Figure square footage first, then choose your depth, and remember that stone is priced by the ton rather than the cubic yard. As a rule of thumb, one ton of crushed stone covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches or 70 square feet at 3 inches. Add 10 percent for irregular Harrison terrain and settling into cherty ground.

Add steel or stone edging to keep gravel where you put it on sloped lots, and pair with landscape fabric plus a few yards of mulch for the planting beds nearby.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Compact in lifts, not all at once. When building a driveway or path on Harrison's cherty silt loam, spread no more than 3 to 4 inches of stone at a time and run a plate compactor or roller over each layer before adding the next. A single deep dump never consolidates properly and will rut the first time a loaded truck crosses it after one of our heavy spring rains.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lightly wet crushed stone with fines while you compact it. The moisture helps the small particles migrate into the voids and lock the larger pieces together, which is how a driveway gets that hard, road like surface. Bone dry stone just shifts under the compactor. Harrison summers dry material out fast on the pile, so plan on a hose or a wait for the right conditions after rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Set your drainage stone before the winter freeze thaw cycles start. Harrison's first frost lands around October 25, and repeated freezing and thawing heaves soil, opens gaps along trench edges, and shifts poorly seated rock. Finishing swales and French drains in September or early October gives everything a chance to settle and knit in while the ground is still workable and before winter runoff tests your work.

The Unique Landscape of Harrison

Harrison sits in limestone and chert country, so stone is not an imported look here, it is what is already under your feet at 1,247 feet of Ozark elevation. That matters practically, because the 46 inches of rain that fall on Boone County each year have to go somewhere, and on the sloped lots common around town that water carves channels through mulch and bare soil. Gravel and decorative rock hold their ground where organic material floats away, making them the right choice for drainage swales, downspout runouts, driveways, and steep bed edges. Stone also solves the freeze thaw problem, since a Zone 7a winter with a first frost near October 25 brings repeated cycles that heave soil and shift lighter materials. Around foundations and along walkways, a stone band keeps splash back and moisture away from siding. Chosen well, it is the one landscape material you install once and rarely touch again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What size gravel works best for a driveway in Harrison?

A crushed limestone base of 2 to 3 inch rock topped with a 3/4 inch minus surface layer holds up best on Boone County driveways. The fines in the minus lock together and compact into a firm surface. Skip round river rock for driveways, since it never binds and will scatter under tires and after heavy rain.

Answer

How much stone do I need to cover a bed?

Multiply length by width for square feet, then plan on about 100 square feet per ton at 2 inches deep for most crushed stone. A 200 square foot bed takes roughly 2 tons. Stone is sold by weight rather than volume, and heavier materials like river rock cover slightly less per ton.

Answer

Will gravel help with the runoff coming off my Harrison hillside?

Yes, when it is placed as part of a proper swale or French drain rather than just scattered. A trench lined with fabric, filled with 1 to 2 inch washed rock, and pitched to daylight will carry a surprising amount of the water Harrison's spring storms deliver. Size it for the volume coming off your roof and slope, not just the visible channel.

Answer

Does landscape fabric go under stone here?

Yes, and it is worth it. Under gravel, fabric keeps stone from sinking into cherty silt loam and slows weeds considerably. Use a woven fabric rather than thin plastic sheeting, which tears and traps water. Overlap seams by at least 6 inches, because Harrison rainfall will find any gap you leave.

Answer

How do I keep weeds out of my gravel areas?

Fabric underneath, at least 2 to 3 inches of stone depth, and a solid edge to keep soil and mulch from washing in. Most gravel weeds in Harrison grow in the organic debris that collects on top, not from below, so blow out leaves and grass clippings each fall before the October frost. A spring pre emergent handles the rest.

Answer

Can I put stone right up against my foundation?

A 12 to 18 inch stone band along the foundation is a good idea in Harrison because it stops rain splash from staining siding and keeps mulch moisture off the wood. Keep the grade sloping away from the house at about an inch per foot, and make sure downspouts discharge past the stone rather than into it.

Answer

How often does gravel need to be replenished?

Decorative beds usually hold for many years with occasional raking. Driveways in Boone County typically need a fresh top layer every three to five years, sooner if you are on a slope where runoff pulls material downhill. Adding a bit of crown to the driveway surface sheds water to the sides and stretches the interval considerably.
