Decorative Stone Rock
We deliver every gradeRiver Rock
River rock is smooth, rounded stone shaped by years of tumbling in moving water. The edges get worn off, so pieces come out round or oval instead of jagged. Colors run through earth tones like brown, tan, gray, and cream, since the rock picks up whatever local geology the river cut through. Sizes go from about 3/8 inch up to 4 or 5 inches across.
River rock doesn't have a single number code the way crushed stone does. Suppliers sort it by size range, so you'll see labels like 3/8-inch, 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch. Bigger stones leave bigger gaps between the pieces, which is why the larger sizes work well for drainage. Pricing usually runs $40 to $120 a cubic yard depending on size and how far the rock traveled from its source.
What people use it for
How to choose within river rock
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.
