Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the typical size of River Jack stone? The stones are primarily 1" to 3" in size, though natural harvesting and screening process means some individual pieces may measure up to 6" in length.
-
Why does the stone look dusty or dirty when delivered? Due to the natural harvesting process, stones may carry residual surface dust and mud upon arrival, which naturally washes clean after a few rainfalls or a quick hose rinse.
-
How is this decorative stone available for purchase? River Jack 1"-3" is available in bulk quantities for convenient yard pickup or direct job-site delivery across Rhode Island.

Can I view the stone in person before ordering? Yes, because natural stone colors and exact sizing distributions vary, we always welcome customers to visit our East Greenwich yard to view the material firsthand.
Pro Contractor Tip
When installing River Jack 1"-3" in landscape beds or dry creek applications, lay down a heavy-duty, professional-grade woven geotextile fabric beneath the stone. This suppresses weed growth while maintaining the high permeability and structural integrity of the aggregate layer.
