Choosing a Stone
| Stone | Look | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| White marble chips | Bright angular white | Beds, borders, high contrast against planting |
| Mini marble chips | Finer white, 3/8 in | Paths and tighter borders |
| River rock | Smooth rounded, mixed tones | Dry creek beds, drainage swales, naturalistic beds |
| River pebbles | Smaller smooth stone | Borders, potted plants, water features |
| Pea gravel | Small rounded, tan mix | Paths, patios, playground base, drainage |
| Egg rock | 1 to 2 in rounded | Larger scale beds and erosion control |
| Red lava rock | Porous, deep red, lightweight | Color contrast, and it weighs far less per bag |
| Drainage rock | Crushed angular | French drains, dry wells, under downspouts |
How Much You Need
- At 2 inches deep, one 0.5 cu ft bag covers about 3 sq ft
- At 3 inches deep, about 2 sq ft
- Angular stone locks together and stays put on slopes better than rounded
- Rounded stone is more comfortable underfoot
- Put landscape fabric underneath or the stone works into the soil
