General Questions
What are your hours?
Our hours change based on season but currently our hours are Monday - Friday 7:00am - 5:00pm, Saturday 8:00am - Noon and we are closed on Sundays.
Do you offer installation?
No. We do not offer installation on any of our items we sell. We are a supplier. If you would like some recommendations on landscape contractors, we can give those to you but please know that we are in NO WAY affiliated with any landscape contractors in the area.
Can I bring a truck or trailer and pick up my own items?
Yes. You can pick up any of our materials onsite as long as we have them in stock. It is always a good idea to call ahead (especially in the spring). We try our best to keep all of our materials in stock but occasionally the manufacturer or supplier may run out.
Can I come and personally pick the materials I want?
For sure! We invite you to stop by and take a look at what you think will be best for you. Sometimes it's better to look at the materials in person before making your selection.
Do you guarantee your products?
Because many of our products are products of nature, we include the following disclaimer on all sales: All stone and rocks are a product of nature and cannot be guaranteed for color, shape, uniformity, or tendency to fracture. The variation of color, shape, and texture is inherent to and an integral part of the characteristics.
Do you offer delivery?
We offer delivery with an additional fee. To learn more about this option please call our office.
Rock
Why would I want to put rock in my yard or garden?
Depending on the rock you choose, the rocks can either be for decorative purposes or they can be in place of mulch for flowerbeds. It all depends on your needs.
How much does a yard of rock weigh?
A yard of rock typically weighs 2000-2600 pounds.
How much can a full size truck usually pick up?
A full size pick up truck can usually haul 1 yard of rock.
A one-man boulder is a relatively small landscape boulder, generally up to 12″. These little guys can weigh anywhere from 20-200+ lbs. A two-man boulder is generally up to roughly 18″. These are typically somewhere in the 150-500+ lb range. A three-man boulder can be up to 36″. So, how much does a 3-foot boulder weigh? These bad boys can weigh up to 800 lbs or more!
Is by the pound the only way you sell boulders?
Yes! No boulder is alike so therefore, we sell each boulder by the pound.
Do you only have large boulders?
No. We have boulders ranging in all sizes. Check out our inventory on our BOULDERS page.
Sod/Grass
When do you sell sod?
We sell sod year-round, weather permitting.
What varieties do you sell of sod?
We carry St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia and Centipede. Please keep in mind that Centipede, Bermuda and Zoysia are special order only by the full pallet and require 3-4 days in advance to order. To read more about what we offer visit our SOD PAGE.
Do you install your sod?
No, we do not offer installation. But we can deliver it to your house.
Do you sell sod by the piece?
St. Augustine by the piece. Other varieties are sold by the full pallet only.
How big is a piece of sod?
A piece of sod is 16" x 24" in size, or 2.66 square feet.
Each pallet of sod covers 450 sq ft.
Do you guarantee your sod?
No. The Grass and Rock Shoppe sells healthy, vibrant sod that we stand behind. Unfortunately, due to the wide realm of care it takes to prepare, install and maintain sod, we cannot be responsible for what happens to sod after it's either delivered or has left our shop. We advise and recommend that you do your due diligence in researching your project.
