I like the great lakes river rock. I have hauled several hundred tons of the stuff home and used it around the house, barn, pond (pond has a border of hand picked #1s then regular #2s about 3 feet deep) I even top coated my drive with the crushed #8s(no small feat as my drive is .44 miles long)
My Children are always kidding me that I have all my rocks named
Did I mention I did this all with an old Dodge truck and a shovel
