We carry river jack by the 50 lb. bag or in bulk by the cubic yard. Bagged river jack (50 lbs.) comes in three different sizes : ⅜”, ¾”, and 2”. We can carry 60 bags of river jack on one pallet. If you’re ordering a full pallet of material we will bring a forklift to unload the product onto your driveway. Bulk river jack (cubic yards) comes in the following sizes:  ¾”, 1 to 4” and 3 to 6”.

If you’re interested in buying in bulk, we can deliver a maximum of 4 cubic yards on one truck over to your location. One yard of river jack is equivalent to 2,600 pounds. The maximum amount of weight we can fit on one truck is 12,500 lbs.If you need more than 4 cubic yards of River Jack, it will require more truck(s) and additional delivery fee(s).

In addition to delivery, we can also provide installation services.

When installing river jack gravel and other decorative stone products:

• Measure the area where you intend to place your river jack gravel. Then, use our coverage calculator to determine how much river jack you need.
• Use an edger to create a perimeter around the area you wish to fill.
• Use a hoe to remove the grass where you will place your river jack.
• Dig the area about 2 to 3” deep and wide as you wish.
• Level or grade the ground with a hard rake or a lawn leveling tool.
• Pin down landscape fabric with sod pins to inhibit weed growth and keep the stones from settling into the Earth.
• Place your river jack gravel and hand spread it into place.
• Rinse the stone with water to remove any dust or dirt debris.

How do I know how much stone to use?

Use our coverage calculator to determine how much material you’ll need for any given space in the garden. You can measure the space where you wish to add mulch, stone or topsoil and apply that to our calculator to see how much you will need. In general, we recommend placing a 2 to 4” layer of river jack if you’re using it for decorative purposes.

No, the stone is naturally colored and does not fade. It may look lighter when dry or dusty, but rinsing restores the colors.

Is River Jack good for drainage?

Yes,  its rounded shape allows water to flow easily through it, making it a great choice for rock beds and for the base of downspouts.
