Natural Stone for Landscapes

Smooth, Natural, Built to Last
River rock is stone that water already finished. Years of tumbling in a riverbed wear off the sharp edges and leave smooth, rounded stones in a natural mix of tan, gray, brown, and white. That look is why it shows up in so many landscape beds, borders, and dry creek beds.
It works hard, too. River rock doesn’t float, rot, or blow away like mulch, so it’s the go-to around downspouts, along a foundation drip line, and in the channels that carry stormwater across a yard. The larger sizes slow running water and stop the soil underneath from washing out.
Each rock load is a full truck, up to 21.5 tons. If you’re searching for river rock delivery near me anywhere in Marshall, Maury, Williamson, Rutherford, or Bedford County, you’re inside our regular delivery area. Call to ask which sizes are available for your job.
Common Uses
River rock does double duty as decoration and drainage.
A permanent ground cover around shrubs and trees that never needs to be replaced like mulch.
A natural-looking channel that carries stormwater across the yard and looks good when it's dry.
Rock at the end of a downspout breaks up the flow so it doesn't dig a hole in the yard.
A band of stone along the house keeps rain from splashing mud onto siding and the foundation.
Larger stone on slopes and ditch banks slows runoff and holds soil in place.
Smooth stone lines the edges of ponds, fountains, and streams for a natural look.
Know What You're Ordering
All three drain well. The difference is size, shape, and what the surface has to do.
Larger, smooth, rounded stone. Best for beds, creek beds, and drainage where looks and water control both matter.
Small, rounded stone that's soft underfoot. Best for patios, walkways, and play areas.
Angular washed stone that locks together. Best for driveways, French drains, and stone bases.
Need it to carry traffic? River rock rolls under tires, so pair crusher run with #57 for driveways.

Figure Your Order
River rock is sold by the ton. Multiply the length, width, and depth of the area in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to get tons.
Bigger stone needs a deeper layer to cover the ground. Plan on 2 to 3 inches for smaller rock and 4 to 6 inches for larger rock. One full load of up to 21.5 tons covers roughly 1,600 square feet at 3 inches deep.
About 4 cubic yards, or 5 tons.
About 6 cubic yards, or 8 tons.
About 19 cubic yards, or 26 tons. Plan on two loads.
Built for Big Orders
Big jobs run on schedule when the material shows up on time. Our team runs trucks every day, and for large jobs our hauling network brings up to 20 to 25 trucks to the site. On nearby deliveries that means 30 to 40 loads a day, depending on haul distance and offload time.
Every dirt load carries 16 to 17 cubic yards, and every rock load carries up to 21.5 tons. Fewer trips for the same yardage keeps your site moving and your costs down.
Tell us the material, the number of loads, and the job site, and you’ll get a straight answer on price and schedule. The same crew handles your first load and your last.
Install Tips
A little prep keeps river rock looking good for years.
Landscape fabric under the rock keeps weeds down and stops the stone from sinking into the soil.
Steel, stone, or timber edging holds the rock in the bed and keeps it out of the mower's path.
For creek beds, set the largest stones along the edges first, then fill the channel with smaller rock.
Common Questions
River rock is natural stone that’s been smoothed and rounded by moving water. It comes in a mix of earth tones and is used for landscaping, drainage, and erosion control.
River rock ranges from about 1 inch up to larger cobbles several inches across. Call to ask which sizes are available, and tell us what the rock is for so you get the right one.
Plan on 2 to 3 inches for smaller rock and 4 to 6 inches for larger rock, so the stones cover the ground with no fabric showing.
River rock costs more up front, but it doesn’t break down, float away in heavy rain, or need to be replaced every year. It’s the better choice anywhere water runs.
It’s not a good fit. The rounded stones roll under tires. For a driveway, use crusher run for the base and #57 gravel on top.
