“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

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!
Great communication. Workers were outstanding. They completed the job with expert workmanship. They were fast completing the job and also completed other tasks. Would definitely have them do more work for me.
Elijah and Jasir are incredible workers. They worked very hard in hot and humid weather and did a great job. They are polite, conscientious, thorough, and professional. I have hired His Workmanship for several projects in the past and they consistently do great work. I highly recommend this service.
As a senior I found myself getting behind on some yard chores so I reached out for help from His Workmanship. The weeding prior to spreading 35 bags of mulch was successful and looks great. The crew was polite, hard working and respectful of our property.
The two young men sent to work on our yard were gracious, friendly, and polite. They completed a very difficult project without taking a break. We have used this company twice and have been very happy both times. I highly recommend them.
My wife and I hired this company to pull weeds and lay mulch in our many flower beds at our home. The weeds had gotten way out of hand. Adam and Logan worked over 6 hours in over 90F hot sun and did a terrific job! Both of them are great young men and worked very hard. Their work was excellent, 5 stars! The communication was prompt, accurate, and professional. The price is very fair for the value created. Would highly them to anyone looking for landscaping!
Great work done by two very thoughtful and ambitious young men.
His Workmanship did a wonderful job with our flower beds! I will not hesitate to call if I need their services again!
Eric was very responsive to my initial inquiry and was able to schedule a fairly large weed removal project in just a few days time. The crew that provided the service were on time, very respectful, and did a great job. Highly recommend!
I've never hired anyone to help me in my garden project of 50 years. My property is woodsy and a new weed has come in to take over. I felt overwhelmed. I found His Workmanship online and liked what I saw. I hired them for 3 hours to try them out. Bottom line, much more needs to be done. They gave me ideas, however, to control this invasion. More grass! So insightful. They gave me a new peace of mind about my garden. It was almost like a therapy session for me, too! As a retired high school teacher of many years, I worked beside them and learned so much about these fine young men from Crown College. It was a rewarding experience all around. I would highly recommend this company. ✌🏽❤️🙏🏼
Very kind and hardworking guys who helped us move into our new home. Highly recommend!!
My workers came on time, were very courteous and explained everything they were doing, I have more work to be done, and I will be contacting this service,
The service was fantastic. We hired them for weeding and it was a lot of work; they did the work that most other yard services won't do. They weeded garden beds, rock walls, landscaped areas and did a fantastic job. They were knowledgable about garden work, and I just showed them what to do and they knew exactly how to go about it. Will definitely use them again, and highly recommend them.
Wow! After trying to find a landscaper on Google, I found His Workmanship. I contacted them, and everything was easy after that. Very responsive and candid about the costs, so I knew what to expect. They arrived and kept me posted when they were on the way. It was such a positive experience. The quality was good! The guys were so friendly and polite. Paying options made it easy! I like the idea that the funds are being used for a positive cause.
I emailed His Workmanship over Memorial Day weekend and by the first week of June my pesky, overgrown hydrangeas were gone, dug up and hauled away by a hardworking, prompt and courteous team. Thank you!
Both young men did an excellent job. This is my third experience with His Workmanship and each experience has been outstanding. 2024 I again hired His Workmanship, and as always I am very pleased with the outcome.

2025 -4th season
Eric has a great system for providing assistance for those who are looking for extra help. The young people are college age and don't have a lot of experience, i.e. today they installed landscape lighting, but are eager to learn and are hard workers. I showed them what to do and they did it effectively and efficiently...the lights all worked. They, as in the past, we're right on time and went to work straight away! Looking forward to this assistance again next summer!!
The crew made quick work of cleaning up my over-grown yard. From the first step to completion, the His Workmanship team was responsive, professional, and efficient. I will definitely use them again and happily recommend them.
Both Ella and Austin are very hard workers and got the mulching for our yard done. Thank you!
This was our second time using His Workmanship. We were very satisfied each time. One of the workers was 30 minutes late and he stayed over to make up the time.
The crew did a great job. They worked hard and were very professional and kind. I would absolutely hire them 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.

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.
