Why Choose Gravel for Your Landscape?

Durable & Weather-Resistant

Gravel holds up to Austin’s extreme sun, rainfall, and temperature swings without fading or breaking down.

Low Maintenance

No mowing, fertilizing, or replanting needed—gravel beds are one of the lowest upkeep landscaping options available.

Stylish & Versatile

Organic mulch helps plants thrive by retaining moisture, regulating temperature, and adding nutrients back into the soil.

Common Gravel Bed Applications

    Frame your plants with a clean gravel base that reduces weeds and retains soil moisture.

     Functional and attractive paths that resist mud and wear.

Finally getting around to writing a review for this awesome company! We loved working with Andy and Stephanie. They’re so nice, professional and were great with communication. They installed our after-pool landscaping and used a design my friend made. Stephanie helped me tweak the design to be more efficient and help me stay under my budget. We were also able to salvage some of my previous plants instead of buying new ones in this first phase. And we get compliments on our landscaping all the time! Can’t wait to have them back out again for more updates in the future!

I have enjoyed working with Andy, Martin and crew. They did an excellent job with our backyard hardscaping, bringing our vision and design to life. He communicates consistently and is so easy to work with! His after-project customer service is great, and I’ve since used Andy and Stephanie again to redo portions of our landscaping. Stephanie is wonderful to work with - love her knowledge of what plants work well and we love the design she helped develop with our input.

Rockview Landscapes did an amazing job on our yard! Andy, the owner, took great care in helping us determine what made sense for our yard, and gave us different options to fit our budget. The crew working at our house was meticulous and efficient, even in 100 degree weather. I highly recommend them!
