Fred, of the 50-year-old RCP (It stands for "Revolutionized Concrete Products"), says dropping a 2-1/2-inch deep layer of basic gray 3/4-inch crushed decorative rock on your 10-by-20 foot yard would take 1-1/2 cubic yards. That'd cost around $28. Cheap because it comes from local quarries. Otay, Santee, Stone Canyon. Other colors come in from Nevada, Barstow, Arizona. Las Vegas "Sunset Gold" would cost $92. Desert Rose pink, $73. The most expensive -- and popular -- Vegas white would be around $114. Add $50-$70 for delivery.
