Landscaping Rocks for Practical, Low-Maintenance Outdoor Spaces
Landscaping rocks are a simple way to shape an outdoor space that lasts. Whether you’re building a walkway, edging a garden bed, or refreshing your front yard, the right rock type can improve drainage, reduce weeds, and define structure without much upkeep.
We supply four common types of landscaping rocks: Rundle Gravel, Montana Rainbow Gravel, Drain Rock Gravel, and Road Crush Gravel—each available in multiple sizes to match project needs.

Choosing the Right Size and Type of Landscaping Rocks
The function of your space often determines the right gravel type and size. Smaller stones like 10MM and 14MM work best for tight areas or where compactness matters. Larger sizes offer better drainage and visual contrast.
If you’re unsure which material to use, consider the area’s exposure to water, the type of load it will bear, and the look you want to achieve. Alternatively if you have questions? Call us at 403-300-3478—we’re here to help.
