River Gravel (80-150mm)

Our River Gravel (80–150mm) is a large decorative river stone with smooth, rounded edges, making it a great natural addition to water features and bold landscape designs where larger stones are required.

This size of River Gravel is ideal for:

• Rockeries
• Dry creek beds
• Water features
• Around ponds
• Feature gardens
• Erosion control projects

Yes. River Gravel (80–150mm) is commonly used in ponds, streams, waterfalls, swales, and dry creek beds. The smooth, rounded stones resemble naturally river-worn rocks, making them an excellent choice for creating authentic-looking water features.

The quantity required depends on the size of your project and the installation depth.

Recommended Depth: A depth of 100–150mm is generally recommended for larger decorative stones.

Start by measuring the length and width of the area where you intend to install the stones.

Then calculate the required volume using the following formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth

Alternatively, use our cubic metre calculator above to quickly estimate the quantity required.

Because River Gravel (80–150mm) is a larger stone, it is often combined with other stone sizes or carefully positioned to create a particular landscape design. Installation is therefore more hands-on than with smaller decorative gravels.

For the best results, we recommend following these steps:

• Prepare the area and remove any weeds.
• Install geotextile weed mat if required.
• Install garden edging where appropriate.
• Spread the stones evenly across the area.
• Position individual stones by hand to achieve a natural, balanced appearance.
