Know before you buy
No, these are natural stones, so you should expect variations in both shape and specific dimensions within the 2-to-4-inch range. Their angular yet smooth texture gives them a more organic, rugged look compared to perfectly uniform manufactured gravel.
While they are heavy and stable, they are generally too large and uneven for comfortable walking paths. They are best suited for decorative borders, dry creek beds, or areas where you want to prevent soil erosion.
Using a high-quality landscape fabric is recommended if you are placing these stones directly on soil. This helps prevent weeds from growing up between the rocks and keeps the stones from sinking into the dirt over time.
Yes, like most natural stone, the medium-brown tones will appear deeper and more vibrant when wet. This makes them an excellent choice for dry creek beds, as they will look their best during and after rainfall.
Measure the length and width of the area you intend to cover and decide on the desired depth. Since these stones are 2-4 inches, you should aim for a depth of at least 3-4 inches to ensure full coverage without seeing the ground underneath.
