Ann Arbor Stone, Picked Up in Saline

Shopping for decorative stone Ann Arbor side usually means one of two things: a homeowner done re-mulching the same front bed every May, or a contractor who needs ten yards of river rock on site by Thursday. We sell to both, about half and half. Our yard sits on Michigan Ave just south of town, a short run down State Street or US-23.

You can see every stone in the bins before you buy. Bring a photo of the bed, a rough measurement, and we will point you at the right size and color. Want to compare all the options first? Our full stone lineup lists what we carry through the season.

River Rock for Landscaping Around Ann Arbor Clay

Most of Ann Arbor sits on heavy clay. Water sheets off it, puddles against foundations, and drags fine mulch right down the driveway. Rounded stone does not float, so river rock for landscaping is the usual fix for downspout splash zones, foundation strips and the low corner of the yard that stays wet into June.

In Water Hill and the Old West Side, lots tilt toward the old Allen Creek drainage that runs under the neighborhood. A dry creek bed of mixed river rock handles that runoff and still looks like it was meant to be there. If the bed under it needs work first, start with a layer of screened topsoil for Ann Arbor beds so the grade sends water where you want it.

Pea Gravel and White Rock for Burns Park Front Beds

Tight front yards on older Ann Arbor streets get looked at every time someone walks a dog past. White landscape rock reads clean against dark foundation shrubs. Pea gravel is softer underfoot and better for paths between perennials. Both hold their look through a Michigan winter without a spring refresh.

Pick a decorative stone Ann Arbor clay will not swallow in two seasons. Lay landscape fabric, edge the bed, then go two to three inches deep. Pairing stone with perennials from our Ann Arbor-area benches keeps the bed full without the weeding.

Crushed Stone for Ann Arbor Paths and Parking Pads

Angular crushed stone locks together under weight. That makes it the pick for side-yard paths, trash can pads and the extra parking spot so many rental-heavy blocks near campus end up needing. Pea gravel rolls and scatters under tires. Crushed stone stays put once it is compacted.

Plan four inches or more for anything that sees feet or wheels daily. Send the measurements and we will work out how much decorative stone Ann Arbor paths like yours need before you drive down.

Boulders and Landscape Stone for Ann Arbor Slopes

Large landscape stone does structural work on a slope. A few set boulders can hold a terrace edge, break up a long lawn, or anchor a rain garden. That last one comes up a lot here, since plenty of Ann Arbor homeowners have taken the county’s Master Rain Gardener class and need stone for the inlet and overflow.

If you would rather hand off the layout, our landscape design help sketches the bed and figures stone placement before anything is ordered.

Bulk Decorative Stone Delivered to Ann Arbor

Bags make sense for a planter. For a bed, bulk decorative stone by the yard costs less and saves you hauling forty bags out of a hatchback. Bring a truck or trailer and we load it with the loader, or schedule delivery to your Ann Arbor address and we will drop it where the pile will not block the garage.

Doing mulch in the back and stone in the front? We can bring both on one trip. See mulch delivered in Ann Arbor for the bark side of the order.

Ann Arbor Decorative Stone Questions

Do you deliver decorative stone to Ann Arbor?

Yes. We deliver bulk stone to Ann Arbor addresses. Call with the product, the quantity and where you want the pile, and we will set a delivery window.

How much stone do I need for a bed?

Multiply length by width in feet, multiply by depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Beds usually take two to three inches. Paths and parking pads need four or more.

What is the best decorative stone for Ann Arbor clay soil?

River rock and crushed stone both work well over clay because they do not float or break down. Lay landscape fabric first so the stone does not sink into the clay over time.

Is decorative rock for landscaping better than mulch?

Stone lasts for years and holds its color. Mulch breaks down and feeds the soil, which plants like. Many people use stone near the house and on paths, and mulch in planting-heavy beds.

Can I see the stone before I buy it?

Yes. Everything sits in open bins at our Saline yard on Michigan Ave. Bring a photo of your house or a paver sample and compare colors in person.

Do you sell decorative stone to contractors?

Yes. Roughly half our bulk business is contractors. We load trucks and trailers at the yard and handle repeat orders through the season.

Can you install the stone for me?

Installation is available through the affiliated KBK Landscaping crews. Our design help can also lay out the bed before you order.

How far is your yard from downtown Ann Arbor?

We are on East Michigan Ave between Saline and US-23. From downtown Ann Arbor, take US-23 south to the Michigan Ave exit and head west toward Saline.
