Measure the area in square feet, then choose a depth of 2 to 3 inches for decorative use or 4 or more for driveways and bases. Stone is sold by weight in some cases, so note that one cubic yard of crushed limestone runs around 2700 pounds. Add 5 to 10 percent for settling and irregular edges.

Order landscape fabric and steel or aluminum edging with your stone, since both are essential for keeping material from sinking into soft silt loam or spreading into the lawn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Grade before you place stone. Water follows the surface underneath your rock, not the rock itself, so a dry creek bed on flat ground is just an expensive puddle. Establish a fall of at least 1 inch per 10 feet toward wherever you want water to exit. On Sedalia lots that usually means directing runoff toward a side yard swale rather than the back corner where it always collects.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Compact your base in layers. Dumping 6 inches of crushed limestone and running a plate compactor over it once gives you a hard top and a loose bottom that settles all winter. Spread in 2 inch lifts, dampen slightly, and compact each one. Sedalia freeze thaw cycles between October and April will expose every shortcut you took during installation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Match stone color to your home and your dust. Light limestone brightens a shaded north bed but shows every bit of the fine tan dust that blows around Sedalia in dry August weeks. Darker river rock and granite hide debris better and stay cleaner looking between maintenance. Look at samples wet and dry, because rock color shifts dramatically once our rain hits it.

The Unique Landscape of Sedalia

Sedalia gets about 42 inches of rain a year, and much of it comes in fast, heavy bursts that overwhelm silt loam soil and carve channels through mulched beds. Decorative and drainage stone gives water somewhere to go without moving downhill itself. Around downspouts, along driveways, and in the low areas common on Pettis County lots, stone stays put where organic material washes away every spring. It also handles the freeze thaw cycling between the October 17 first frost and the April 14 last frost far better than mulch, which mats and heaves. For high traffic paths, dry creek beds, and foundation strips, stone is a one time investment that outlasts a decade of annual mulch orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What size stone works best for a Sedalia driveway?

Crushed limestone in a 3 quarter inch minus base topped with clean 1 inch stone holds up well on Sedalia silt loam. The fines in the base lock together and resist rutting, which matters here because saturated silt loam turns soft fast after our spring rains.

Answer

Will river rock stop the erosion in my backyard?

It will if you size it correctly. A dry creek bed lined with 2 to 4 inch river rock over landscape fabric handles the flash runoff Sedalia yards see during summer thunderstorms. Pea gravel is too light and will migrate downhill after the first big storm.

Answer

How much stone do I need around my downspouts?

A typical splash area of 3 by 4 feet at 3 inches deep takes roughly a sixth of a cubic yard, so one yard covers several downspouts. Extend the stone at least 4 feet from the foundation, since Sedalia silt loam holds water against basement walls when runoff pools close in.

Answer

Does stone need landscape fabric under it?

Yes for most Sedalia applications. Without a barrier, stone sinks into soft silt loam within a couple of wet seasons and you lose half your material. Use a woven fabric rather than the thin plastic type, and overlap seams by 6 inches.

Answer

Is stone or mulch better around my foundation in Sedalia?

Stone wins if drainage is your concern or if you are tired of replacing mulch every April. Mulch wins for plant health, since stone radiates heat and Sedalia August afternoons already push shrubs hard. Many homeowners here use stone on the sunny south and west sides and mulch elsewhere.

Answer

Will weeds grow through my stone?

Eventually, yes. Windblown silt and organic debris collect between stones and create a seedbed, which happens quickly in Sedalia given our humidity and rainfall. Blowing the stone clean each fall and spot treating in spring keeps it manageable for years.

Answer

Can I use stone for a patio base here?

Absolutely, and you should. Compacted crushed limestone base 4 to 6 inches deep over a fabric layer prevents the settling that plagues Sedalia patios built directly on silt loam. Add an inch of sand for leveling pavers on top of the compacted base.
