Gravel, Stone & Topsoil
Delivered Free Across Rhode Island

“No more channels cutting through to the garden after a hard rain, and the rounded stones from Rhode Island Rock Supply look a lot more finished than the plastic splash blocks we had there before. Held its color and position through a full year of weather.”

“My grandson helped me spread two tons of walkway gravel along the path from the patio to the garden shed in Middletown last month. It is light enough that an eight year old with a rake can move it around without much trouble, which made the job almost fun. Drains well after rain and has not needed any topping up so far.”

“Two tons of 3/8 inch stone from Rhode Island Rock Supply went into a memorial garden path we built behind the church in Warren. Volunteers spread it by wheelbarrow over a single Saturday morning without much trouble since it is light and doesn't fight the rake. The color matches the brick walkway out front better than we hoped, and after a full winter of freeze and thaw it hasn't heaved or shifted at all.”

“Backfilled behind a new retaining wall with five tons of drain rock on a sloped lot in Glocester. Rhode Island Rock Supply had it delivered within a day, and it keeps water from building up pressure against the wall the way plain dirt backfill would, draining through the weep holes exactly like it should. Better graded and cleaner than the mix I used to get from a pit closer to home, less fines mixed in overall.”

“Our farm pond dam in Richmond had been slumping on the downhill side for a couple of years, so we finally brought in ten tons of riprap to armor the whole face. Sits much heavier than the fieldstone we tried piling on ourselves a while back, which kept shifting every spring thaw, unlike what Rhode Island Rock Supply delivered this time. This is the first winter the dam has held its shape without needing any patching.”

“Every winter the feeding area behind our barn in Coventry turned into a churned up mess, and after trying crusher run and plain gravel with no luck, we switched to railroad ballast on a neighbor's advice. Went with eighteen tons split between the feeding pad and the worst stretch of the farm lane leading to it. The tri-axle handled the narrow approach off the town road without trouble, dumping in two piles exactly where we marked with stakes. A full winter later, including a stretch of thaw that turned everything else to soup, this area alone stayed firm enough to walk across without boots sinking, cutting down on morning chores.”
