Materials We Install
Decorative Gravel & Rock Installation
Whether you’re refreshing existing rock, finishing a xeriscape, or adding decorative gravel to a prepped area, we can deliver and install your material so you don’t have to move it by hand.
Mulch Installation
Fresh mulch improves the look of planting beds while helping retain moisture and reduce weeds. We’ll deliver and spread mulch neatly around trees, shrubs, and garden beds.
Topsoil & Sand Installation
Need soil placed for planting beds, lawn repair, or soil improvement? We can deliver and spread soil throughout your prepared project area.
Pathway Chat, Cobble & More
We also install pathway chat, cobble, playground wood chips, and other bulk landscape materials. Landscape fabric and staples can be added to many installation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my project area need to be prepared before installation?
Yes. This service is intended for areas that are already excavated, graded, and ready to receive material.
If your project requires sod removal, excavation, grading, drainage corrections, irrigation changes, or edging, ask about our Site Prep & Material Installation service.
What does landscape material installation include?
Our crew delivers the material, moves it into the prepared project area, spreads it, and rough-levels it.
Exact installation details depend on the material, project size, access, and approved estimate.
What materials can you install?
We commonly install:
- Decorative gravel and landscape rock
- Mulch
- Topsoil and soil blends
- Sand
- Pathway Chat
- Decorative cobble
- Playground wood chips
- Other bulk landscape materials
Contact us if you’re unsure whether a particular product is suitable for installation.
Can you install landscape fabric?
Yes. Commercial-grade landscape fabric and staples can be added to many gravel, rock, and pathway projects when included in the estimate.
The project area must still be properly prepared before fabric and material installation begin.
Do you compact the material?
Compaction is not automatically included with every installation. Some materials and projects require compaction, while decorative rock and mulch generally do not.
Let us know how the finished area will be used so we can determine whether compaction should be included in your estimate.
Can you deliver multiple materials in one load?
To keep materials clean and ensure you receive the correct quantity of each product, we only deliver one material per truckload.
If your project requires multiple materials, we’ll coordinate separate loads and recommend an efficient delivery and installation schedule.
How is installation pricing determined?
Pricing depends on:
- Material type and quantity
- Project access
- Distance from the delivery location to the installation area
- Whether machinery can access the area
- Wheelbarrow or hand-labor requirements
- Fabric, compaction, or other requested additions
Photos or a short project video can help us provide an accurate initial estimate.
What if I’m not sure whether my area is properly prepared?
Send us photos or a short video of the project area. We’ll help determine whether it’s ready for material installation or whether site-preparation work is needed first.
Ready to Skip the Heavy Lifting?
If your project area is prepared and ready for material, Rock N Yard can coordinate the product, delivery, and installation through one company.
