Why Choose Rock or Gravel?
Unlike mulch or pine straw, rock and gravel don’t decompose or fade quickly. They provide a long-lasting, weed-resistant ground cover that holds up through Charleston’s humidity, storms, and heat. Rock installations require minimal upkeep and offer a cleaner, more modern aesthetic — perfect for homes, businesses, or rental properties.
Benefits of Rock & Gravel Landscaping:
Long-term durability (no need for seasonal refreshes)
Excellent weed suppression with proper fabric and layering
Erosion control for sloped areas or heavy rain zones
Visual contrast and texture in beds or around walkways
Reduced maintenance compared to organic materials

Frequently Asked Questions
Is rock or gravel better than mulch?
Both have benefits. Mulch is great for organic soil improvement but breaks down over time. Rock and gravel offer longer lifespan, less maintenance, and better drainage — especially in erosion-prone or high-traffic areas.
Do you install weed barrier under gravel?
Yes. All rock and gravel installations include high-quality weed barrier fabric, properly staked and overlapped to prevent growth while allowing drainage.
Can you create drainage solutions using rock?
Absolutely. We design and install dry creek beds, gravel swales, and rock channels to redirect water away from structures or low spots.
Will gravel affect my existing plants?
We adjust rock type and depth to ensure proper air and water flow to your plants. In some cases, we may recommend alternative ground cover around sensitive root systems.
