Choosing the right landscape supply in Bolivar, MO depends on function and aesthetic. For planting beds, high-quality topsoil or amended garden soil improves drainage and root growth; organic mulch suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and moderates soil temperature—choose between hardwood bark, shredded cedar, or dyed decorative mulch based on look and longevity. Decorative stone and gravel are great for low-maintenance beds and pathways; size and color should complement plantings and hardscape elements. Consider drainage: use angular stone for better water movement, and pair landscape fabric where weed control is essential. Our staff will assess sun exposure, soil type, and desired maintenance level to recommend the best options.

Hardscapes are durable but benefit from routine care to maintain appearance and structural integrity. Sweep or pressure-rinse paved surfaces to remove dirt and organic debris; remove weeds from joints and apply polymeric sand or joint stabilizer where appropriate. Inspect retaining walls seasonally for signs of settlement, bulging, or drainage blockage—proper drainage behind walls is essential to prevent pressure build-up. Sealing natural stone is optional but can reduce staining and make cleaning easier. We can recommend maintenance schedules and products tailored to the materials used so your hardscape stays attractive and functional for years.

Estimating quantities for your landscape supply in Bolivar, MO starts with accurate measurements of the project area. For mulch and topsoil, calculate square footage and decide desired depth (commonly 2–4 inches for mulch; 4–6 inches for topsoil amendments), then convert to cubic yards. For stone or gravel, depth varies with use—pathways often require 2–4 inches of decorative stone over a compacted base. Retaining walls and patios require base stone and bedding material calculations. If you prefer, bring project dimensions to our store or call with measurements and our team at Rovenstine Landscaping Supply will help compute quantities and recommend slight overages to account for compaction and settling.
