Stone Near Me at the Bickham Rd Yard

A search for stone near me is a shopping trip. You want a yard close enough to visit, with enough material on the ground to make a real choice. This page is that yard: the Chesshir Stone location on Bickham Rd in Dallas.

Hours, the phone number, and the map are above. The notes below are what to expect once you are in the gate, so the visit is useful instead of a lap around the wrong pile.

What this yard stocks

The mix changes by delivery, so treat the catalog as the menu and the yard as the proof. On a normal day you can walk:

• River rock for beds, dry creeks, and water-feature edges
• Gravel for paths, drainage, and places that need stone to lock
• Flagstone and other natural stone for patios, steppers, and accents. If you are still choosing a color, the flagstone guide is the longer version
• Pavers, pool coping, sand, mulch, and the rest of the hardscape supplies the catalog lists

See color wet and dry. Dust on a pile hides the tone you will live with after the first rain. A rinsed handful is a better sample than a phone photo taken in the parking lot.

How a visit usually goes

Bring a brick, a piece of existing stone, or a daylight photo of the house if you are matching something. Also bring the rough size of the area and the depth you planned. Length times width times depth, in feet, divided by 27, is cubic yards. Add a little extra for edges and the first top-dress so you are not short on the last corner.

Tell us how the stone will be used. A decorative bed, a path people walk, a drainage trench, and a pool edge are different products. Rounded river rock looks finished in a bed and rolls underfoot on a slope. Crushed gravel locks. If you are still deciding, read river rock versus gravel before you point at a pile.

Small loads can go in a truck or trailer if the vehicle can take the weight. Wet rock is heavier than it looks. Larger jobs usually need a dump. Say whether the truck can get through the gate, and whether it should dump on the bed or only at the curb. A load dumped on the lawn and then shoveled into the bed picks up soil.

Pickup, delivery, and the other yards

Bickham is the main Dallas yard. Chesshir also has yards on Northwest Highway, Miller Rd, in Plano, and in Hurst. Start with the locations list if another yard is closer to the job. Call (469) 972-6781 when the color has to be confirmed before a crew loses half a day.

We do not install. If a contractor is buying, send them with the size and the quantity. If you are buying for your own place, we can help you leave with the product that fits the job instead of a decorative mix that will not stay where you put it.

Stone near me, compared with a bag from the hardware store

Bags are fine for a planter or a patch. They get expensive and inconsistent once the area is a real bed, a creek, or a path. A yard lets you see the lot, feel the size, and buy by the yard from one pile.

That is the practical difference behind stone near me. Distance matters, and so does whether you can approve the material with your eyes. If the project is specifically rounded stone, the river rock notes go deeper. If it is angular stone for a path or a drain, start with gravel. For a bed you do not want to remulch every spring, see low-maintenance river rock landscaping.

What we will not decide for you

We will not design the bed, pick your plants, or tell you the coping detail on a pool we have not seen. Those belong to you or to the contractor who is building it. What we can do at this yard is put the right pile in front of you and tell you when the stone you are pointing at is the wrong shape for the use you described.

Bring a number. A front bed that is 30 feet by 4 feet at 2 inches is under a yard of stone before waste, so order about a yard and finish from that pile. People who arrive with “enough for the front” leave with too much or too little. The map and the hours above are there so the trip itself is easy. The decision is the pile, the size, and whether the truck dumps on the work or at the street.

If another Chesshir yard is closer to the job and has the same material, use that one. Bickham is the main Dallas stop, not the only one. Call ahead when the match is specific. Walking in is fine when you are still comparing. Weekday mornings are the easier time to walk the rows without waiting on a line of contractor trucks.

Questions before you drive over

Can I look without ordering?

Yes. Walking the piles is how most people decide. If you only have a few minutes, call and ask which row has the color you are matching.

Do you deliver to the project?

Yes, when the address and the truck access work. Have the gate width and a dump spot ready before you book the load.

What if I am not sure which stone I need?

Bring the use, the measurements, and anything you are trying to match. The local stone supplier guide lists what to ask at any yard, including this one.

Are you the installer?

No. Chesshir sells the stone. The crew that builds the bed, the patio, or the pool edge is separate.

When you are ready, use the map above, request a quote, or call (469) 972-6781. If you want to compare material first, the catalog is the fastest way to narrow the list before you get in the truck.
