Crushed Rock or Gravel Landscaping

Incorporating crushed rock into your commercial property landscaping design will reduce the amount of water needed to maintain what would otherwise be grass. In an area where grass does not grow well, crushed rock can be incorporated to create a whole new outdoor space, like a courtyard or patio. Spruce up your picnic area with a crushed-rock pathway, or cover any dirt only area with gravel for a relatively easy-to-maintain, yet updated, appearance.

We sure hope if you are looking for help with your landscape maintenance needs you will take the time to give us a call at 623-484-8277.

These hardscape materials come in many sizes and colors and these differences can be used in creating very creative looks and designs.

Crushed rock or small gravel is usually delivered by the dump truck load.  Your staff will need to use wheelbarrows to move smaller loads to your work areas.

A crushed rock courtyard is an especially good choice for an area where grass doesn't grow well or where there isn't enough sunlight to support a full garden. You need to clear the area before putting down the rock. If there is little sunlight to begin with, simply go over the entire area with a garden rake and remove whatever grass is growing. Tamp down the dirt. To kill any remaining grass, lay down sheets of landscape fabric and wet it with the hose. Outline the courtyard with plastic edging to keep the rock in-place. Put down the crushed rock and even it out with a rake, tamping it down to secure the rock.

Create a truly special outdoor space by planting shade-loving plants and groundcovers beyond the edge of the rock. A warmer climate like Phoenix, will support fragrant gardenias; gardenias love warm shady spots. Lay flagstones in one part of the courtyard before installing benches or small tables and chairs.
