Would RecommendI hate every Spring running out and re-doing mulch. The wind blows it everywhere - animals dig in it. In the Fall leaves get captured and it's a pain to deal with. Constant replacement with insects and mold. So, I did this instead and I'm glad I did. I purchased a couple of pallets that were wrapped up. 63 bags in a pallet. It's worth it. Place down weed control film 1st, pin it in place - lay down the stone. Do it right and you'll have a great look.
Really great and smooth
Really great rocks! They are round and authentic. When picking the bag up, it feels like there are rocks in it and you can also see there are rocks in the bag because the bag is clear. So that is also good. Highly recommend. Especially if you plan to place the rocks somewhere on your property to give your property a 'rock' look.
Beautiful Rocks
Would RecommendThese ruver rocks make your landscape stand out wirh or without plants. Have used thwm for the past 7 years.
Price better than most other stores!

Good coverage, too heavy for the leaf blower
Would RecommendHard scaping an area around our Spa
These are quite decorative gravels.
Would RecommendI put this gravel around my fruit trees and it worked great and I still have about 40 more fruit trees, where I will also purchase the matching gravel at Lowe’s. I have a small orchard.
Subtle bag color affects color of rocks
Would Not RecommendDid not like the extreme color shift in the rocks based on the subtle color difference in the bags

Don't get landscape stuff delivered
Would Not RecommendIf you must shop at Lowes, pick out and pick up the items yourself. Lowes it going to send you the crappiest and most damaged stuff they have. One fifth of the bags delivered were broken, so plan on wasting 20% of your purchase at least. This was Lowes, by the way, as the broken bags were in a pile wrapped in plastic -- not the delivery service
Don't ever buy delivery from Lowes
Would Not RecommendThis is the final straw! I will never order anything from Lowes again nor set foot in your store. I had some landscaping materials delivered and your folks picked the most damaged bags of materials with black goop dripping off and footprints. Lowes is going to have to come back and pick up this nasty stuff from my driveway because I'm not touching it. DONT BUY FROM LOWES.
