Decorative Stone Rock
We deliver every gradeDecorative Stone Rock 57 Stone
#57 stone is crushed rock screened between about 1 inch and 1/4 inch, with the fines washed out. The pieces are angular, so they lock together under weight instead of shifting around. Water runs right through the gaps, which is why you'll see it under slabs and around drain pipes as often as on top of driveways.
The 57 is a screen size from the ASTM D448 spec. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about what kind of rock they came from. You'll find #57 sold as limestone, granite, or river gravel, and the price tracks the local quarry stock more than the label on the pile.

How to choose within decorative stone rock 57 stone
Read at the right distance
Pick the size that reads from where you'll see it. Fist-sized boulders in a small bed look like debris; pea-sized stone across a big front yard looks like dust.
Color that stays put
Natural stone holds its color for years. Dyed or coated pieces fade to grey after a season or two of sun.
Rounded vs. angular
Rounded stone rolls under a shoe, so it belongs inside a border. Angular stone stays put on a slope but reads harder underfoot.
