About this item
- The stones stay put. The binder locks the aggregate into a single porous mass, so mowers, blowers, foot traffic, and rain stop redistributing your stone.
- It stays permeable. Unlike a mortar or concrete detail, water drains straight through. That is what makes it safe around tree roots.
- Kit form, no guesswork. Binder and stone come matched and pre-portioned. You are not estimating a ratio on site.
- Trowel applied. No forms, no screed rails, no finishing crew. One person with a trowel can do a tree well.
- Low maintenance detail. Bonded stone does not need to be raked back into place or topped up every spring.
- Durable in harsh conditions. Alliance rates the cured surface for durability in extreme conditions.

Why Gator Rock Bond Kit?
Everything You Need To Pour A Small Bonded Stone Surface, In One Pail
Loose decorative stone in a tree well or a border looks great for about one season, then it is in the lawn, in the mower, and in the pool. Bonding it solves that without giving up permeability.

Everything You Need To Pour A Small Bonded Stone Surface, In One Pail
The Gator Rock Bond kit pairs a 1/2 quart container of liquid binding agent with 40 lb of riverstone. Mix the two for four minutes, trowel the result within twenty minutes, and you get a porous, permeable decorative surface that holds its stones instead of scattering them. It is the go to for tree wells, banding, trim details, and short pathways.

Where Gator Rock Bond Kit Works
Rock Bond is a detail product. It shines in the places a full hardscape surface would be overkill.
- Tree wells and planting rings
- Banding and decorative borders between paved areas
- Short garden pathways and stepping details
- Trim work where a paved surface meets a planting bed
- Filling awkward transitions and odd shaped leftovers
- Around downspout outlets where you want drainage but not loose stone
- Dry creek bed accents that need to hold their shape
Where Gator Rock Bond Kit Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)
Not for interior use. Alliance rates this for outdoor pedestrian use only.
Do not install below 60°F (16°C). The binder will not cure properly.
Not for heavy traffic areas. This is not a driveway or a commercial walkway product.
Do not install if rain is expected within 24 hours. The surface needs a full dry day.
Do not stretch the mix past 20 minutes of working time. Once it starts to set in the pail, it is done.
