About this service

River rock landscaping uses smooth, rounded stones, typically gathered from riverbeds, to create natural-looking ground cover or drainage solutions. These rocks are excellent for areas prone to water runoff or for creating dry creek beds. You should use them if you want a low-maintenance, polished appearance that handles heavy rain well. Costs move up or down based on the quantity and transport distance; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is the best time for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials. The soil is still warm from summer, but the air is cooler, which helps roots establish before the frost. We also handle leaf removal and winterizing your irrigation lines to prevent freezing, ensuring your yard is protected and ready for the colder months ahead.
