Needed to replace some black river rock used to divert water away from mulch on sloping driveway. Perfect size and color to blend in with mulch.

Rocks 1-2 inches are beautiful. Just what I expected. 20 bags for 4ft x 10ft area single layer. Kind of expensive though.

Great price
These worked out perfectly for our landscaping vision and the Square footage suggestions for how much to purchase was right on point!

    These rocks were exactly what we wanted for our cactus garden. Buy more than you think you need because 20 pounds might sound like a lot but didn’t go as far as we wanted. We ended up buying 6 bags (see picture) and still need about 3-4 more bags to cover the garden.

    I bought these for rock painting and I read the comments thoroughly: they said they were not treated with a coating or polish, but instead tumbled smooth. Well, they ARE coated - they're waxed, which would prevent any paint from adhering. The only way I can use them is to simmer them in a pot on the stove with a dishwasher pod to dissolve the wax, then I have to wash the residue off with warm water and liquid soap. What a pain in the backside. When I'm done, they're dark gray and the blemishes show (I'll work to cover those with paint, but they were hidden by wax). For landscape, as long as this wax isn't toxic, they're probably fine. Also, the are NOT 2-3". They're 4-6" mainly, one was over 7"

      Beautiful rocks but not as many in the bag as I expected. Will need three times the number of bags as I projected so I'll be getting them a little at a time. They look great so far though.

      Very pretty stone for a walkway around pavers. It gets expensive if you have a big area to cover. They look extra classy after a fresh rain shower.

      GRADE A BLACK POLISHED ROCKS - POLISH LASTS ONLY ONE WEEK, ROCKS TURN GREY
      I purchased 15 containers of these "Grade A Black Polished Pebbles." My initial disappointment was that out of the 15 containers combined, I was able to collect at least one container's worth of broken rocks. I should have returned the one container, but decided to use them for a bottom layer of rocks that people wouldn't see. After two weeks of being outdoors, the polish wore off and the rocks turned grey in color. I found that the rocks were not polished at all, they were actually sprayed with a type of mineral oil or the like, to give the appearance that they were polished/shiny. After two weeks of Seattle "sun," the rocks al turned grey. Had I wanted grey rocks, I would have purchased grey rocks. Quite disappointed and recommend not purchasing these. I would have returned them, but had thrown out all of the containers. Alas.

      Black does not last a week
      Was a debacle ordering them because shipping was $10.00 a bag; ship to store was not an option. I have had them in my yard less than a week and already they are gray. Even worse than that, not all of them are gray so it looks peppered. Was looking for a permanent alternative to mulch and did A LOT or work to prepare for these. Really need another 20 bags but not for this price/quality.

        20 pound bag easy to move pebbles about!
        These are nice pebbles, but not uniformly of same quality. All are polished, just that some seem less than others, and sizes are quite random. Having said all this, I used 2 bags to fill pots holding outdoor artificial plants, and am satisfied with the resulting look.

            The rocks are already turning grey. They were beautiful initially, but some are now a dull grey color.

            The estimator tool was extremely inaccurate. Would have chosen a more affordable product since I needed triple the amount.

            Don’t waste your money
            The bags were so small, the description says 1 sq Ft at 3” deep and that’s a lie. I purchased 2 bags and it didn’t even put a dent in the very small space I needed them in. $53 down the drain.

              Nice product but you better want it bad because 20 lb bags don’t go far. I bought 10 bags for a project and it was really nice looking.

              The rocks were actually a little bigger than I expected and the bags weren’t as big. But they were very nice rocks and perfect for my fountain project
