Overview
About Landscaping Rock
Landscaping rock is our decorative stone for the finished, planted parts of a project — the color and texture you see in well-kept beds, borders and feature areas. Laid over landscape fabric it earns its keep: it suppresses weeds, slows evaporation so soil stays moist longer, resists wind and washout, and never needs the yearly top-up that bark mulch demands. The result is clean, lasting curb appeal with almost no upkeep — and because it does not burn, it is a smart fire-wise choice in the band right around a home. Use it to mulch beds, define borders, build rock gardens and xeriscapes, and accent dry landscapes, with color and size options to match your design.

Landscaping rock is our decorative stone for the finished, planted parts of a project — the color and texture you see in well-kept beds, borders and feature areas. Spread over landscape fabric, it earns its keep: it suppresses weeds, slows evaporation so soil stays moist longer, resists wind and washout, and never needs the yearly top-up that bark mulch demands. The result is clean, lasting curb appeal with almost no upkeep.
Use it to mulch planting beds, define borders and edges, build rock gardens and xeriscapes, and accent features and dry landscapes. Because it does not burn, it is also a smart fire-wise choice in the band right around a house. Sold by the ton; a 2"–3" layer is typical, and we will help you convert your bed area into tonnage. Ask us about color and size options to match your design.

Questions
Landscaping Rock — FAQ
- Does landscaping rock stop weeds?
- Laid over landscape fabric, it strongly suppresses weeds and holds soil moisture — far less upkeep than bark mulch, which breaks down and needs replacing.
- How much rock do I need for my beds?
- Plan on a 2"–3" layer. Tell us your bed dimensions and we will convert the area into tons for you.
- Can I get different colors and sizes?
- Yes — ask us about the color and size options so we can match the look you are going for.

QuarryVirgin Baserock (AB Class 2)
Virgin baserock is the structural backbone of paved construction — a quarry-fresh Class 2 aggregate base crushed from solid stone and graded continuously from three-quarter inch down to fines. Because every particle is freshly fractured and angular, the blend keys together and compacts into a dense, rigid platform that distributes traffic loads down to the subgrade without rutting, pumping or settling. It is the same material specified beneath California highways, parking structures and building pads — certified to a minimum R-value of 78 and a sand equivalent of 22 under Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 26. When your project demands a clean, certified, load-bearing foundation engineered to perform for decades, this is the base to build on.
QuarryWash Baserock
Wash baserock delivers the structural performance of Class 2 aggregate base with a cleaner, free-draining character. It is the same crushed base material run through a wash plant to flush out excess silt and clay fines — the result is a low-dust product on the jobsite and a more permeable platform that lets water move through rather than perch on top. It still keys together and compacts under pavement and pads, but it is the smarter specification wherever drainage, cleanliness and a tidy backfill matter as much as raw stiffness. Crews choose it under permeable pavers, behind retaining walls and as pipe and utility base where washed material is preferred or required.
RecycledRecycled Base (Class II)
Recycled base is reclaimed concrete and asphalt, crushed and screened back into a graded three-quarter-inch aggregate that meets Caltrans Class II strength — engineered performance at a materially lower cost. The crushing process leaves the same angular, interlocking particle shape as virgin rock, so it compacts into a hard, stable platform that carries load just like quarried base, with a mild self-cementing tendency that can stiffen it further over time. For the vast majority of driveway, lot and pad work it performs on par with new base while diverting demolition debris from the landfill — a genuine sustainability advantage that can also support green-building credits. Produced on site at our French Camp yard, supply stays steady, local and competitively priced.
