Choosing the Right Decorative Rock Size

½-inch and smaller rock: Ideal for decorative accents, smaller planting areas, and detailed landscape designs.

​

1½-inch and smaller rock: A versatile choice for larger landscape beds, borders, and areas where you want a natural mixture of stone sizes.

​

2–4-inch rock: Creates a bold, textured appearance for larger decorative areas, dry creek beds, and landscape features.

How Much Decorative Rock Do You Need?

Planning your decorative rock project starts with accurate measurements. Whether you're creating a garden border, refreshing a flower bed, or covering a large landscape area, knowing how much rock to order can save time, money, and unnecessary trips.

​

Measure Your Area: Multiply the length by the width to determine the square footage. For irregular areas, divide the space into smaller sections and add their measurements together.

​

Choose Your Rock Depth: Many decorative rock installations use a depth of approximately 2–3 inches, depending on rock size, application, and desired coverage. Larger rocks may require greater depth.

Prepare the Ground: Remove weeds and debris, level the soil, and install appropriate edging. Consider a suitable landscape fabric where needed, while allowing for proper drainage.

​

Spread and Level: Distribute the rock evenly, maintaining your planned depth and keeping material away from building siding, drainage openings, and plant crowns.

​

Calculate Before You Order: Our upcoming Decorative Rock Calculator will help you estimate cubic yards and approximate tons based on your project's measurements. Final quantities depend on material density and installation conditions.

How to Maintain Decorative Landscape Rock

Decorative landscape rock is a durable, low-maintenance way to enhance your Utah property. With a little routine care, Strawberry Cream™ Decorative Rock can maintain its natural beauty through changing seasons.

​

Remove Leaves and Debris: Use a leaf blower on a low setting or gently rake away leaves, twigs, and other debris without disturbing the stones.

​

Control Weeds Early: Remove unwanted plants before their roots become established. Landscape fabric can help reduce some weed growth, but windblown seeds may still germinate above the fabric.

​

Refresh the Surface: Over time, dust and soil can accumulate between rocks. A gentle rinse may help restore their natural appearance. Avoid high-pressure washing that could scatter smaller stones.

​

Maintain Proper Drainage: Check that rock beds are not blocking drainage paths or directing water toward foundations.

​

Inspect Edging and Coverage: Seasonal freezing, thawing, and foot traffic can shift stones. Redistribute displaced rock and replenish thin areas when necessary.

​

Enjoy the Natural Color: Strawberry Cream™ combines red, pink, purple, white, brown, black, and gray stones, creating a distinctive landscape without relying on artificial coloring.
