Frequently Asked Questions

• How much area does one cubic yard cover? One cubic yard of Conn. River Round covers approximately 100 square feet when installed at a standard 3-inch depth. For deeper applications, adjust your tonnage calculations accordingly.

• How is this stone sold and delivered? This material is available in bulk quantities for convenient job-site delivery or local yard pickup across Rhode Island.

• Should I expect color variation between loads? Yes. Because this is a 100% natural stone product, minor variations in shade, veining, and color distribution are normal and enhance its organic appearance.

• What kind of sub-base preparation do I need? For pathway or ground-cover installations, we recommend laying a heavy-duty geotextile weed fabric over compacted subgrade prior to spreading the stone to prevent soil migration.

Pro Contractor Tip

When installing Conn. River Round in high-traffic pathways or around patios, excavate the sub-grade at least 3 inches deep and compact the sub-base thoroughly. Laying a commercial-grade non-woven geotextile fabric underneath the aggregate prevents native soil from mixing with the stone, ensuring long-term drainage efficiency and preventing uneven settling.
