The Gilbert jobs we do most

HOA refresh

Courtesy-notice rock refresh

Thin coverage, faded color, weeds showing through — the classic HOA letter. We top up or fully re-rock to a clean, uniform ~2″ depth so your yard passes the next drive-by.

Curb appeal

Front yard before you list

Fresh rock is one of the cheapest ways to sharpen listing photos. A typical 2,000 sq ft Gilbert front yard runs approximately 20–25 tons at 2″ depth — we quote it flat, no meter running.

Backyards

Side-gate backyard access

Our compact skid steer fits through a standard Gilbert side gate. No tearing out fence panels, no wheelbarrow marathons — the machine does the hauling.

Color match

Matching your neighborhood palette

Most Gilbert HOA communities run tans, browns, and grays. Bring your HOA spec sheet or just text a photo of a neighbor’s yard — we’ll help you land on the right material before it’s ordered.

How much does landscape rock installation cost in Gilbert?

Spreading starts at a flat $475 for up to 5 tons, all-inclusive — no hourly billing. Larger yards move up in flat tiers, and every quote is firm before we start.

RockSpread flat-rate spreading tiers
Tonnage Flat spreading rate Typical Gilbert job
Up to 5 tons $475 Side yard or small refresh top-up
6–10 tons ~$700 Small front yard re-rock
11–15 tons ~$950 Mid-size front yard
16+ tons Custom flat quote Full 2,000+ sq ft front yard (≈20–25 tons)

Rule of thumb: 1 ton covers approximately 80–100 sq ft at 2″ depth. Have RockSpread arrange delivery plus spreading, or hire us spread-only for material you ordered yourself. Rock yards dump material in your driveway — we’re the crew that actually spreads it.

Can you finish before my HOA deadline?

Almost always, yes — photo quotes usually come back within the hour and most Gilbert jobs are completed within 2–3 days, often in a single day. We don’t promise miracles; we ask for your HOA date up front and schedule backwards from it so there’s honest breathing room. If a date genuinely can’t be met, we’ll tell you before you commit, not after.

Do you match my neighborhood’s rock color?

Yes — Gilbert communities like Power Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, Agritopia, and Morrison Ranch mostly run in the tan, brown, and gray families, and we help you pick material that blends with the street. Bring your HOA spec sheet if you have one, or text a photo of a compliant neighbor’s yard and we’ll match from there. Getting the color right the first time beats re-doing 15 tons.

Gilbert Landscape Rock FAQ

How fast can you turn around an HOA courtesy notice?

Text a photo of your yard and the notice date to (602) 918-5369 — you’ll usually have a firm flat quote within the hour, and most jobs are finished within 2–3 days of booking, often in one day. We schedule backwards from your HOA date.

Can you do the job while I’m at work?

Yes. Most Gilbert jobs run while homeowners are at work — just leave the side gate unlocked (or share the code) and clear the driveway. We’ll text before/after photos when we’re done.

Should I top up my thin rock or do a full re-rock?

If your existing rock is the right color and just thin, a top-up to ~2″ depth is the cheaper fix and often lands in the $475 tier. If the color has faded badly or weeds have taken over, a full re-rock (we can haul off the old material with our 14,000-lb dump trailer) looks better and satisfies the HOA longer.

What rock depth do Gilbert HOAs expect?

A uniform ~2″ depth is the standard that keeps ground fabric covered and color consistent — that’s what we grade every job to. Thin, patchy coverage is what triggers most courtesy notices in the first place.

Will the skid steer damage my pavers or driveway?

No — we run a compact machine, use protection boards over pavers and delicate surfaces where needed, and plan the travel path before the first bucket moves. Protecting your hardscape is part of the flat price, not an add-on.

Do you serve all Gilbert zip codes?

Yes — all of Gilbert (85233, 85234, 85295, 85296, 85297, 85298) plus the rest of the East Valley and Greater Phoenix. Gilbert is home turf, so scheduling here is usually the fastest.
