Meanwhile, neighborhoods range from older homes near the town center to wooded lots near F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. Overall, Foxborough yards are mostly mid-size suburban lots, with some larger wooded properties on the outskirts.

Foxborough customers often use stone for patio and walkway bases, drip edges and drainage behind retaining walls. For that reason, natural stone is a regular order in Foxborough. In short, our 1½″ Natural Stone is larger washed-look stone for drainage, dry wells and drip edges, and it is sold by the cubic yard.

Why Foxborough customers choose our natural stone

It is stone screened to roughly an inch and a half, with natural tones of tan, gray and brown. The mix of colors looks relaxed and natural, so it blends with New England homes, stone walls and woodland edges.

Unlike fine crushed stone, it does not pack into a hard surface. Instead, the pieces stay loose and open. That is exactly what you want around a foundation drain, a dry well or a downspout splash area, where water needs to disappear quickly.

Popular uses for natural stone in Foxborough

Homeowners and contractors in Foxborough put natural stone to work in many ways. This size handles both practical and decorative jobs:

• Dry wells and drainage pits
• Drip edges along rooflines without gutters
• French drain trenches (with fabric)
• Decorative beds and borders around the house
• Splash areas under downspouts
• Swales and low spots that collect runoff

How much natural stone does a Foxborough project need?

First, measure the area in feet and multiply length by width. Then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324. The result is cubic yards, which is how we sell natural stone. For decorative beds and drip edges, 3 inches of natural stone is typical. Drainage trenches and dry wells, however, are measured by their full volume.

For example, a typical Foxborough job of about 450 square feet needs roughly 4 yards at 3 inches, or 5.5 yards at 4 inches. Still, round up by half a yard for edges and settling. Or call (774) 372-1050, and we will check the math before the truck is loaded.

Delivery or pickup for Foxborough, MA

We deliver natural stone in Foxborough, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Most Foxborough streets are easy for our trucks. However, avoid scheduling near stadium events, because traffic around Route 1 can slow every delivery.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of natural stone and your Foxborough address.
2. Pick the drop spot. Next, choose firm, open ground close to the work area, clear of wires and branches.
3. Protect the surface. Then lay a tarp or plywood on pavement, so cleanup takes minutes.
4. Meet the truck. Finally, the driver calls ahead and places the pile as close to your spot as the ground safely allows.

Picking up at the yard

For Foxborough customers, the yard is a short drive west, so pickup works well for smaller jobs. As a rule, a full-size pickup carries about about 1 yard of this material safely. So check your payload rating, and bring a tarp for the ride back to Foxborough.

When to order natural stone in Foxborough

Stone can go down in any season, as long as the ground is not frozen or soaked. So many Foxborough customers schedule stone work in late spring and early fall, when it is cooler to shovel and rake. Also, fall is a good time to fix drainage before the snow melts.

How to install a natural stone drip edge

1. Dig the strip. Dig a strip about 12 to 18 inches wide and 4 inches deep under the roofline. Then slope the bottom away from the house.
2. Line it. Lay landscape fabric in the trench. As a result, soil will not work up into the stone over time.
3. Add an edge. Set a steel, plastic or stone edge along the lawn side. That way the stone stays in its lane.
4. Fill with stone. Spread natural stone to the top of the edge. Next, rake it level and rinse off any dust.
5. Check the flow. Finally, run a hose off the roof or wait for rain, and confirm water moves away from the foundation.
