Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2")

Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2") Decorative Stone

Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2") is a natural decorative stone sourced from Colorado quarries. This aggregate, also known as Colorado Sunrise rock or Colorado Sunrise landscape stone, consists of hard, durable rock fragments. Each piece measures between 1 inch and 2 1/2 inches in nominal diameter. The stone is washed and screened, free from excessive fines and debris, and features a blend of pink, rose, gold, gray, and white hues. The rounded to sub-angular shapes provide a textured, earthy appearance that enhances garden beds and landscaping features.

• Particle size ranges from 1" to 2 1/2" nominal diameter
• Rounded to sub-angular shapes, typically granite-based and durable
• Resists fading and weathering in outdoor environments
• Washed and screened for a clean, consistent product

Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2") is sold by weight, such as by the ton, cubic yard, or bag. The color mix and size consistency may vary slightly by batch and source.

Limitations and Incorrect Applications

Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2") is not suitable for driveways or areas with regular vehicle traffic. It is not intended for use as structural fill, base material, or playground surfacing. This stone is not recommended for high-traffic walkways that require ADA compliance or for use as a concrete aggregate or construction backfill. It should not be used in areas where small, compacted aggregates are required.

Do not use this stone for paths or surfaces that will experience regular foot traffic. Its larger size and rounded shape make it less stable and less comfortable for walking compared to finer gravels or crushed stone.

Comparison with Other Materials

Installation and Handling

When installing Colorado Sunrise stone, use a well-prepared, compacted base to reduce settling. Landscape fabric beneath the stone helps prevent weed growth and stabilizes the aggregate. For drainage applications, ensure proper slope and depth. The stone should be applied in layers at least 2 to 3 inches deep for effective soil coverage and weed suppression. Avoid mixing with finer aggregates, as this can hinder drainage. Periodically check and replenish the stone if settling or movement occurs.

Please note that size variation of up to 5% and some fines may occur in each batch. Colorado Sunrise (1 - 2 1/2") is not small and should not be used without proper site preparation or in applications requiring compacted, walkable surfaces.
