Decorative Stone Rock
We deliver every gradeDecorative Stone Rock 7 Stone
#7 stone is crushed rock screened so most pieces fall between about 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch. It's usually washed, which means the dust and fines get rinsed out at the plant. The pieces are angular, and because there's almost nothing small filling the gaps, water runs straight through it. That's why you'll see it under pavers, around foundation drains, and bedded around pipes.
The 7 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, so a #7 near you might be granite, limestone, or trap rock depending on the local quarry. Because it's washed and screened to a tight size, it usually runs a little more per ton than a plain crushed base like #57 or road base.
What people use it for
How to choose within decorative stone rock 7 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.
