Stone Borders FAQs
-
Big Tex stocks river rock, cobblestone, decorative pebble, and landscape edging products commonly used for defining garden beds, lawn edges, and planting area borders. River rock and cobble create a natural, low-maintenance border that holds its place without requiring regular replacement. Larger flat stones and stepping stones can be used for more formal edge treatments. Landscape edging and supplies are also in stock for installations where a product edge is needed to keep materials contained.
-
Border quantities depend on the width and depth of the material being used and the total linear footage of the border. Decorative gravel and river rock borders are typically estimated by the ton based on the coverage area and desired depth. A standard 3–4 inch deep river rock border typically covers 80–100 square feet per ton, though this varies by stone size. The Big Tex materials calculator gives a starting estimate, and the yard team can help confirm before you load.
-
Mexican beach pebble is a popular choice for garden borders and bed fill because of its smooth, rounded surface, consistent dark coloring, and clean appearance that holds up well without regular refreshing. Big Tex stocks beach pebble in multiple sizes. It works equally well as a border material, a dry river bed fill, or a low-maintenance groundcover between plantings. Calling ahead to confirm size and quantity availability is recommended before making a trip.
