Natural Stone: Dry Stack Walls, Flagstone Pathways and River Rock
No precast masonry product quite compares with the final look you get from natural stone for your low retaining wall, flagstone pathway or river rock planting areas. Lucas Landscaping specializes in obtaining beautiful natural stone for these purposes and more.We have constructed several dry stack field stone walls over the last two years and they really look awesome.

The flagstone pathways that we build are great when used to access different areas of a landscape design and we use stones large enough to prevent movement/wobble and washout. In a recent project we used the natural flagstone to build a ground-level pathway between two separate paver patio areas. The flagstone added a nice visual variety and helped blend in the paver hardscape with the natural environment.

And finally, we have the round multi-color river stone. We have a gravel form with smaller pieces (3/4-1) and then we have the larger diameter stone (2-4 fist size) that we prefer to use in certain planting beds (as a substitute for mulch). Give us a call and we will work with you to determine the best way to enhance your landscape with natural stone. Pricing is listed below.

The Process: Working with Lucas Landscaping
After installing a project, Lucas Landscaping wants to be certain that the final product matches the design intent and cost established at the beginning of our project timeline. Every project starts out with an estimate appointment to try and determine a starting design budget and intentions that will drive the landscape project until completion. At this initial meeting it is critical to discuss project budget, completion timing, as well as material likes and dislikes. After a basic discussion covering these topics our Landscape Architect can make intelligent design decisions on the drawing table that pull all of this information together in a beautiful custom master plan.

In some cases a homeowner or client wont know the first thing about where to start. In this situation we can take a rough budget figure and turn out a couple different options that may or may not be installed in the end. In no way do we want our clients to feel that they are imposing or asking too much at this phase of the process. Lucas Landscaping is willing to sit down and sketch out as many ideas as it takes to make you comfortable with the proposed plan. After the design is finalized and approved by the client, we will discuss the construction timeline. Armed with a projected start date and completion date our client can better plan personal events and scheduling around the soon to be construction zone.

During construction we will work daily to ensure that the project is completed on time and on budget. Daniel Lucas will be on the job site throughout the workday to supervise and be sure that everything moves forward as planned. You wont find many other companies where an educated Landscape Architect is on the job daily working alongside the crew. This is one of the major things that sets Lucas Landscaping apart from the competition.

After the project has been completed, the client and designer will do a project walkthrough to go over detailed aspects of the installation. At this point the jobsite will be cleaned up and polished just like a new car would be at the dealership. All dirt and debris will be removed from the jobsite, surfaces will be washed free of dust such to provide the fresh new appearance that our clients expect. When our mess has been cleaned and trailers pulled away, we typically take some project completion photos and who knows, your project may even be featured on this website. Ultimately, we want the client to be satisfied completely at the end of construction. This year we will also be offering monthly maintenance packages starting below $100 per month to keep your landscape looking as good as the day we finished.

We Sell Mulch, Topsoil, River Rock and Fieldstone. Pickup or Delivery.
Take a look at the table below for approximate pricing on various landscape materials. Keep in mind that if something isn't on the list, more than likely we can get it for you. Our mulch is the best looking mulch around....period. It retains its dark color for longer than other kinds and the texture compliments plantings and masonry perfectly. We recommend applying a thin coat of mulch annually, each spring for a neat and clean appearance. For your reference, one yard of mulch will cover an area of roughly 50 square feet (5' X 10' area) when applied about 1-1/2" deep. Our farm is located in Oakland, Maryland, if delivery is farther than 20 miles ( Deep Creek Lake ), additional delivery charges may apply. Canaan Valley deliveries will add an additional $75.00. We do offer volume discounts. The pricing below is for most normal situations.
