Premium Rock
PREMIUM ROCK IN MARYVILLE, TN
One scoop of Pea Gravel covers approximately 100 square feet, while the same scoop of 6x14 River Rock covers approximately 50, because bigger stones need a deeper layer to hide the soil. Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material stocks premium rock in Maryville, TN for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek channels: Pea Gravel, Egg Rock, 2x5 River Rock, 6x14 River Rock, White Marble, and Brown Stone. Every piece is 100% natural, and our hometown team has loaded it since 1999.
ROCK STAYS PUT LONG AFTER MULCH IS GONE.
Organic mulch rots into the soil and needs replenishing, but stone does not decay at all, so a rock bed keeps its color and depth season after season. Rain rinses it instead of wearing it down, and a leaf blower clears it without scattering the cover. The trade-off is simple: rock feeds nothing, so it belongs where permanence matters more than plant food.
Six rocks fill our bins, from pea-size pebbles to river stone bigger than a grapefruit, and you can see and handle each one in person before a single scoop is loaded.
- Six rocks to compare in person
- Coverage figures for every scoop
- Stone for creek beds and drainage
- Delivery or yard pickup
PREMIUM ROCK
SIX ROCKS, SIX DIFFERENT FINISHES.
Pea Gravel rolls gently underfoot on paths and patios. Egg Rock, approximately 2 to 3 inches, rims beds and fills splash zones under downspouts. 2x5 River Rock brings water-worn curves to borders and creek channels, and 6x14 River Rock adds heft along their banks. White Marble, crushed to approximately 1-inch or 4-inch pieces, brightens beds and driveways. Brown Stone, approximately 1/2 to 1.25 inch, lends an earthy tone that blends with wooded lots.
DRY CREEK BEDS EARN THEIR KEEP HERE.
Every inch of rain on an approximately 1,000-square-foot roof sends approximately 600 gallons toward the ground, according to the University of Arizona, and Maryville roofs catch dozens of inches of it every year. That water leaves gutters in a rush and carves channels across clay yards. A dry creek bed lined with 2x5 River Rock and banked with 6x14 River Rock gives runoff a route, and between storms it reads as a streambed.
RIVER ROCK HAS FILLED OUR BINS SINCE 1999.
For 25+ years, homeowners have walked our rock bins holding a photo on their phone, hoping to match a creek they saw in the Smokies or a border at a neighbor's house. Along the way we learned which river rock looks at home beside red clay, which sizes hold on a slope, and how many scoops a winding channel really takes. Want help matching the rock in your photo?
WHY CHOOSE US FOR PREMIUM ROCK.
Coverage You Can Plan Around
Each rock carries its own per-scoop coverage figure, so turning square footage into an order takes minutes instead of guesswork. Larger stones cover less ground per scoop, and knowing that before delivery day keeps a creek bed from ending halfway to the ditch.
Stone You Can See First
Photos rarely show how a rock looks when wet, in shade, or next to brick. Walk the bins, pick up a handful, and compare colors side by side, so the stone that arrives matches the one you had in mind.
Weight Our Loader Handles
Approximately one ton rides in every scoop of rock, far more than anyone wants to shovel by hand. Our Bobcat S64 lifts it in one pass, and each delivery stays within the weight limits our single-axle trucks are built to carry.
Drops Aimed Where You Work
Wheelbarrow trips add up fast with stone this heavy. Drivers look for the drop point closest to your beds that the truck can reach safely, fitting through narrow gates and short driveways where a tandem would have to stop at the street.
Two Sizes, One Truck
Creek beds and borders often need more than one rock. Two sizes can share a delivery, provided the two are kept apart on the truck and their total weight falls within limits, which saves a second trip and a second drop.
Help Choosing Color And Size
Nobody should have to guess between Egg Rock and 2x5 River Rock from a product list. Our staff asks about the setting, the slope, and the plants nearby, then points you to a size and color that suits the space.
WHAT WE SUPPLY
OUR PREMIUM ROCK RANGE
These six rocks cover most decorative and drainage jobs around a home or business. Each sells by the scoop, and each comes with a coverage figure, so the quantity question has a clear answer before anything leaves the yard.
PATHWAYS
Pea Gravel
Rounded stones of approximately 1/2 to 1 inch roll comfortably underfoot, which is why pea gravel shows up in paths, patios, and seating corners. A scoop covers approximately 100 square feet, and a sturdy edging keeps the pebbles from wandering into the lawn.
BORDERS
Egg Rock
Smooth and oval, Egg Rock runs approximately 2 to 3 inches and covers approximately 80 square feet per scoop. It rims flower beds, fills the splash area beneath downspouts, and frames stepping stones without shifting every time a storm rolls through.
