Bagged Pebbles & Cobbles
We use the term ‘bagged’ because these colorful rocks are not sold by the yard as much of our materials are, but are sold by weight. They are sold in smaller quantities and some are in 40 lb. and 75 lb. bags and others are wire baskets on pallets.
We sell two kinds of this rock: Mexican Pebbles & Cobbles, which includes Buff, Black, Red, and Multi-Color. These are imported from Mexico. The other is Pammie Pebbles, which are even more colorful, and they sourced from the state of Montana.
These are beautiful, well-rounded from thousands of years of tumbling around in water. They come in several different, and even vibrant colors. The buff and black colors are perfect left dry, whereas the red and multi-colored variety comes to life when wet, or with a clear coating over them. They are commonly used in exposed aggregate walkways, ornamental gardens, and more.
All of these rocks are hand sorted because machines couldn’t do that job very well. As a result of the hand selection and the type of rounded rock, these cost a bit more than other types of decorative rock, but we think you’ll agree that they are worth it. Indeed, our sales on these rocks have risen to the point that we have dramatically increased our selection and inventory. Stop by and see them in person.

How to Lay Sod in Your Yard - Thrift Diving
Fall can be the perfect time to lay new sod in your yard! The temps are cooling off, but it's still warm enough for sod to take root. It's a big job for one person, so you'll definitely need help, depending on the size of your yard. It can also be more expensive than simply re-seeding your lawn. But with a help, and a weekend, you can get it done! Here's how I did a section of my yard!

The Secret to Weed-Free Gravel Garden Pathways
For years I have felt like I was pulling the same weeds over and over again in the exact same locations, in my garden pathways. Rye grass, crab grass, goldenrod. I would pull weeds for hours and two days later they’d be back.
I used high-quality landscaping fabric and gravel in my pathways—and it was stunning and weed-free for a couple of months. Then it became a nightmare to keep weed-free. It was during a random conversation with a family member that I discovered the problem… landscaping fabric. I pulled it up and waited a month before creating and sharing this video to make sure this really worked. And it’s been a complete game-changer.
So if landscaping fabric is a no-go, what to use in the future? I’ll be sticking with heavy-sheet-mulching with cardboard, compost and soil. This approach hasn’t steered me wrong yet in creating growing spaces. In the future, I’ll do the same on walkways, personally.

DIY Concrete
Dixon Landscape now offers a Do It Yourself (DIY) solution for your concrete needs. We have a fleet of small “portable cement mixers" that tow behind a vehicle and hold 1-yard of concrete, which continues to mix during transit so that it is an effective pour when it arrives at the destination.
It is a very inexpensive way to do a smaller job compared to buying concrete in a bigger truck. It is also more convenient and useful than mixing it yourself onsite – and a good deal less work as well.
We load all the ingredients onsite (concrete gravel, cement and water) into the “mixer trailer" while it is spinning here at Dixon Landscape…the mixer trailer is then ready to haul away to the job destination.

Types of Lawn Plants
Lawns need not be, and have not always been, made up of grasses alone. Other plants for lawn-like usable garden areas are sedges, low herbs and wildflowers, moss lawns, and ground covers that can be walked upon.
Thousands of varieties of grasses and grasslike plants are used for lawns, each adapted to specific conditions of precipitation and irrigation, seasonal temperatures, and sun/shade tolerances. Plant hybridizers and botanists are constantly creating and finding improved varieties of the basic species and new ones, often more economical and environmentally sustainable by needing less water, fertilizer, pest and disease treatments, and maintenance. The three basic categories are cool season grasses, warm season grasses, and grass alternatives.
