Smooth rounded river rock, primarily white in color with some tan and grey tones. A great option for those with young children and walkways because they are safe and easy to walk-on.
Pea rock
Smooth texture, usually uniform in size, similar to white river rock in color just a little smaller in size, relatively light weight, and very budget friendly.
Marble chips
Natural elegance, White marble mulch has become very popular here in Central Florida. Marble mulch is simply large pieces of white marble that has been crushed into the size of gravel. It has the appeal of a high end landscape project, when purchased in bulk, it is very affordable.
Cedar bark rock
Gets its name because of their resemblance to natural Cedar Bark, with rich tones of red and brown. A unique decorative stone, with a variety of sizes and depth of color, they are generally dark red and black in color. They are ideal for landscape projects and drainage issues.
Brown river rock:
Decorative brown, gold, and tan colors, round, smooth, and a beautiful compliment to any landscaping. Their refined appearance comes from years of water currents wearing down and polishing the rocks. This water aging process is responsible for the interesting colors and shapes. Some even have the look of precious gems.
