About this stone

Classic pea gravel with smooth, rounded edges and natural earth tones. A versatile favorite for pathways, patios, drainage, and decorative ground cover.

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.

The right amount depends on project type and stone size. In Portland, decorative beds use 2 inch depth. Driveways and paths need 4 to 6 inches.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Stone creates structure in Portland yards. Mulch fills in the planting beds with color and weed protection. Soil underneath gives plants a better start.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not skip the gravel base layer under pavers, flagstone, or any hardscape surface. Properly compacted gravel base prevents settling, heaving, and cracked surfaces. It is absolutely not optional.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Plan stone delivery before ground freezes in Portland if you want to complete projects before winter. Frozen ground makes proper grading and compaction impossible and delays work until spring thaw.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Skip the cheap thin landscape fabric for under stone beds. Thin fabric tears easily during installation and weeds root through it within a season or two, defeating the entire purpose.

The Unique Landscape of Portland

Decorative stone is an easy way to upgrade function and curb appeal. Portland freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Portland, Maine, stone helps control mud, define spaces, and keep your landscape looking sharp. Stone keeps areas crisp, helps water move correctly, and looks good long-term. Use edging and, where appropriate, fabric to reduce mixing and weeds. Pick the right size for the job, from decorative rock to compactable gravel. Delivery keeps the focus on the work, not on loading and unloading bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much stone do I need?

Different sizes, different coverage. Pea-sized gravel goes further per ton than chunky rock. Calculate area, use our sizing tool, add 10%.

Answer

Does stone help with drainage?

Yes, water percolates through rather than sitting on top. Stone works great in Portland's problem drainage areas.

Answer

What stone works around plants?

Granite and neutral rock types work with most plants. Limestone slowly raises pH, so skip it near azaleas and similar acid-lovers.

Answer

Stone vs mulch—which is better?

Different strengths. Stone for durability and drainage, mulch for soil health and cost. In Portland, match material to the specific area.

Answer

Can I put stone directly on grass?

Skip that shortcut. Grass underneath dies but stays lumpy. Remove it, prep the base right, then proceed with fabric and stone.

Answer

Can stone damage my foundation?

Not the stone—but improper drainage will. Grade stone areas away from the house. Leave a gap at the foundation for inspection.
