River Rock
A family tradition spanning over 60 years. Serving Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, Floyd, Polk, Gordon and surrounding counties.
River Rock is a premium landscaping stone highly valued for its natural beauty, smooth texture, and versatility in both aesthetic design and functional drainage applications. Unlike angular, crushed stone, River Rock is characterized by its rounded, smooth edges, a result of natural weathering and transport by water over time. These beautiful stones, which come in a variety of natural colors and sizes, are a top choice for homeowners and designers across North Georgia and Metro Atlanta. At Kevin Westmoreland Trucking, we ensure the reliable, high-capacity delivery of this popular stone, supporting your design vision with the integrity and dependability of our 60-year family tradition.
The Aesthetic and Functional Appeal
River Rock offers a unique combination of visual appeal and practical benefit, making it a staple material in modern landscape architecture:
- Natural Beauty: The smooth, rounded surfaces and varied color palette—often including shades of gray, tan, brown, and white—provide a soft, organic look that complements any planting or building style. It creates a high-end, finished appearance compared to standard mulch or gravel.
- Excellent Drainage: Due to its rounded shape, River Rock creates large, consistent voids when piled. This results in superior permeability, allowing water to percolate easily through the material and into the ground, reducing surface runoff and pooling.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike mulch, River Rock does not decompose, fade, or require yearly replacement. It holds its position well and helps suppress weed growth when laid over a landscape fabric, saving time and maintenance costs.

Decorative Landscaping Features
The primary use of River Rock is to enhance landscape aesthetics. It is widely used to:
- Create Dry Creek Beds: These popular features are used to manage stormwater while mimicking natural creek flow, providing an attractive solution for drainage areas.
- Accent Borders: It is used to define the edges of planting beds, walkways, and patios, providing a clean contrast against foliage and lawn.
- Water Features: The smooth stones are perfect for surrounding ponds, waterfalls, and fountains, creating a seamless, natural transition to water.
Functional Drainage Solutions
Beyond aesthetics, River Rock is highly effective in functional areas:
- Runoff Management: It is placed beneath gutter downspouts to prevent soil erosion and splashback, efficiently dispersing water while beautifying the area.
- Trench Drains: Used to line and fill French drains or perimeter drains, its high permeability ensures efficient collection and diversion of subsurface water away from foundations.
Ground Cover
River Rock is an excellent, durable, and clean ground cover alternative to mulch in areas where plant growth is minimal or maintenance is difficult.
