“I heard about His Workmanship through a google search online and I’m so thankful that I did. Eric was quick to respond to my emails and got me on the schedule right away. I had a huge landscape project that ended up taking well over 100 hours of labor. Each of the crews showed up on time and worked very hard shoveling river rock. I would highly recommend His Workmanship.” – Candy

His Workmanship was wonderful to work with! Eric provided great communication and our project went according to plan. We needed our overgrown garden weeded as we didn’t have time to spend out there this spring. We would look to hire them for future projects.
The work done was excellent. Did exactly as asked. Very hard worker.
Thank you Zak and Logan for your help moving all of our furniture and boxes into our truck! They arrived on time, were very professional and kind, and took direction really well to fit our vision of packing up the truck. I would 100% hire them again!
crew showed up on time and did an excellent job. Anthony was a great crew leader.
The crew was polite and communicative. They worked hard and were very good at clarifying just what I wanted. I will definitely be using them again!
The Workmanship team did a wonderful job trimming my shrubs. Everything was done exactly as I requested and I particularly liked the team's professional working attitude.
This is actually our 2nd time using His Workmanship Landscaping services and we couldn't be happier. These guys are very professional, show up on time, pleasant to talk to, easy to work with and eager to get to work. The quality of their work is very good and the speed that they get things done is amazing! I booked these guys for a major yard overhaul thinking it would take about 8 hours and they finished in about 6 and that was after we added a few things to the project last minute! Like I said, they're happy to do what they do and they are great at doing it! If you have any yard work to be done, trust me and call these guys!
The crew that came out to serve at my home were very helpful and hardworking. They went above and beyond to get the work done.
I was referred to His Workmanship and I'm so pleased with the work. I had weeding done (very overdue) and the areas look great! Jack and Hunter managed to get every weed from my driveway too. I fully recommend His Workmanship and I appreciate their responsiveness and I feel the cost is very reasonable.
Showed up on time- worked hard and very conscientious! Will use them again! Worth every dollar
His Workmanship sent 2 outstanding workers to do a difficult weeding job in a landscaped area, bordering a natural area. The two workers started immediately, and didn’t stop until the project was completed. The workers even suggested, and completed some additional tasks.The entire process was an excellent experience.When you want an excellent job, call His Workmanship.
Very professional and conscientious team! I look forward to working with His Workmanship on future projects.
These guys are awesome! On time, got down to business right away, loaded the truck carefully and with thought. Highly recommend.
Fast, efficient, friendly, thorough and very reasonably priced. Will use them again. - Nick
The guys showed up early, worked hard without a break, and did a wonderful job. Our yard looks amazing now and they saved us hours of backbreaking work. Best money I've spent in a while.
This was my first time hiring His Workmanship. I will definitely use them again. Grant and Bryant were on time and called ahead to check due to bad weather. Their work was outstanding! Thank you so much.
Great service, Great job! Will hire again
I was very pleased with the workmanship and integrity of this group! Mason and Gavin were committed to doing a good job of clearing a heavily weeded area with decorative rock and lots of dirt beneath to put down a new fabric barrier. They then replaced the decorative rocks. They did a great job and I am happy with the outcome! I would not hesitate to recommend this group to others needing hard tasks accomplished.
showed up on timedid the best they couldcleaned up after themselvesvery respectfulvery good for projects that could use a few extra hands
Wonderful company! Great crew! Will definitely use again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some rock installation companies charge by the cubic yard and others charge by the hour. It generally takes 1 person 1 hour to install 1 cubic yard of rock. Hourly rates tend to be $50 – $70 per hour per laborer. So if, for example, you need 10 cubic yards of rock spread, then it’ll probably cost between $550 – $650. As for calculations, 1 cubic yard = 1.15 tons and 1 cubic yard = 27 square feet.
River rock is the most popular choice for landscape rock around houses and it also happens to be one of the cheapest options too. River rock is usually priced at anywhere between $60 – $80 per yard. Crushed granite and pea gravel are on the lower price end too, but they are not nearly as common.
Most residential properties have river rock that is 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inches. River rock is smooth, polished, medium-sized and adds a decorative aspect to garden beds. Pea gravel is the smallest option coming in at only 3/8 inches. Given the tiny size, pea gravel is a great choice for a playground or pathway. Crushed granite is a good selection if you have hilly terrain since it drains very well and will prevent puddling. Check out our recent blog to learn more about Landscaping Rocks to Use Around Homes: Type, Size and Color.
If you’re installing a different kind of rock than you already have in place, you will need to remove the old rock before laying new rock. While it may be tempting to just put new rock over old rock, this would be a mistake. The reason is because landscape rock that’s too deep will spill over into your grass. Also, if there is foot traffic on the rocks, the walking may cause the older layer of rocks to be exposed and this would look bad.
Start by clearing the rocks of any leaves or branches. If you have landscape fabric underneath the rock, then you won’t need to replace that unless it is in very bad condition. You should be left with an area that only has a weed barrier laid down and pinned to the ground. Then you’ll be ready to install stones.
You will need a shovel to scoop up the rocks and a wheelbarrow to relocate the rocks to areas that need it. Since rocks are heavy, you should only fill the wheelbarrow up about halfway full. Dump the wheelbarrow of rocks in separate areas so there are multiple rock piles. Then use a metal rake to spread out the rock evenly. For further reading on the topic, view our blog How to Spread Landscape Rock: Your Complete Guide to Installation.
You generally want to have a layer of rock that is roughly 2 inches thick. If you have less than that, the fabric will get exposed in some parts. If you have more than that, the rock may spill over the edging and into the grass. That said, when you order the landscape rock from a local supplier, you should err on the side of getting too much because it’s better to have rock too thick than too thin.
You should ask for a ballpark estimate on the total cost for your stone installation project. Be ready to share about how many tons of rock you ordered and how far the rock pile is from the landscape beds. Ask the rock installation service how long they’ve been doing it and what their process is like. Google their company name to make sure they have good reviews online.
