Colors That Do Not Fade in Full Sun
Trusted Landscape Rock Supplier Backed by Experience, Selection, and Local Knowledge
Central Home Supply is a family-owned landscape rock supplier serving homeowners and contractors across Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Monterey Counties. We have been in the materials business for 50+ years, and we carry river rocks, crushed stone, decomposed granite, lava rock, flagstone, Mexican beach pebbles, stepping stones, boulders, pavers, sand, and gravel in a wide range of colors and sizes. Rock is sold by the ton, and depth is what drives tonnage. Ordering short means a second trip, while ordering long means paying for material sitting in your driveway.
This page covers what we carry, which rock suits which job, and how to work out what your area actually takes. We supply the materials and refer you to licensed local contractors for the installation.
Landscape Rock and Decorative Rocks We Stock
The right rock depends on whether it is moving water, holding soil, or being walked on. Here is what we carry.
If We Do Not Have It, We Can Get It
We stock over 2,500 products, and the list keeps growing. When a yard calls for a color, size, or stone nobody carries locally, we search our supplier databases for the unique, the hard-to-find, and the unusual, and bring it in. Show us the photo.
Landscape Rock Ideas for Your Yard and Garden
Match the material to what the area actually has to do.
Ground Cover and Xeriscaping — Replacing turf with rock conserves water and cuts maintenance to near zero. Ground cover sizes run 1/8 inch to 3 inches depending on the look you want.
Dry Creek Beds — River rock in mixed sizes moves winter runoff and reads as a garden feature the rest of the year.
Pathways and Patios — Use decomposed granite for a compacted natural surface, or flagstone and stepping stones where you want stone underfoot.
Drainage and Erosion Control — Rock lets rainwater percolate into the ground instead of sheeting off. Angular drain rock and stacked boulders hold soil on a slope.
Beds, Borders, and Accents — Boulders anchor a planting bed, and decorative rocks add texture and color that tie a landscape together.
Bring the length, width, and depth of the area, and we will work out what it takes before you start comparing prices.
Why Rock Outlasts Everything Else in a Scotts Valley Yard
Scotts Valley has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers, and organic mulch spends both seasons breaking down.
Rock does not.
It Holds Moisture Where Plants Need It
Rock keeps roots cool and slows evaporation around drought-tolerant plantings.
It Suppresses Weeds and Deters Pests
Installed over quality landscape fabric, rock keeps weeds down, and unlike bark, it gives termites and ants nothing to live in.
It Does Not Fade
Local stone colors hold through full sun, which is what keeps a landscape looking finished in year three rather than tired.
Why Homeowners and Contractors Choose Central Home Supply
River Rock, Gravel, Flagstone, and Boulders
One yard for the whole project, so the walkways, the creek bed, and the boulders come from a single visit. See colors and sizes in daylight before you commit to a ton of anything. If we do not have it, we will source it.
Pick Up by the Ton or Have It Delivered
Load a truck yourself or book delivery, and tell us about driveway access and slope so the pile lands where the work is happening. We run flatbeds, forklifts, and dump trucks, so the right-sized vehicle comes to your site.
Colors That Do Not Fade in Full Sun
Rock that fades makes a finished landscape look tired in two summers. We run your square footage, convert it to tons, and tell you plainly which colors hold up in this climate and which do not.
How to Plan Your Landscape Rock Project, Step by Step
STEP 1
Measure Your Area
Bring the length, width, and desired rock depth of the area to 180 El Pueblo Road. Two to three inches covers most ground, and depth is what actually drives tonnage.
STEP 2
Choose Your Rock and Confirm Quantities
We walk you through rocks, stones, colors, and sizes against your budget and your site, then calculate the tonnage plus fabric and base material. One cubic yard covers roughly 160 square feet at two inches deep. Take a sample home before ordering.
STEP 3
Pick Up or Schedule Delivery
Load at the yard, or book delivery staged where the work is happening rather than at the end of the driveway. Tell us about access and slope so the schedule holds.
STEP 4
Get a Contractor Referral
Spreading it yourself, or do you need someone? We point you toward licensed local contractors who do this work regularly, and we stay available for additional material as the project moves.
