Landscaping Products & Excavating Services
Decorative Rock
Our wide range of colors and sizes of decorative rock will help to accentuate any home or commercial landscaping project. And our decorative rock delivery services will save you valuable time.
Decomposed Granite
Decomposed granite and crushed granite are compacted to create natural and beautiful surfaces such as walking trails and for other landscaping applications. It comes in a variety of colors, from tan, beige, and gold, to grey, brown, blue, green, and white. Decomposed granite is harder than marble which allows it to be firmly compacted for patios, driveways, pathways, and landscapes.
Decorative Gravel
If conservation of water is a concern with your landscaping needs, decorative rock or gravel is an excellent ground cover alternative to grass or other landscaping plants. Besides saving water, decorative gravel is also attractive as it comes in various shades. From dark red, medium red, and warm pink to cool blue, deep black, and white. In many residential landscaping applications, 3/8 inch screened rock is best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — that’s one of the advantages of working with us. Beyond delivering landscaping rock, we offer excavation, grading, and site prep services. So if your yard needs to be leveled, old grass removed, or a base layer compacted before the rock goes down, we can handle that too. One call, one company, one less thing to coordinate.
For most residential landscaping beds in Surprise, we recommend laying fabric underneath your rock. It blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds below the surface and helps keep your rock looking clean longer. For compacted surfaces like decomposed granite driveways or pathways, fabric is often skipped in favor of proper compaction. We’ll advise you on the best approach for each area of your project.
Yes, and it’s one of the things we do best. We carry a wide range of desert-tone colors — from Sedona Red and Desert Sunset to Santa Fe Beige and Sierra Verde — that work well with the stucco and stone finishes common in Surprise neighborhoods.
