Clean River Stone refers to naturally rounded, smooth stones that have been sourced from riverbeds and thoroughly washed to remove dirt, sand, and debris. These stones come out of the river a grey clour and over a short period of time when exposed to the air turn shades of brown, grey, and tan.

How to Use Clean River Stone
Prepare the Area
Clear the area of debris, weeds, and any other unwanted materials. For garden beds or decorative features, consider laying down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent weed growth.
Create a Base Layer (if needed)
For uses like retaining walls, consider laying a base of smaller, compacted stones or gravel to provide additional stability and help with drainage.
Position the Stones
Arrange the Clean River Stone 70-150mm in the desired pattern. For pathways or decorative areas, space the stones evenly. For retaining walls, stack the stones in layers, ensuring they interlock for stability.
Compact & Level the Surface
If you're using these stones in pathways or driveways, compact them slightly to ensure stability. For walls, ensure each layer of stones is tightly packed.
Finishing Touches
If using for water features, ensure the stones are arranged to create the desired effect, whether that’s a dry creek bed or a pond edge.
