Stone handles the heavy lifting in Pittsburgh. Mulch and soil handle the planting areas on clay loam ground. Combine all three for one delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Permeable stone surfaces reduce stormwater runoff compared to solid concrete or asphalt and may qualify for environmental incentives, tax credits, or rebates in some Pittsburgh area jurisdictions.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Wear safety glasses when operating compaction equipment or cutting any stone material. Chips and fragments fly unpredictably during hardscape work and eye injuries are unfortunately very common.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Most properly installed stone patios and paths last 20 to 30 years with only minimal maintenance required. Concrete and asphalt rarely last that long in Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycle climate.

The Unique Landscape of Pittsburgh

Stone is a low‑maintenance finish that stays crisp season after season. Pittsburgh freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, stone is a smart choice for low-maintenance areas, drainage fixes, and high-traffic spots. It’s great for edging, drainage zones, and decorative areas that need to stay put. Use edging and, where appropriate, fabric to reduce mixing and weeds. Match the material to the use—pathways, borders, drainage, or a clean decorative finish. Bulk delivery is the easiest way to tackle a real project without the hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What if I ordered the wrong stone?

Reach out before delivery—swaps are often possible then. Post-delivery changes are harder. Review your confirmation email immediately.

Answer

What's the difference between decorative rock types?

Round vs angular matters most. Rounded decorative rock shifts underfoot; crushed angular stone compacts and stabilizes.

Answer

Where will you drop the stone?

Your choice of location. At checkout, mark the drop spot and add any access details or placement preferences.

Answer

How do I prepare the area for stone?

Strip grass, grade the base away from buildings, compact, lay fabric, spread stone. With Pittsburgh's clay loam, base prep matters a lot.

Answer

Is stone safe for kids and pets?

Smooth stone like river rock and pea gravel works fine for play areas. Avoid sharp crushed stone where kids run barefoot. Light colors stay cooler.

Answer

How much stone do I need?

Varies by material: fine gravel around 100 sq ft per ton, chunky rock 60–70 sq ft at similar depth. Use our calculator and round up.

Answer

What stone is best for drainage?

Go with crushed stone, 1–2 inch size. Angular pieces interlock for stability while spaces between allow drainage.
