Is it better to buy landscape rock by the ton or by the square foot?
Most contractors quote rock by the ton so their bid looks artificially cheap on paper. Then halfway through the install, they either hit you up for another $500 because they ran short, or they stretch the rock paper-thin so your dirt shows through in six months.
We charge by the square foot so we can bring an extra 5 tons of rock if that’s what it takes to make the yard look thick and complete.
Have you ever had a contractor hit you with an awkward mid-project change order for "extra material"? Let's hear it in the comments.
