Low Water or Drought Tolerant Landscaping is called Xeriscaping. This is a landscaping approach that focuses on the proper selection of landscape elements and the efficient use of water. It encourages careful landscape planning and the use of sensible landscape design techniques. Xeriscaping can dramatically reduce landscape water use by 50% to 75%. This can be achieved by adopting various water conservation techniques such as planting drought tolerant plants, using permeable pavers and mulches, installing efficient irrigation systems, and reducing the turf area. Installing landscaping rocks on specific areas in the landscape will also help you save water and reduce maintenance cost. We can design you a very beautiful landscape using exciting flowering plants and shade trees, low water efficient irrigation with decorative gravel, rock, stones, cobbles and boulders and any other features you desire.

The square foot coverage per ton of gravel will vary slightly with the surface and designs of the project, waste etc. will affect area coverage. The information is based on average ton and cubic yard amounts. This decorative building stone has naturally occurring colors and shade variations. These are what gives this stone the natural beauty and uniqueness that causes its appeal. Color tones change can sometimes occur with aging or maintenance practices of the location it is installed at therefore exact matching of existing stone may not always occur. During processing or transportation dust will adhere to the rocks and change its appearance on arrival but we guarantee all stone to be true to the specific brand name, type and size ordered or complete exchange including transportation costs will be made.
After installation is completed the rock should be rinsed off to show the natural beauty and character.
