Landscape Rock Installation in Anderson, Indiana
Schmidt Sons Landscaping installs decorative and river rock beds across Anderson and Madison County — bed prepped, fabric laid underneath, rock spread even — plus shrub and border installation.
What the job involves
Rock is the “done with it” option. Mulch is warmer-looking and cheaper up front, but it's a recurring bill — every year or two you're doing it again. Rock costs more the first time and then you mostly stop thinking about it.
Where rock earns its money: strips along the foundation and under downspouts where mulch washes out anyway, narrow side yards nobody wants to maintain, around AC units, meters and mailbox posts, and anywhere you're simply tired of dealing with it.
What's included: old material and weeds removed first, the bed graded and edged, fabric underneath — included, not an upsell, because rock without fabric sinks into the dirt and turns into a weed bed in two years — then rock spread to an even depth and everything blown off clean.
We also install shrubs and borders, sized for the house rather than for the catalog photo. A row of plants that looks right the day it goes in is usually a row that's too big three years later.
Worth knowing
We don't recommend laying rock over existing mulch — it keeps breaking down underneath and the bed settles unevenly.
Questions
Common questions about this service
Is fabric included under the landscape rock?
Yes. Fabric underneath is included in the price. It is the difference between a rock bed that lasts and one that has to be redone in two years.
Rock or mulch — which is better?
Can you put rock over existing mulch?
