“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

The workers arrived promptly & immediately began what I had hired them to do. They worked efficiently & cleaned up after they were done.
Danny and Chris showed up early to the job. They are both professional, courteous and pleasant. They asked good questions during the job and did everything to my husband's expectations. He keeps saying, "It looks much than if I would have done it myself." Thank you His Workmanship!
I am so happy to find Eric's website of HIS WORKMANSHIP - Detroit area for labor services. As a gardener ages, it's hard to ask for help. Partly, it's because the vulnerability factor of letting workers come to your home and the quality of work that results (people don't wanna pull weeds) and how much is the cost.
I am a satisfied customer. I recommend this group of young people that are not afraid of "work".
I wish more older seniors knew about this group. There was prompt response from Eric on the services I required and I was on the schedule that week. The 2 guys assigned were wonderful in their cordial attitude and quality of the work preformed.
I will use this group again.

My home needed some spring clean up attention. I reached out to this landscaping service. Eric, contacted me right away. We set up a time within a few days. The workers were punctual. They were kind and hardworking. I set up for the time completed not the job completed. It was difficult to know how long things would take. I will be hiring them again soon and on a regular basis in the future.
A great organization to work with. Got back to us quickly. Work was done in a timely manner and the team that arrived were very kind, thorough and helpful.
We were so incredibly happy with the work that "His Workmanship" did. They were able to finish everything we wanted and we were so impressed with the results. Both guys were great! We would absolutely hire them again!
Will and Elijah worked like true professional landscapers. I just had to show them once on what had to be done; weed, spread 3 yards of cedar mulch front & back, remove old heavy rotted wood border, and insert new edging. They went right to work finishing sooner than the 4 hours I signed up for. Will and Elijah were the most courteous and conscientious in their work. I do have a big yard, and with the spread of all that cedar and the weeds gone ,I have the one of most beautiful and cedar fragrant yards in the neighborhood. And Eric, I consider my self a lucky guy for finding you and His Workmanship out of the blue to choose you, and you selecting Will and Elijah to do the job for me (us).
The 2 crew members that came out to work in my yard were very task-oriented and extremely conscientious of what needed to be done. I had a very big project going on, which required digging, moving heavy stones, mulching and some other challenging work that kept both of these young men on their feet for 4 hours.They weren't just hard-working they were polite and represented their company well. Both of these young men worked in my yard for 2 Saturdays in a row, and they did an incredible job. I wish more young people have their positive attitude and stamina.
They did a great job. I’d definitely use them again.
His Workmanship is responsive, quick and reliable. My team of two showed up on time, and were friendly, hardworking and capable. I have already booked them to come back.
These guys are the best. Extremely hard workers.
Efficient scheduling and on time polite and hard working workers. Would hire again
Such a breath of fresh air to have a company with trustworthy hard workers. Will for sure be reaching out for future projects!
I'v used these guys for various landscaping needs for the past couple of years. They are good guys who work hard and want to do a good job. They communicate well and a pleasant to work with.
They did a terrific job- they were on time and did a fantastic job on the project and cleaned up well
The crew worked quickly. I didn't have a project large enough for 3 crew members because they work effectively and at a steady pace.
We are pleased with our finished project!
We recently hired His Workmanship to weed and mulch our flower beds, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, communication was professional and prompt, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Sam, the crew leader, was excellent—organized, knowledgeable, and ensured everything went according to plan. Owen did a fantastic job completing the work on time and with great attention to detail. Our flower beds look fresh and beautifully maintained.

We highly recommend His Workmanship to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping services!
I was very impressed with how quickly I was able to schedule the job. The two workers were able to come an hour earlier than planned and they finished the entire job in less than the 3 hours that I booked. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I was very pleased with the work of Elijah, Dylan and Kobi! I scheduled another session this week to complete the back yard. I will be using them to keep my beds pristine! They planted begonias around my waste receptacles and 2 lavenders in the newest flower bed, removed leaves and weeds from existing bed and edged the front trees and beds! Excellent workers.
Eli and Hunter were very polite and thorough. They got everything done in a timely manner and even suggested a couple small related tasks they could do with the remaining time. Eric was great to work with and scheduling was a breeze. Would highly recommend anytime!

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.

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.

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.
