How to Order Rock

Step 1 - Which rock should I order?

The decision as to which rock to order depends on three things - price, aesthetics and use. We have a selection of rock at Lowcountry Mulch suitable for driveways or paths, dry river beds, leveling pavers, etc.

Step 2 - When can I have rock delivered?

We can deliver rock Monday - Saturday during business hours. Saturdays are more popular, so if that is the day you want, be sure to call earlier. "Plan ahead" is the best advice.

We prefer not to deliver soil when it is raining. If it is raining at your scheduled delivery time, we will call to recommend rescheduling your order.

Step 3 - How much rock do I need?

Applications for rock are usually measured by volume, but rock is sold by weight. For example in a driveway application using Slag 57's, one ton covers approximately 125 square feet at 2 inches deep. Different rock have different coverage depending on the size and density of the rock.

Step 4 -Where can rock be delivered?

Before you call with your order for rock, give some consideration to where you would like us to dump it on your property. Our trucks can hold 8-10 tons of rock. We cannot dump your rock in any location that requires the wheels of the truck to leave a hard surface - paving, concrete, asphalt or packed gravel. Usually we deliver to some location on the home-owner's drive. Marking the location by spreading a tarp on the drive before the time of delivery is especially helpful. Be sure to pay attention to overhead wires or tree limbs. Our truck needs at least 18 feet of overhead clearance in order for the bed to tilt to dump the rock. We are not able to spread the rock in a drive by "tailgating" the load. We can try, but we cannot insure that the homeowner will not have to smooth the rock with a rake.

Step 5 - How do I place my order?

Call Lowcountry Mulch at 971-7010. Have your measurements ready, the type of rock that you want, the delivery location, and the form of payment. We accept credit cards - Visa and MasterCard - or you can pay with a check or cash at the time of the delivery. There is a delivery charge and a minimum tonnage based on location. The delivery charge is in addition to the price of the rock. If you have any additional questions about delivery or about our products, we would be happy to answer them at the time of your call. Of course you can also place your order by coming into our stores.
