Garden beds, patios, walkways, and many more projects can all benefit from an influx of new decorative stone to bring your landscape back to life. With multiple color and stone options to sift through for the ideal mix, there is a decorative stone for everyone around Utica. Read on as we explore the depths of decorative stone, where to get gravel & stone for yourself this fall, and what to expect price-wise to spruce up your landscape.
In the world of fall decorative stone in Utica, there are some great options:

Berkshire Blend is a great way to add warm earthy tones to your landscape. With colors ranging from reds, to pinks, to tans, whites, grays, and beyond, there is a fantastic mix of shades with Berkshire Blend. Alongside the fiery color change of leaves around Utica, the Berkshire Blend really pops in garden beds and walkways.

Red slate provides a powerful red hugh for your landscaping needs. These flatter stones make for excellent garden bed material/ground cover to help trap moisture in without compromising drainage. The vibrant reds alongside some tan and pink create a mix that truly complements the dramatic leaf colors present in the fall.

For totally different contrast, the shiny white of white marble can be an excellent option. Great for garden beds, walkways, and patios, white marble introduces a clean, modern look to any landscape project. With fiery reds, oranges, and yellows on the surrounding trees during the fall, white marble can really stand out with excellent contrast.

If you’re looking to cover an area of about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, one can expect to need around 17 cubic feet of stone, 1,800 pounds of stone, which is about 0.8 metric tons.
