Instead of trying to dig the shovel into the middle of the pile, start at the edge of the pile with your shovel flat against the driveway so there aren’t any rocks underneath your shovel, just the flat surface of the driveway. Much less friction that way and allows you to get a shovel full each time :)
Very expensive up front, but in the long run it saves a lot of money on mulching every year. Plus saves time from all the work you never have to do! Looks really good against your brick, orangeish red is hard to match up with. Looks like your helper had a lot of fun helping and those are great memories to make
I LOVE your genuine appreciation for the Rocks, themselves! A lot of videos miss sharing this aspect of the Landscaping process-or ANY interaction, for that matter-with Rocks. … you have that passion that unites Rock Lovers everywhere; a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of ROCKS. Believe me, I get it. #iloverocks 🍃💛🍃
I'm doing 3.5 tons myself but smaller river rock. Easier to handle. All I know is I don't have any problem falling asleep after doing many rounds with that rock.
Looks great and a perfect choice for the beds against the house. The plastic landscape fabric with river rock on top is great to divert water away from the house's foundation with very little rain water soaking down into the soil around the house.
I’ve been there right with ya 😌. Amazing to look at the completed project knowing that you physically touched almost every single rock ! Looks really nice !
In this area they are called river rocks but the delivery guy for one load said they are mined in any gravel pit and just size sorted by machines...they are found anywhere in the ground....we add more color to the top each year by bringing home white ones or special colored ones from trips to the ocean....looks beautiful and is timeless.
I ordered some 3-4" cobble rocks (3 yards) in September of 2020, not long after this video was made. Unfortunately, the rocks I received included a *large* amount of clay mixed in. Not the kind of stuff you can just easily rinse out. I spent weeks trying to wash the rocks, only managing to fully wash 1 yard of it. Please learn from my lesson and ensure you're getting relatively clean cobble. Large piles of clay mixed in will ruin a project like this.
Hi new subscriber 👋 I did this all along my fence line and front yard" after giving the design area's a week of settling down, where I wanted the rock's to be, I went back in with several can's of clear coat" over the rock's to give them that wet look, turned out really nice!👍🥰
Surprised he didn’t mention removing 3-6inch of soil prior to, instead of adding straight on top. Thought that was common practice, would give property more water retainage/storage during big rain event
I wish when y'all do these type of video's you would share the cost . I know times changes , prices changes but it would be interesting to see the cost of rock versus mulch.
Just curious about if the dumping on the bare cement like that caused any kind of issues at all as far as chipping or colored mineral transference etc? Job looks great tho!
I love it!!! How would grass n weeds be cleared once they start growing through the rocks? Not knowing the answer is the only reason I hesitate to do something like this. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing
I want to do this at our home in southeast Georgia. I'm being told that putting landscaping rocks makes the plant bed too 🔥 hot it could burn up the plants. Is that true?
Curious how your plants are holding up with plastic tarp instead of landscaping fabric? Any weeds? Nice project, I can appreciate the effort of moving that much rock.
Shoveling this type of rock is a nightmare...There really is no two ways around it. I've tried all of the tricks and none of them really help that much.
Thanks for video, just curious any damage dropping it on your driveway? I have a concrete drive as well. How many ton did you use for this video project?
Awesome, this are the exact kind of rocks I want, now I know what to ask for, I also know it’s going to be absolutely dreadful cos a shovel won’t work... So is that lawn fabric or something else and how much rock did you buy cos I need to this around the perimeter of my place, thx, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Those evergreens are way too close to the house. Remember when placing your plants that they are going to grow. If it looks right when they are small they are in the wrong place,

Small tips... hose down the solid rocks first, less transfer of dirt in bed for weeds to grow, also use a 5 gallon bucket and push rocks into bucket.
I've tried that and it works well.
Very good tips

From the center of the Earth to your beautiful garden! Saludos desde Mexico!
Absolutely beautiful! I love rocks! All my beds are edged in rocks. The rainbow rock is gorgeous! Thank you!
It's a good looking color!
It's nice to see I am not alone in my love of rocks in a yard.
River rocks are my favorite too, love all the different colors.

