Decorative Stone & Rock in portstlucie, FL

Prices vary by stone type and supplier, but expect roughly $45 to $120 per ton for common decorative stones in the Port St. Lucie area. Using a typical density of about 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, that equals about $65 to $190 per cubic yard delivered. Premium or specialty stones (large river rock, quartz, imported stone) can run higher, so request a quote for exact pricing to your zip code.

Homeowners in Port St. Lucie commonly choose 3/8" to 3/4" pea gravel and 3/4" crushed stone for driveways, and 1" to 2" river rock or polished stone for landscape beds and accents. Lighter, sandy tans, buff, white, and shell-colored stones are popular locally because they match the coastal look and stay cooler in the Florida sun. Natural shell mixes and crushed coquina blends are also widely used here due to local availability and the coastal aesthetic.

There are local landscape supply yards, nurseries, and quarry/aggregate suppliers that stock decorative stone in Port St. Lucie; availability depends on regional sourcing and seasonal inventory. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers to deliver bulk stone—enter your zip code on the site to see supplier options and delivery availability. For best results, compare material photos and request a delivery window and any special handling notes at checkout.

For 100 sq ft, expect about 0.31 cubic yards at 1" depth, 0.62 cubic yards at 2", and 0.93 cubic yards at 3". Using a rule-of-thumb density of 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, that translates to roughly 0.45 to 0.50 tons at 1", 0.9 to 1.0 tons at 2", and 1.35 to 1.5 tons at 3". Always round up for edging, compaction, and sloping areas and ask your supplier for a precise material weight.

Yes—decorative stone performs well in Port St. Lucie if installed with proper grading and drainage. Stone is permeable, so it generally allows water to pass through, but on slopes or flood-prone areas you should use larger-sized rock, install edging, and add geotextile fabric or proper underlayment to limit migration into sandy soils. For channels, swales, or erosion-prone spots, use larger riprap or engineered stone solutions and consult local suppliers or contractors for best practices in high-rainfall conditions.

Basic delivery and spreading by a landscaper can range from about $2 to $6 per sq ft for simple projects, while full preparation (grading, weed barrier, edging, compacted base) typically runs $5 to $12 per sq ft. Prices depend on site access, slope, hauling distance, stone type, and whether edging or fabric is included. Get 2-3 local bids and include material delivery fees when comparing total costs.

Compared with mulch, stone lasts much longer and needs less frequent replacement but retains more heat and can be harder on plants; mulch is better for soil moisture and cooling but must be refreshed yearly. Versus pavers, decorative stone is less expensive up front and more permeable, but pavers offer a more permanent, load-bearing surface for driveways. Shell rock provides a coastal look and is locally common here, but it breaks down faster and may require topping more often than crushed stone or river rock.

Routine maintenance includes occasional raking to level the surface, removing organic debris, spot-weeding or applying pre-emergent herbicide, and replenishing thin areas after storms or high-traffic use. In Port St. Lucie's climate you may need to top up decorative stone every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, stone type (shell breaks down faster), and storm impact. For weed control consider a permeable geotextile and edging at installation, and inspect after heavy rains to address any migration or erosion.

Order at least the minimum (3 tons) or more to allow for coverage and waste; confirm delivery date and any site access restrictions at checkout. Hello Gravel delivers via dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it in your order notes but do not assume it will be provided. Take photos of the drop zone for the supplier, note overhead wires or tight driveways, and add a contact phone number so the driver can coordinate placement.
