Did you know? To "flag" a stone is to make a stone thinner. Many "flagstones" are split or delaminated from larger blocks to form a smooth sheet of stone.

The approximate size of a 1-ton boulder is 1.5 feet tall x 3 feet wide x 3 feet long.

For walkways or patios covered with pea gravel, choose smaller gravel to walk on. For driveways, consider a slightly larger gravel to keep stones from sticking in the tire treads.

Most applications require only 2-inches of gravel. For driveways and parking pads, consider using 2" of Crush-N-Run as a base.
