1/4 Minus River Rock

5.011 reviews

Fine crushed gravel that packs into paths you can set a level on.

1/4 minus river rock is crushed gravel graded from 1/4" down to fines — the fine-textured cousin of our 3/4 minus, built for finish work. It compacts into a firm, smooth, stable surface that makes it the best pick for pathways and the leveling course under pavers and retaining walls. The crushed aggregate and fines bind tight, so what you rake flat stays flat. One cubic yard weighs approximately 2,200 lbs. Hello Gravel delivers it in bulk by dump truck across Salem and the Willamette Valley.

Beautiful rock, better than pictured. Nina was very proactive and helpful in the coordination of delivery of 5 tons of rock to ensure that expectations were set correctly and exceeded. Great communicator! We were able to fill the whole front of our house flower buds with beautiful river rock and all around the back of our pool cage.
