Description

4B-6B River Gravel is the largest size gravel that we stock at APLS. With an average diameter of 4″ – 8″, this gradation is typically used as bedding around large vegetation, or on hillside beds where the grade is too steep for smaller stones to hold their position. In addition, 4B-6B is perfect for applications such as pond barriers/accents and garden edging.

Unlike limestone, which is crushed to size and angular in shape, river gravel is naturally sized and rounded from many years of erosion. The original source for gravel was river dredging, which was outlawed due to its environmental effects. River gravel is now obtained from old river banks, which is a much more environmentally friendly method.

Note:  While all of our gravels are “washed”, there may still be a light residue left on the stones, which is left over from the mining, screening, and transportation. Once the gravel is spread, the first rain/hosing will remove the residue and expose the natural colors.
