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.

Decorative beds usually need 2 to 3 inches of stone, walkways and pads need 4 inches or more with a compacted base, and dry creek beds need 4 to 6 inches to handle real storm flow. Always add landscape fabric underneath on Dyersburg silt loam.

Measure the area in square feet, then decide your depth in inches and divide the square footage by the coverage number for that depth. At 2 inches one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, and at 4 inches about 81 square feet. Remember that stone weighs roughly 2,500 pounds per yard, so confirm your driveway and drop area can handle the load.

Add heavy woven landscape fabric and steel or paver edging to keep the stone from migrating into the lawn, and pick up a few yards of topsoil to shape the swale grade before the rock goes down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Shape the grade before a single rock goes down. Stone follows water, it does not redirect it. On Dyersburg lots the mistake we see most often is a dry creek bed dug too shallow, so the first three inch rainfall simply jumps the channel and cuts a new one through the yard. Excavate a defined trough at least six inches deep with a consistent fall, compact the bottom, then fabric and fill.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Match stone shape to slope. Rounded river rock looks great in flat beds but rolls out of place on any grade, and Dyersburg's storm intensity will move it downhill fast. On slopes steeper than about a 10 percent grade, switch to angular crushed stone that interlocks and stays put, or set larger 6 to 12 inch rock as anchors with smaller stone filled around them. It will save you raking rock back uphill every June.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not skip the base under walkways. Silt loam is soft and pumps upward into thin gravel layers once it gets saturated, which is exactly what happens here during a wet March. Excavate four to six inches, lay woven fabric, install and compact crushed limestone base in two inch lifts, then set your pavers or top gravel. A properly based Dyersburg walkway stays level for years instead of sinking by the second winter.

The Unique Landscape of Dyersburg

With about 50 inches of rain falling on Dyersburg each year, much of it in intense spring and early summer storms, water management is the single biggest landscape challenge here. Silt loam erodes readily once it is bare, and downspout outfalls, swales, and driveway edges are usually the first places homeowners see gullies form. Decorative and drainage stone solves what mulch cannot, because it stays put under moving water and does not decompose. Stone also gives Dyersburg yards a low maintenance option in the tight, hot spots along south facing walls and driveways where organic mulch cooks away in a single Zone 7b summer. From walkway bases to dry creek beds, the right size and type of rock keeps a landscape looking sharp between the April 5 last frost and the October 28 first frost and straight through winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What size stone should I use for a dry creek bed in my yard?

For most Dyersburg lots, a mix works best. Use 2 to 5 inch river rock in the channel where storm runoff moves fastest, and blend in smaller 1 to 2 inch stone along the edges. Given how quickly our silt loam scours during heavy storms, always lay landscape fabric underneath first.

Answer

Will gravel keep my driveway from washing out during heavy rain?

Crushed limestone with fines, often called crusher run, locks together and resists washing far better than rounded pea gravel. On sloped Dyersburg driveways, it still helps to install a cross drain or a shallow diversion at the top so 50 inches a year of runoff is not funneled straight down the drive.

Answer

Is stone or mulch better along my foundation?

Stone is the safer choice within the first foot or two of a Dyersburg foundation because it does not stay damp or feed insects the way wood does in our humidity. Just be aware that stone reflects heat, so keep heat sensitive plants like azaleas and hydrangeas out of the reflective zone along south and west walls.

Answer

How do I stop weeds from coming up through my rock beds?

Use quality woven landscape fabric under the stone, not thin plastic sheeting, which traps water on our already slow draining silt. Even so, our roughly 200 day growing season means airborne seed will eventually root in the dust that settles between rocks, so plan on a spot spray each spring and a blower pass in fall.

Answer

How much gravel do I need for a parking pad?

A 20 by 20 foot pad at 4 inches deep takes about 4.9 cubic yards of crushed stone. On Dyersburg silt loam we recommend a 4 inch base course of larger crushed rock topped with 2 inches of finer material, since the native soil is soft and will pump up through a thin single layer.

Answer

Does stone get too hot for plants in a Dyersburg summer?

It can. Light colored gravel in full sun reflects heat and can push surface temperatures well above 120 degrees on a 95 degree July day here. Use stone around drought tolerant selections like yucca, sedum, ornamental grasses, and juniper, and keep it away from shallow rooted shade lovers.

Answer

Can your truck get into my backyard with a load of rock?

Usually we deliver to the driveway, because a loaded truck will rut soft Dyersburg silt loam badly, especially in the weeks after a big rain. If you need stone in the backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing it from the pile or hiring a small skid steer to move it once the ground is dry.
