How Much You Need

Calculate your river rock quantity by measuring length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover. If you need a 4 inch layer across a 20 by 15 foot area, you are looking at roughly 5 tons. Use the calculator to estimate your exact quantity before ordering.

One ton of river rock covers about 80 square feet at 3 inches deep. If you want deeper coverage, say 4 or 5 inches, you need more tonnage. If you are creating a thinner layer, say 2 inches, one ton stretches further. The calculator adjusts for your specific depth preference. This helps you avoid ordering too little and having a second delivery.

About River Rock

River rock consists of smooth, naturally rounded stones, typically 1 to 3 inches in size. The rocks range in color from cream and gray to brown and rust tones, creating a mixed natural appearance that looks at home in any desert landscape. Unlike crushed stone or angular rock, river rock has no sharp edges, making it safer for bare feet and easier to work with by hand.

River rock forms over thousands of years as water tumbles stones smooth inside riverbeds and streams. It is ideal for both decorative and functional landscaping applications. The stones resist weathering in Arizona's climate and maintain their appearance for many years. River rock drains well, making it suitable for areas where water needs to move through, such as drainage zones or next to downspouts and gutters.
