during fall cleanup. Raking displaces carefully placed stone and mixes organic debris into the gravel layer where it decomposes and feeds weeds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pull volunteer tree seedlings from stone beds when they are tiny for clean removal. Small roots come out cleanly. Large established roots disturb surrounding material significantly when removed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A good quality stone rake has a flat back for spreading material and sturdy tines for fine grading work. Combination rakes save considerable time switching between tools during installation.

The Unique Landscape of Durham

Stone is a low‑maintenance finish that stays crisp season after season. Durham North weather swings can wear on beds and walkways without the right materials. In Durham North, Carolina, stone is a smart choice for low-maintenance areas, drainage fixes, and high-traffic spots. It defines beds and builds paths that stay neat after storms. Base prep and edging keep stone from migrating into the lawn. Match the material to the use—pathways, borders, drainage, or a clean decorative finish. Bulk delivery saves you the bag runs and puts the material right where you want it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is stone safe for kids and pets?

Pick rounded varieties for play areas—pea gravel and smooth river rock. Crushed stone edges are too sharp for barefoot kids and pets.

Answer

Does stone help with drainage?

Yes, water percolates through rather than sitting on top. Stone works great in Durham's problem drainage areas.

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

Which stone color stays coolest?

Lighter colors—white marble chips, tan gravel, light gray granite. Dark stones absorb heat and can burn bare feet in Durham summers.

Answer

Is stone or mulch better for slopes?

Angular crushed stone is most stable. Shredded mulch also works. Avoid round stone and chunky chips on inclines.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Yes—about 10% more handles settling and edge irregularities. Delivery is mileage-based, so one trip beats two.

Answer

How do I prepare the area for stone?

Clear vegetation, slope away from structures, compact ground, install fabric, add stone. Durham's piedmont clay makes prep work crucial.
