Try Our CalculatorMeasure length and width in feet and pick a realistic depth, usually two to three inches for decorative coverage and much deeper for drainage trenches. Remember that stone is sold by volume but delivered by weight, so a small area still adds up quickly. Run the numbers through the calculator before ordering.
Add landscape fabric under every stone installation and steel or aluminum edging to hold the line, and consider a few yards of mulch for the softer planting areas that stone does not suit.
Service area
Build your stone areas with drainage in mind from the start. Lexington Park sits low on the peninsula and water needs somewhere to go sideways rather than down a slope. Grade any gravel path or patio base with a slight pitch away from the house, even a quarter inch per foot, and tie downspout stone into that path. Water then follows your plan instead of finding its own way toward the foundation.
Order the right size for the job rather than the prettiest. Fine pea gravel looks great in a photo but shifts underfoot and disappears into sandy loam quickly. Angular crushed stone locks together and stays where you put it, which matters on a peninsula where every summer storm tries to move it. Use rounded river rock for splash zones and dry creek beds, angular stone for paths and bases.
Rinse decorative stone after installation. Even washed products carry some dust, and once our first summer downpour hits, that dust turns to a gray film that dulls the color of river rock and marble chips. A hose down right after spreading, before the stone settles, brings out the natural tones and gives you a clean starting point for years of low maintenance.
Stone earns its keep in Lexington Park because water moves through here in volume and in a hurry, with 43 inches falling largely in summer cloudbursts and winter fronts off the Chesapeake. Sandy loam is easy to erode, so downspout outfalls, side yard swales, and driveway edges cut channels quickly unless they are armored with gravel or river rock. At only 115 feet of elevation, drainage on this peninsula is about moving water sideways and letting it soak, not sending it downhill, which is why French drains and dry wells built on clean stone are so common in local yards. Stone also solves the maintenance problem in areas where organic mulch simply washes out year after year. In Zone 8a there is no hard freeze thaw cycle to heave a gravel path, so a properly built stone surface stays put for a decade or more. For homes near the water, stone shrugs off salt air that would degrade other materials.
