Dark gray to black 1/2–3/4" crushed stone for beds and borders
Black gravel is an angular decorative stone in natural shades from dark gray to black, crushed to roughly 1/2 to 3/4 inch. It reads lighter when dry and turns deeper, close to black, when wet. The clean, modern look pairs well with white stone, green plants, and light hardscape. Use it in beds, borders, and around pools and patios. Rock type and exact shade vary by location (basalt, black granite, or dark trap rock), and size varies slightly.
Black gravel is angular 1/2 to 3/4 inch decorative stone in natural shades from dark gray to black, not dyed rock that washes out. Rock type and shade vary by location.
Also called: black star gravel, black landscape rock, black basalt, black decorative stone, dark landscape rock, charcoal gravel.

The order was excellent, the entire process went smoothly. I ordered the walkway gravel for a project around the home and the road base for a patio. The delivery driver placed it exactly where I wanted it and it was delivered on time. Excellent customer service.

Ordered gravel , it was delivered with in a reasonable time. It will need power spayed once it’s spread out but it’s probably expected out of river rock

Once again I had a great second delivery of gravel! We loved having Kevin deliver on time and in just the right space. He was able to back into our steep driveway with great skill. Jodie, who scheduled our delivery kept us up to date with exactly when our delivery would be arriving. I am very pleased with the type of gravel they provide. It looks great on our walkway!

We received the best communication and support during the buying and delivery processes. User friendly links and fast quote, and the river rock is exactly as we pictured it. Would recommend Hello gravel from anywhere in the USA.

The road base was perfect for my project! I now have a very usable path to get to my hunting area. Thanks to everyone at Hello Gravel for all your support; especially Brian (driver) and Keronica. They were absolute superstars throughout my entire project!!!
