Customer Reviews for Pavestone RumbleStone 46 in. x 10.5 in. Tree Ring Kit in Sierra Blend

This is a nice-looking stone tree ring. I really like how the final product turned out. I bought two of these rings and built them myself. It's a relatively easy project, but it does take some time and patience. It also requires some heavy lifting. I do wish there was a fourth level, as the three levels are still a little low. I'll probably buy some more of these bricks and put a fourth level up, and raise the trees in the ring a little higher. Here was my experience with the whole install: I bought two of these rings online and had them delivered to my local Home Depot. I have a 2017 Subaru Forester, and rented a U-Haul 5x8 utility trailer for the day. The pallets that these tree rings come on are in the 600-pound/each range. So at 1,200 pounds total for both, I was pretty much as the max load of the trailer. It's a short drive from my house to the store, and while my car struggled a little, it wasn't too bad (Subarus don't generally have a high towing capacity). The customer service staff was super helpful, and loaded the two pallets on the trailer with a fork lift. The trailer was just wide enough to slide the pallets between the two wheel covers. At home, I unloaded the pallets brick-by-brick and moved them into the backyard by wheelbarrow. Next up, I measured the radius to dig into the ground, from the center of where I was going to plant the tree, to know where to dig to put the bottom ring in. After digging about 8-inches down in a circle, and a little wider than one of the bricks, I filled the ring with about 6-inches of Pavestone Paver Base. This took around 8 bags of the stuff. On top of the Paver Base, I poured about 2-inches of the Pavestone Leveling Sand, which took around 5 bags. During this process, I used a heavy steel tamper to help settle the base and sand after I poured each bag.. Now onto the tedious part: setting the bottom ring and leveling each brick. For each brick I set on the leveling sand, I used a small, 8-inch bubble level to check the level. To adjust, tap the brick with a rubber mallet, or add sand under the brick, and tap with the rubber mallet to settle. Some bricks took more firm hits with the mallet than others. Also, as you progress, keep checking to make sure the circle will close at the end. I ended up with a slightly decreasing radius, and wan't able to fit the final brick at the end, which required fixing and re-leveling. Adjustments also had to be made due to the grade (slope) of my backyard. Once the bottom ring it level, the next step is a piece of cake: build the next two brick rings. The instructions say to use construction epoxy to secure the bricks. I decided to skip this part and just put the rings on top of each other without epoxy. So far so good, but the epoxy can be added later if needed. Once built, put your tree in and will it with soil. I really like this product, and the shipping/delivery/install was all very good. Nothing was damaged during shipping, and the experience at the local store was very good.

After having a diseased 45 foot tall palm tree cut down, I was faced with an unsightly tree stump six inches high. The "Rumblestone Tree Ring Kit" was the solution to my problem. At under $200.00 and a few hours or installing it, plus adding a fourth row of "Sierra Blend" stone for contrast it turned my "pumpkin" into a golden chariot! I now can use it as a planter and/or a fire-pit. I have had the tree ring kit for about a month. I am very pleased with it and have had several compliments on it.

it looks great .. only wish it was one layer higher...

Can't beat the price. Delivered to my driveway via freight for $55. Pallet was busted up but everything (including 3 extra blocks) were there. Easy to assemble if you have ever played with blocks. Be sure to have a level lower layer and the rest pile right on. I used some liquid nail in between layers to keep it from shifting in cold NE winters.

Easy to put together and looks nice! Exactly what I wanted. Used as a fire pit instead of a tree ring. Left bottom spacers out to create a neat lighting effect when the fire is lit. No complaints about the product. I had the product shipped to my house. Delivery guy struggled with it a bit (it's pretty heavy). Product could have been stacked a little bit better to help with the balance of the package. Almost fell off delivery truck bed. Gave me a quick scare but I was there to assist. No problems.

Could not buy spares!

looks good and easy to assemble.

The stones were in good shape when they arrived and were easy to install. We used them for a tree ring to add some umph to front yard.

Delivery was delayed but the product was great and easy to assemble

Great color, easy to assemble once circumference is made.

I purchased the tree ring to use as a fire pit and it has worked out perfectly.

I was disappointed with both the quality and color of the stones. Several stones were already significantly chipped when we received them and the only way the color looks like what was run in your advertisement is when they are WET. When dry they are a VERY pale pinkish color.

Color of stone is not at all close to pictured. Picture shows stone with hues of browns, reds, and grey. My stone was 90% solid red terra cotta color. Many bricks had big chips out of them as well.

Everything arrived in perfect condition..very solid.

I would’ve given a better rating but you shorted me one of the large blocks. Fortunately I was able to improvise on the bottom course or I would’ve been really mad!!

Excellent! Easy to install! Looks great!

Our son-in-law who is a bricklayer put this together in our front yard in about an hour and 15 minutes. Looks good and we have had many favorable comments from neighbors. We are using this tree ring as a plant container. We planted some tall grass in the middle and petunias around the grass. It is lovely. The only negative comment is that the kit was short several stones for the size we ordered, but our son-in-law was able to improvise by cutting some of the stones in half to use on the bottom -- once filled with dirt, you cannot tell. Very pleased with overall result and look.

exactly as I expected, easily put together and looks great! l

Nice tree ring.

The only problem is that several stones are chipped. Other than that, we’re happy with the product.

Very nice

Nice blocks, went together fine. I just wish I could buy a few singles to add to it. I had to make the rings a bit bigger and need to fill gaps in.

We purched this tree ring kit to use as a firepit. It was easy to install. And was just as pictured. Very pleased with our purchase.

This was easy to build and very attractive. It has been up a few months and seen a lot of use (we inserted a steel fire pit ring and lava stone).

Looks great and delivered two weeks earlier than what you was given during checkout!

Took a while to get it, and the order was missing the spacers. 2nd order received a week later and now it's great!
