What Are Rock Roads in Landscaping?

Rocks are bulk materials product that plays an essential role in decorating for many residential and commercial landscaping services. Rocks roads, especially, provide an accent to the overall landscape design of the outdoor space of a home.

Over the years, landscape industries sold rocks for rock roads in a variety of colors, sizes, and materials. Rock roads have become a popular alternative to driveways and decorative concrete roads in landscaping because of how it naturally provides style and design to the overall landscape.

How Much Does Rock Roads Service Cost For My Outdoor Yard?

One of the most loved ways that rocks are used in landscaping a home is the gravel driveway. The cost of installing a gravel driveway to add aesthetic appeal to your property includes:

• size and depth of the road
• gravel type
• soil conditions

• excavation
• grading
• permits

A typical 1-car gravel driveway would cost $300-$900 while a 2-car gravel driveway would cost around $600-$1,800. We install gravel driveways to residential and commercial properties at an affordable price.

A gravel driveway on a lawn is preferred by many of our clients because they are cheaper compared to other driveway materials like asphalt and concrete. Likewise, gravel comes in many colors, is an eco-friendly landscaping material, definitely adds curb appeal, and will last up to 100 years with sound maintenance.