Your bed looks great! I did the same thing with river rocks many years ago. Still looks beautiful.
My man! Just like me: Us, the wheelbarrows and the shovels! 👏👍
Looks great!!
Nice work!
3 yrs later and I bet you still look doen at rocks, admiring the beauty God places in something so unique yet overlooked by many.❤
Amen to that!
Rocks are free on the beach I always loved rocks the big ones are so awesome!

I was going to say the same thing. Every single rock he touched! I did this to my landscaping 15yrs ago. It was hard work but It still looks good.
Looks great!
Looks really nice. Had to be a killer for the back!😮
A little bit but not terrible. Thanks for the compliment. It was a fun project!

Go for it Edila!
I love how Bailey is helping you! I hear her in the background! I love your landscaping! Uncle Steve and I are going to use river rock!

thank the lord you weren't any annoying Nebraska Huskers gear, thank you, sincerely, from Colorado
Im a Kansas Jayhawk fan!!!!!
Wow I’m so jealous of that stone yard near you! The stone yards around here don’t have nearly the selection of gravels
It's nice to have a good selection thanks to the Platte river.
Same here
Lots of work but well worth it, looks so good.
Love it!!

Diamond pro concrete sealer. Super shine that’ll last some time. Expensive yes, no more than type of stone being used.

Always double check for arrowheads. I found a point that is thousands of years old.
Good job
Nice job bro. 👍! Those rocks are huge, lol 😂! Heck of a workout.
Thanks for watching the vid. It was fun for sure. I Like making things look good.
That's some big ass river rock
Great video....u gave me a great suggestion for a rock bed.

$150 a ton. I got 3 tons.
@@RyanMOutdoors thank you much
@@kristinajamestucker4346 you bet. Thanks for watching the video. It was fun to put together.
I made some decking and rock areas in my back yard........ 70 wheelbarrow loads later....lol

No it didn't cause any issues. Thanks fir watching and the compliment.
Nice 👍 thank you 😊
I want to make one in my grandma’s house 🏡 with cactus 🌵 inside old tires 🛞 from my cars! It’s going to be awesome 👏 🙌👍♥️🇵🇷🌹🙏🏻
That sounds great!
lay a piece of strong tarp on the floor then with your feet kick them onto the tarp and then you can drag the tarp across over the the bed in batches
Good idea at rock River
Very nice. Next time use a small bucket to fill up then stones. Its much faster... no weeds out so far?
Good tip.
Hi Ryan, how do you order the rock, by the sq yard or by the ton? 👍🏻🇺🇸
Cost of thee rocks and how much you brought?
I love the look but rocks are such a pain in the ass to move around! I'm doing it right now. It sucks. I envy those who can afford to hire landscapers
Cool video. Have you had any issues with weeds since then?
Nice job sir. I’m trying to do the same thing at home. What type of tarp or landscape fabric did you use to cover the soil? Thanks
There’s a time to gather and a time to scatter
River Rock would have been better to work with. That's what I used here in Kissimmee Florida. Good luck 👍
Where did you order your rocks from? I'm in your area?
I love it!!! How would grass n weeds be cleared once they start growing through the rocks? Not knowing the answer is the only reason I hesitate to do something like this. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing
Hopefully the underlay will keep the weeds out. If not I'll spray them. Thanks for the compliment and watching. It was fun to do!
Actually it is guaranteed that weeds will come through. And he is right, He will spray for weeds. That’s the part I don’t like.
I want to do this at our home in southeast Georgia. I'm being told that putting landscaping rocks makes the plant bed too 🔥 hot it could burn up the plants. Is that true?
That is true. Be sure to water them more. It's worth it though from an anesthetic standpoint.
Did I miss it. Did you mention HOW much Rocks were dumped for your three areas. How many yards of rock did you actually use (any left over =to much?)
I had 1 ton delivered. Can't remember the different deminsions of each garden bed. I had a handful of 5 gallon buckets left over.
That's closer to 2 than 1.
How many yards or tons are there?
Good Video Ryan M! But I'm the Real Ryan M buddy! Lol
Lol! "Will the real RYAN M please stand up please stand up." Thanks for watching Ryan M!
What was the cost of the rocks? Beautiful job 👏
Thanks! About $800
@@RyanMOutdoors ok....thanks
@@RyanMOutdoors it's free near my place 😮😮😮😮😮
How many tons of rock did you get for this project? Nice work!
In another comment he said 3 tons at $150/ ton.

