River stone

Beautiful and versatile river stone

Stornoway’s Mersey Lea is a glacial river stone washed down from the mountains of Tasmania’s north to an old flood plain in northern Tasmania. The stone is extracted from this flood plain after the topsoil is removed. Once the mining process is completed, the land is fully rehabilitated with the removed topsoil so it can continue to be used as farm land.

Our river stone is available in a variety of sizes from small grade through to large rocks. They make a beautiful addition to any garden and are particularly suited to water features, which brings out the deep brown colouring in the rocks.

5-10mm river stone

Stornoway’s 5-10mm river stone is ideal for household applications such as planters, smaller garden beds and aquarium use.

The finer grade of stone and the deep, rich colouring also makes it perfect for concrete drive and path aggregate.

10-20mm river stone

The 10-20mm river stone can be used for landscaping, planters and decorative finishes such as water features.

The stone’s colours include caramel, lighter quartz and deep rich chocolate tones that glow when wet

20-40mm river stone
The 20-40mm river stone is rich in colour with variations from light quartz through to rich chocolate browns.

The stone is perfect for landscaping (particularly in commercial buildings as an alternative to wood based mulches), pots and planters and decorative use such as water features.

100mm river stone
The largest grade of our river stone range is ideal for water courses through a property, large rock gardens and decorative spoon drains.
