Angular crushed stone stays put on a slope — 1.5-inch gray granite locks together where rounded stone rolls. Crushed faces bite into each other and into the grade; smooth pea stone and riverbed migrate downhill with every rain, ending up in the lawn or the street.
Match the stone to the grade
- Gentle slopes: 1.5" angular granite, about 3" deep, over fabric
- Steep banks and washout zones: rip rap (6"–12" stone) armors the surface
- Avoid: rounded pea stone or riverbed on any real grade
Fabric under stone is one place it genuinely earns its keep. Shop 1.5" Gray Granite or Rip Rap 6"–12", and call or text (617) 645-0987 if you're not sure which your slope needs. Both ship in up to 6-yard loads.
