About this stone

Smooth 1 to 2 inch river stone with natural water worn beauty. Versatile enough for beds, borders, drainage, and decorative ground cover.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

Depth varies by application. Allentown landscape accents stay around 2 inches. High traffic areas need 4 to 6 inches of material.

1-2" River Stone

This smooth, rounded river rock ranges from one to two inches across, making it a popular choice for decorative ground cover, dry creek beds, and feature landscaping. It suits the traditional and colonial home styles common across this part of Pennsylvania, and its natural gray and tan tones work well with both formal garden layouts and casual backyard designs.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Decorative stone is just one piece for Allentown landscapes. Mulch protects your beds and soil gives silt loam ground a boost. Order together for one trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

River rock is tumbled smooth by water movement over thousands of years of natural erosion. Crushed stone is mechanically broken from larger rock at quarries and has sharp angular edges.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Natural flagstone and irregular stone varies considerably in thickness from piece to piece. Budget extra material and installation time for sorting and fitting irregular pieces together properly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stone colors often change dramatically between wet and dry conditions. View samples both wet and dry before ordering large quantities to avoid surprises after installation is complete.

The Unique Landscape of Allentown

Stone is a low‑maintenance finish that stays crisp season after season. Allentown freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Allentown, Pennsylvania, stone is a smart choice for low-maintenance areas, drainage fixes, and high-traffic spots. It defines beds and builds paths that stay neat after storms. A firm base and clean borders make stone look sharp and stay put. Choose stone by function: drainage rock, walkway gravel, or decorative river rock. Bulk delivery saves you the bag runs and puts the material right where you want it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What stone is best for drainage?

Angular crushed rock about 1–2 inches. It locks together but has void space for water movement. Important for Allentown's drainage needs.

Answer

Does stone help with drainage?

Definitely. Stone allows water passage that prevents pooling. In Allentown, where variable drainage is common, this is a major benefit.

Answer

How do I install stone on a slope?

Crushed angular stone stays put on inclines. For steep slopes, add terrace barriers. Especially important with Allentown's 46 inches of rain.

Answer

Do I need edging for stone beds?

Yes—without edging, stone migrates into lawns and beds. Metal, plastic, or natural stone borders all work well.

Answer

Is stone or mulch better for slopes?

Angular crushed stone is most stable. Shredded mulch also works. Avoid round stone and chunky chips on inclines.

Answer

How is delivery priced?

Distance determines delivery cost. You'll see an estimate in cart and exact amount when you enter your full address.

Answer

Does stone need to be replaced?

Replacement is rare. Stone is permanent unlike organic materials. Periodic top-ups address settling. Overall maintenance is light.
