Sod Installation

River rock mulch is growing in popularity for residential and commercial properties, but is it the right choice for you? Understanding why people choose a river rock mulch install over other types of mulch can help you decide.

​

Natural and Versatile Look

​

River rock is well-known for its beauty and for the versatile colors, sizes, and shapes they come in. Choosing river rock mulch means having a unique pattern and more natural look than wood chips.

​

Safe Material

​

Most mulch poses a fire hazard. However, river rocks are not flammable, so it is safe to use them all the way up to your home.

​

Natural Weed Deterrent

​

River rock mulch adds weight to your soil and prevents the sun from shining through. This limits or eradicates weed growth without having to pull them or use harmful chemicals.

​

Provides Circulation

​

Though the rocks do add weight to the soil and prevent the sun from making its way through, their shapes prevent them from packing together tightly. This allows air to circulate through to your soil, keeping it healthy without allowing too much soil erosion.

​

Great for Drainage

​

In addition to allowing air to circulate, the stones' inability to pack together leaves cracks for water to flow through. This helps prevent flooding while allowing rainwater to reach the soil. These draining characteristics make river rocks an excellent choice for all climates. However, those who live somewhere with high amounts of rain or near water runoff often benefit most.

​

One additional advantage of choosing river rock mulch is that you can use it underneath sod installation. In doing so, you get to experience the joy of having a green lawn while still preventing flooding.
