Sourced directly from Alabama’s rivers, our Alabama Sunset stone offers a captivating blend of colors ranging from soft pinks and warm oranges to subtle blues, grays, and browns. Each naturally tumbled stone features smooth, rounded edges created by centuries of river action, resulting in a sophisticated and harmonious appearance that enhances any landscape design.
Our Alabama Sunset stone is available in three sizes to suit different landscape applications. The small grade (1/2″ to 1″) is perfect for pathways and detailed garden work. Our medium grade (1″ to 2″) provides excellent coverage for general landscaping and water features. The large grade (2″ to 4″) makes a bold statement in dry creek beds and larger water features. Each size maintains the signature coloring and polished wet appearance that makes Alabama Sunset stone so distinctive.
What makes Alabama Sunset stone truly special is its remarkable transformation when wet – the stones develop a polished, almost glazed appearance that amplifies their rich colors and natural beauty. This unique characteristic makes them particularly striking around water features, pools, and in areas that receive regular rainfall.