Snow shovel works best for large stone
Good idea!
Good work how does it look now?
Looks pretty good!
Nice vid. What kind of tarp did you use. I have rock beds and stupidly didnt put sny tarp, sand, and pea gravel down and now need to redo
I used roofing tarp that is put down under shingles. Its thick and keeps the weeds out.
@@RyanMOutdoors That's actually really smart. Thanks for the tip
How many yards did you buy?? Thanks. Looks good Bro!!🙂👍👊
Sir, your bed looks great 👍
How many ton of rock you ordered?
I want to do this like you
Thank you!
6 ton.

@@RyanMOutdoors
You are rich guy 😂😂😂
Curious how your plants are holding up with plastic tarp instead of landscaping fabric? Any weeds? Nice project, I can appreciate the effort of moving that much rock.
Doing good. I do have to pull some weeds here and there. Leaves like to get stuck in the rock. I just shuffle them around while leaf blowing
It wont damage the concrete dumping those tons of rocks like that?
Nope. As long as it is scattered a little.
@@RyanMOutdoors Okay I thought with the impact of it falling off the truck, I could just see it cracking some driveways. I guess it's all good.
Concrete is very durable only will crack because weight and freeze thaw
Any idea how many cubic yards this was? Or tons?
Shoveling this type of rock is a nightmare...There really is no two ways around it. I've tried all of the tricks and none of them really help that much.
Yeah it is. I’ve had minor success using a big ensilage fork. Heavy as shit but it works
How many yards of rock was delivered?
Very strenuous, but worth it!
Very true Faye. Thanks for watching.
Wow
Cost of rocks and delivery?
Thanks for video, just curious any damage dropping it on your driveway? I have a concrete drive as well. How many ton did you use for this video project?
No damage. 6 ton of rock. Thanks for watching.
What's the cost? It's breaking back.
How man cubic yards was this?
Does Lowe’s sell in small bags
I'm considering rock instead of mulch but hearing it's not a good idea as weeds still grow through it.
Not as long as you have a strong underwater of plastic.
Check it out: ruclips.net/video/jytTv14c08A/видео.html
Plastic and 2 layers of fabric. If weeds come through, you just weed wack and leaf blow out the rocks.
What happens when weeds start growing threw the landscape fabric, man good luck trying to remove those heavy rocks. Looks nice though
Just keep pulling the weeds. It was a lot if hard work but worth it. Thanks for watching. I like showing everything outdoors on the channel.
Did you used weed barriers?
How many tons is that.. I just ordered 10 tons..
6 ton
Bold move having them dump that on your concrete driveway.
It didn't harm it one bit.
Awesome, this are the exact kind of rocks I want, now I know what to ask for, I also know it’s going to be absolutely dreadful cos a shovel won’t work...
So is that lawn fabric or something else and how much rock did you buy cos I need to this around the perimeter of my place, thx, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
It's industrial plastic sheet from Menards. Scoop the shovel into the bottom of the rock and let the rocks fall into shovel.
I Bought six tons.
Neighborhood kids make great shovelers lol
Where do people find these rocks for a reasonable cost . They are so expensive everywhere I look .
They are pricey. The bigger and colorful the more $$.
How much rock did you get at what cost?
How many yards was that?
How many tons did you get
Yes I like my friend
How much area and how much rock??
What did it cost per ton?
$120 per ton
Can I ask what state you got the company is in
Nebraska
how many yards was it?
I'm not sure.
How many tons did you order?
6 ton
A pitch fork is good to use on rocks of that size. You'll be happier with the results.
That s a good tip!
Even bark mulch is easier to move with a pitch fork.
How many square feet is that
Not sure. I ordered 6 ton of rock.
Piedras, más calor
How much was delivered?
Nevermind, found it in comments, nice work!
What type of evergreens are those? Great job!!! I’m a landscaper myself.
Miniature blue spruce
Those evergreens are way too close to the house. Remember when placing your plants that they are going to grow. If it looks right when they are small they are in the wrong place,
@@jmeyer4266 Don’t worry. Nothing will grow in that bed for a while. Except maybe some weeds.
Looks like Dwarf Alberta spruce.
