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.

How much stone? Depends on the job. In Wilmington, beds and borders run 2 inches. Paths and driveways need 4 to 6 inches or more.

Stone Types We Deliver in Wilmington

Mulch Mound delivers bulk stone by the cubic yard to homes and properties across Wilmington, making it simple to complete everything from drainage fixes to full backyard makeovers. If you have been searching for bulk gravel by the yard or need a decorative stone to complement Delaware's varied landscape styles, we carry the varieties that perform best in this part of the state. Our stone is sold loose by the yard and delivered direct to your property when your project is ready.

Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is a go-to choice for Wilmington pathways, patios, and drainage beds, performing reliably in the region's clay-heavy soils. Its smooth, rounded stones and warm earth tones suit the older brick homes and newer construction common throughout Delaware, and the loose texture stays comfortable underfoot year-round.

1-2" River Stone

The 1 to 2 inch river stone suits decorative ground cover, dry creek beds, and feature landscaping on Delaware properties. Its smooth, water-worn surface and neutral tones blend naturally with mature trees and shade gardens, and its heavier profile stays in place through the region's wet spring and fall weather.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Your Wilmington project probably needs more than stone. Add mulch for bed protection and soil for healthier plantings in silt loam ground. One order does it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill large areas with stone working from the back forward so you never walk on finished sections. Footprints in freshly placed stone take considerable time to rake out and look unprofessional.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A ton of gravel covers approximately 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on stone size and shape. Larger stone sizes cover less area per ton than smaller crushed gravel products.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Avoid limestone gravel anywhere near acid-loving plants like azaleas, blueberries, and rhododendrons. Limestone slowly raises soil pH as it breaks down, stressing these plants over time.

The Unique Landscape of Wilmington

For paths, borders, and drainage, stone is hard to beat. Wilmington humidity and storms can fuel weeds and washout without good coverage. In Wilmington, Delaware, 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. Base prep and edging keep stone from migrating into the lawn. 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

Click a question to see the answer

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

What stone is best for pathways?

Go with pea gravel or crushed varieties for paths. They stabilize underfoot. Large decorative rock is too shifty.

Answer

What stone works around plants?

Neutral options like granite work for planting areas. Limestone raises pH gradually, which hurts acid-loving plants.

Answer

Will stone affect my soil pH?

Limestone and marble chips raise pH over time. Granite and river rock are neutral. Choose based on nearby plants' needs.

Answer

How much stone do I need?

Coverage depends on stone size. Small gravel covers about 100 sq ft per ton at 2 inches. Larger rock covers less. Calculate your area and add 10%.

Answer

Does stone help with drainage?

Definitely. Stone allows water passage that prevents pooling. In Wilmington, where piedmont-coastal transition is common, this is a major benefit.

Answer

Where will you drop the stone?

Wherever you want—driveway, side yard, curbside. Specify at checkout and include any helpful notes for our driver.
