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!

Try Our CalculatorMeasure length and width in feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Most Franklin stone projects need 2 to 3 inches of surface coverage plus base material underneath, so calculate those layers separately. If you are ordering by the ton instead of by yard, figure about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed limestone.
Round out your stone order with woven landscape fabric, which is essential over Franklin's fine silt loam, plus paver base or crusher run for anything you plan to walk or drive on. Steel edging keeps decorative stone from migrating into the lawn after heavy rain.
Service area
Use woven geotextile fabric, not the thin spun plastic sold as weed barrier. Franklin silt loam is fine enough to pump right through cheap fabric during the saturated stretches we get in February and March, and once silt fills the voids in your gravel the drainage is finished. Woven fabric separates soil from stone while still letting water pass, and it is the difference between a gravel area that lasts two years and one that lasts fifteen.
Compact base stone in lifts, not all at once. Spread 3 inches of crusher run, run a plate compactor over it, then add the next lift. A single deep pour never reaches full density in the bottom, and Franklin's wet winters plus freeze and thaw cycling will expose that soft layer as ruts and dips by the second spring. Dampening the stone lightly before compacting also helps the fines lock the aggregate together.
Think about where stone sends water before you place it. A gravel runout that dumps toward your foundation or your neighbor's yard causes bigger problems than the erosion it was meant to fix, and with 52 inches of rain a year Franklin gives you plenty of chances to find out. Set a slope of at least 2 percent away from structures, and end drainage runs in a planted area or a rain garden that can absorb the volume.
Franklin gets 52 inches of rain a year and much of it comes in fast, heavy events that overwhelm gutters and cut channels through mulched beds. Decorative and functional stone gives you a surface that does not float away, which is why river rock downspout runouts and gravel swales are so common across Williamson County. Our silt loam holds water at the surface and turns soft underfoot, so gravel paths, patio bases, and driveway repairs all depend on a properly compacted stone foundation to stay level. Stone also fits the local look, since limestone is the bedrock under Franklin and gray crushed aggregate reads as native rather than imported. Unlike mulch, stone does not decompose in our humid summers, so a well built stone feature stays put for years with almost no maintenance. For any spot where water moves or feet travel, stone is the durable answer.
