Rock can be a great addition to any landscaping project. Landscaping supply companies can help you with rock delivery. This is often an easier and safer way to transport crushed stone or other types of landscaping rock to your property. Landscaping rock is a popular choice today with an estimated 425 million metric tons of crushed stone being produced and shipped in the US, according to Amazon. Let's look at a few things you should consider before ordering rock.

Know Your Purpose

If you have never landscaped with rock before, you will want to take some time to research the different types that are available, and the best way each type is used. There are different landscaping stones for different purposes and for different types of property. If you are unsure of which type you need for your purposes, be sure to talk with a landscaping expert before you schedule a rock delivery.

Check With Your HOA

If you have a Home Owner's Association (HOA) in your community, you should definitely check to make sure there are no limitations on the types of stone you can use. In some cases, there might even be restrictions on where you can place stones. Most HOAs have very strict rules concerning the front or road-facing parts of the home. If you order stone and then discover you can't use it, you will have wasted a lot of time and money.

Consider Your Budget

If you're trying to accomplish your landscaping goals within a budget, you should definitely take some time to compare the prices of different types of rock. There can be a big difference in price. If you can accomplish your goals with a less expensive type, then that might work better for your budget. If you fall in love with a more expensive type, adjust your budget accordingly.

Consider Maintenance

You might also want to consider if the type of rock you are choosing will require any type of maintenance. Some stones will require that the area be refilled every once in a while. Some might become discolored over time as well. You want to make sure you can live with the maintenance of the stone you choose.
