Decorative Stone & Rock in West Palm Beach, FL

Typical delivered prices for decorative stone and rock in West Palm Beach range from about $50 to $120 per ton, depending on stone type, color, and availability. Larger orders and common local materials tend to be toward the lower end, while specialty colors or imported stone are toward the higher end. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers zip-code-specific quotes, so check your delivery zip code for an exact price.

For West Palm Beach landscapes, popular choices include 3/8" pea gravel or crushed quartz for planting beds, 1"-2" river rock for accent beds, and 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run for driveways. Choose harder, non-porous materials like granite or quartzite for driveways to resist Florida's heavy rain and frequent foot traffic; shells and soft limestones work well for coastal color but can compact and shift. Color choices should reflect local taste and HOA rules, and regional availability often determines what is most affordable.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers across the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro so you can compare bulk pricing and delivery options without calling multiple yards. Enter your zip code on our site to see available stone types, exact per-ton pricing, and delivery windows. For the best pricing, request a quote for at least the 3-ton minimum and ask about volume discounts for larger orders.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1" depth, and 1 cubic yard of decorative stone is roughly 1.3 tons. That means per 100 sq ft you need about 0.4 tons at 1" depth, 0.8 tons at 2", and 1.2 tons at 3". Always round up to allow for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum delivery.

Salt spray and high humidity can encourage staining, mineral deposits, and algae on porous stones, while heavy tropical rains can wash fines and cause settling if materials are not properly installed. Choose dense, weather-resistant stones like granite, quartzite, or well‑graded crushed stone for high‑traffic or exposed areas; shells and soft limestones offer a coastal look but may require more maintenance. Good edging, proper base preparation, and occasional rinsing reduce climate-related issues.

Many West Palm Beach neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about front-yard landscaping, color choices, and percentages of hardscape versus plantings, and some projects that change drainage may require permits. Before ordering, check with the City of West Palm Beach zoning/code enforcement and your HOA design guidelines to confirm restrictions or approval processes. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can remind you to verify permits and suggest contractor contacts.

For long-lasting results remove topsoil in high-traffic areas, install a geotextile fabric if weed control is a priority, place a compacted base of crushed stone for driveways or pathways, and then spread decorative stone to the desired depth. Edge restraint is important to prevent migration, and slope toward drains to avoid standing water during heavy rains. Tailgate spreading may be available from drivers on request, but always plan for final grading and compaction by hand or with a plate compactor where needed.

Decorative stone can last many years—often 10+ years—if installed correctly, with only periodic maintenance like raking, debris removal, and occasional top-ups. In West Palm Beach you should inspect and remove organic debris every 6-12 months and check for washouts after heavy storms; algae or staining may require pressure washing or a mild cleaner. Expect to add a light top-up of stone every 1-3 years in high-traffic or exposed areas.

Slip resistance depends on stone size and texture: small angular crushed stone gives better traction when wet, while smooth river rock or polished stones can be slippery and are not recommended adjacent to pool decks. For pool surrounds, use textured, stable materials and install proper edging and drainage to prevent migration and standing water. Always check local code for pool setbacks and non-slip surface requirements before installing stone near pools.

Decorative stone typically costs more upfront than mulch but less than high-quality pavers, and it offers lower ongoing maintenance and longer lifespan than mulch. Pavers are the most expensive option but can add resale value and provide a durable, finished surface for driveways and patios; crushed shell is often economical locally but compacts and may wash away, requiring more frequent replenishment. Consider lifecycle costs, desired look, and drainage needs when choosing, and get quotes for both materials and installation before deciding.
