1 1/2" Colorado River Rock

$65.00

1 1/2" Colorado River Rock is a highly popular, premium decorative landscaping stone known for its smooth, rounded profile and vibrant, multi-colored aesthetic. It typically features a rich blend of natural earth tones, including reds, purples, blues, grays, tans, and peppered flakes. This specific 1.5-inch mid-sized screening provides excellent visual impact and structural weight, making it heavy enough to stay in place during heavy rain while remaining exceptionally versatile. Common ApplicationsDry Creek Beds: Ideal for mapping out natural-looking drainage channels and managing heavy stormwater runoff.Landscape Accents: Used as a high-end, low-maintenance mulch alternative in garden beds and around foundations to protect siding from mud splashes.Drainage Systems: Works perfectly to line French drains, downspout zones, and pool areas due to its excellent water-flow properties. Estimated Coverage & OrderingCoverage Metric: One ton of 1 1/2" river rock covers approximately 125 square feet when laid out at a standard 2-inch depth. Key Purchase ConsiderationsUnwashed Delivery: This rock is dredged from natural river bottoms and sorted by size mechanical screens. Bulk deliveries will arrive covered in a layer of fine sand, silt, and dust. It will look slightly dull or chalky initially, but its vibrant colors will emerge fully after a thorough hosing or the first heavy rain.Underlayment: For garden beds and pathways, it is highly recommended to install a heavy-duty landscape fabric beneath the stones. This stops the heavy 1 1/2" rocks from sinking into the soil over time and vastly improves weed suppression.
