1" Black Star Gravel

1 Inch Black Star Gravel in Austin, TX

1" Black Star Gravel is a bold, premium Texas basalt stone with a deep charcoal to black color. The larger 1-inch size creates a more dramatic, textured look compared to 5/8", making it ideal for statement landscaping and areas that need heavier coverage.

Its angular shape allows it to lock together better than round rock, providing stability for decorative and functional applications.

• Rake occasionally to maintain even coverage.
• Add additional gravel over time if minor settling occurs.
• Install metal or stone edging to keep gravel contained.
• Use a leaf blower to remove debris and maintain clean appearance.

Black Star is low maintenance and holds its color naturally over time.