CREEK BEDS
2x5 River Rock
Tumbled smooth by water, this approximately 2 to 5 inch stone covers approximately 70 square feet per scoop. Creek channels, foundation borders, and beds meant to look washed by a stream all lean on it, and it holds up to runoff.
ACCENTS
6x14 River Rock
At approximately 6 to 14 inches, these cobbles cover approximately 50 square feet per scoop and carry real visual weight. They anchor the banks of a creek bed, frame a pond edge, and stay in position where a downpour would move lighter stone.
MARBLE
White Marble
Crushed marble comes in approximately 1-inch or 4-inch pieces, suited to landscape beds and driveways. The bright surface reflects light and sharpens contrast with dark foliage, though marble is alkaline, so skip it around azaleas and other acid-loving plants.
EARTH TONE
Brown Stone
Chips of approximately 1/2 to 1.25 inch cover approximately 100 square feet per scoop. Their warm color sits comfortably beside bark mulch, brick, and wooded lots, making it a quiet choice for garden paths, shrub beds, and borders.
THE WORD ON OUR WORK
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY.
People who review us often describe standing at the bins while our staff talked them through rock colors and sizes. Others mention pulling in, getting loaded with a couple of scoops, and leaving quickly, or a driver who found the perfect spot to unload the order.
Common Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Size, heat, and lifespan drive most rock questions. These answers come straight from conversations at our bins, trimmed down so you can compare options before you visit.
Is pea gravel or river rock better?
It depends on the job. Pea gravel, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch, is comfortable underfoot for paths and patios. River rock is larger and heavier, so it stays put in beds, borders, and drainage channels where water flows.
What size river rock is best for a dry creek bed?
A mix of sizes looks most natural: approximately 1 to 3 inch stone along the channel floor, approximately 3 to 5 inch rock on the sides, and a few cobbles or boulders for structure. Blending sizes also slows the water.
What is egg rock used for?
Egg rock is used for bed borders, downspout splash areas, and creek accents. Our Egg Rock at Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material in Maryville, TN runs approximately 2 to 3 inches and covers approximately 80 square feet per scoop.
Is white marble chip good for landscaping?
In the right beds, yes. White marble chips brighten a landscape and never decay, but they reflect heat and slowly raise soil pH as they weather, so keep it away from azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries, and other acid-loving plants.
Does river rock get hot in the sun?
Often, yes. Stone absorbs sunlight through the day and releases that warmth into the evening, so rock beds in full sun run hotter than mulched ones. Choose heat-tolerant plants there, and mulch around tender roots that prefer cooler soil.
How long does landscape rock last?
Landscape rock lasts indefinitely, because stone does not decompose the way wood mulch does. Over time, soil and leaf litter settle between stones and some rock sinks, so an occasional cleaning or light top-up keeps beds looking crisp.
Can you put rock right up against the house foundation?
Yes, as long as the ground beneath slopes away from the house. Building codes call for a drop of approximately 6 inches within the first approximately 10 feet, and rock should never cover siding or block weep holes.
How much area does a scoop of river rock cover?
That depends on the size. At Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material in Maryville, TN, a scoop of 2x5 River Rock covers approximately 70 square feet, while a scoop of 6x14 River Rock covers approximately 50 square feet.
HOW WE WORK
FROM ROCK SAMPLE TO DROP-OFF, HERE IS HOW.
STEP 01
See The Samples In Person
Visit our bins or send us photos of the spot you are working on. Seeing rock wet from rain, in bright sun, and in shade narrows six choices to one or two before you commit to a full scoop.
STEP 02
Match Square Footage To Coverage
Measure the bed or channel, and multiply length by width to get square footage. Divide by the coverage figure for your chosen rock, and you have a scoop count, or let our staff run those numbers for you.
STEP 03
Request A Distance-Based Quote
Delivery is quoted on the distance between our yard and your drop spot, so include your address. The quote spells out the rock, the scoops, and any second size riding along, with no guessing left for delivery day.
STEP 04
Settle On A Delivery Day
Rock orders generally go out within a week, including Saturday runs for weekend projects. If rain soaks the ground enough that a loaded truck could rut your yard, expect a call from us to move the date.
STEP 05
Ready A Firm Drop Spot
Because rock arrives heavy, the pile needs solid footing. Choose a driveway pad or firm, level ground near the work, clear away cars and bins, and mark the spot so the driver knows the target.
STEP 06
Receive The Drop Or Load Up Yourself
On delivery day, the truck backs in, raises its bed, and leaves the rock on your mark. Prefer to collect it? Bring a truck or trailer rated for the weight, and our loader fills the bed in a couple of passes.
