    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 inches of decorative stone is enough for beds over fabric, while gravel drives and paths need three to four inches over a compacted base. One ton of typical crushed stone covers roughly 100 square feet at two inches deep.

    Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

    Measure the area in feet and note that stone is usually installed shallower than mulch, often two inches for decorative beds and three to four for driveways. Our calculator converts square footage and depth into tons, which is how stone is sold by weight rather than volume. Add about ten percent for uneven ground and settling into Farmington silt loam.

    Add landscape fabric to keep stone from disappearing into the silt loam, and edging to hold everything in place through Farmington's spring downpours. Boulders or a few larger accent stones finish out a drainage swale nicely.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Match stone size to the slope of your Farmington property. On flat ground pea gravel and small decorative rock stay put fine, but on the grades common toward the St. Francois hills, anything under an inch will migrate downhill with every thunderstorm. Once you pass a five percent grade, step up to two to four inch river rock or angular crushed stone, which locks together and holds its position.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Compact your base in lifts when building a gravel drive or pad. Dumping four inches of rock all at once onto Farmington silt loam guarantees soft spots and ruts by the second wet spring. Spread two inches, run a plate compactor or drive over it repeatedly, then add the second lift and compact again. The extra hour of work can double the life of the surface.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Plan gravel and stone work around water first, aesthetics second. Walk your property during the next real Farmington downpour and watch where the water actually goes, because with 44 inches a year you will see the paths clearly. Place your rock swales, downspout basins, and drip line borders along those routes. Stone installed where water is already traveling solves erosion permanently, while stone placed for looks alone often gets undermined.

    The Unique Landscape of Farmington

    Farmington sits at 948 feet on the edge of the St. Francois Mountains, so many properties around town have real grade to them, and 44 inches of yearly rain finds every one of those slopes. Decorative and drainage stone is the most durable way to handle that runoff, whether it is a gravel swale carrying water away from a foundation or river rock lining a downspout outfall. Because the underlying silt loam erodes readily once vegetation thins, stone armors the spots where mulch would simply float away. Stone also never needs replacing, which appeals to homeowners tired of topping off organic material every spring in this humid climate. For driveways and parking pads, crushed limestone with fines locks up tight and stands up to the freeze thaw cycles we get between October and April.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What size gravel should I use for a driveway in Farmington?

    Start with a base of larger clean rock, then top with crushed limestone containing fines, often called base rock. The fines bind under traffic and shed our heavy rain instead of letting it soak into the silt loam underneath, which is what causes potholes here.

    Answer

    Will river rock stop the erosion on my sloped backyard?

    It helps if you install it right. On Farmington slopes, lay landscape fabric first, then use two to three inch river rock rather than pea gravel, which rolls downhill in our downpours. For steeper grades, add a few larger stones as check points to slow water velocity.

    Answer

    Does stone mulch make beds too hot for plants around here?

    It can. Stone radiates heat, and a July afternoon in Farmington already runs into the nineties. Use stone in beds with drought tolerant plantings like sedum, yucca, and ornamental grasses, and stick with hardwood mulch around hydrangeas, azaleas, and anything else that wants a cool root zone.

    Answer

    How do I keep gravel from sinking into my soil?

    Silt loam swallows stone over time, especially after a wet Farmington spring. Install a quality woven landscape fabric or geotextile underneath before you spread. Without it you will be adding another yard of rock every two or three years.

    Answer

    What should I put under my downspouts?

    A small basin of two to four inch river rock over fabric works well. With 44 inches of annual rain, Farmington downspouts move a lot of water fast, and bare silt loam will scour a trench within one season. Extend the rock at least four feet out from the foundation.

    Answer

    Can I install stone in the winter?

    Yes. Unlike mulch and soil, stone does not care about temperature, and Farmington winters are mild enough that the ground rarely stays frozen deep. Just avoid days when the yard is saturated so the delivery truck does not tear up your turf.

    Answer

    How do I clean leaves and debris out of decorative stone?

    Use a leaf blower on a low setting in fall, which is essential in Farmington's older neighborhoods with mature oaks and maples. Organic debris that rots down into the rock becomes a seedbed for weeds, so a couple of passes each October keeps stone beds looking sharp for years.
