Stone for Elk Grove Yards

Elk Grove has many newer neighborhoods with open, flat backyards that are ready for a first landscape or a makeover. Those lots are a blank canvas for patios, pathways and water-wise beds. Our yard in southeast Sacramento is a common stop for Elk Grove customers who want to see the stone in person before they buy. Anna and the staff help with color, design suggestions and how much stone you will need.

Getting stone to Elk Grove

Elk Grove is a short drive south of the yard. Enter 5300 Excelsior Road, Sacramento in your map app, check the map on our Visit the Yard page, or call (916) 363-4239 for directions. We are open Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.

Flagstone ships on pallets, so it needs a forklift and a flatbed truck. Delivery can often be arranged Monday through Saturday. Call with your address for a quote. Think about where a pallet can be set, such as the driveway, and how you will move stone to the backyard. A rented dolly helps.

Stone that suits Elk Grove homes

Many Elk Grove homes are stucco in tan, gray or cream. Stones like Arizona Sandstone Classic Oak, Lompoc Natural and Storm Mountain pair well with those colors. Bring a photo of your house and staff can suggest matches.

Flat valley lots and clay soil mean water can sit after winter rain. Plan patios with a slight slope and good base, and consider soft-set flagstone so water can soak in between stones.

Projects that suit Elk Grove lots

New backyards often start with a flagstone patio off the back door and a walkway to the side gate. Boulder groupings and pebble beds replace front lawns. Pools are common too, and tumbled flagstone makes comfortable coping.

Many Elk Grove backyards get full afternoon sun, so shade and seating walls often go in alongside the patio.
