J&R Sand & Gravel is proudly family-owned and all of our products are 100% made in the USA – right down to the bags. 💯

We also offer a variety of locally sourced products and use thicker, higher-quality bags to help keep more product where it belongs: in the bag and on your project.

Quality matters from start to finish!

If you could fix ONE thing on your property right now, what would it be and how would you fix it?

We like the idea of using Trap Rock to add a darker contrast against your patio or other stone work. It's a great addition to anyone looking to revamp their outdoor space.

Use nature to help water your home garden. Take a look at this neat use of rock to create a drainage field to disperse water evenly in a raised garden bed.

Would you create something like this for your garden?

This rain-fed raised garden bed turned out to be much simpler to build than it seems.
I constructed a long planter box from basic lumber, lined the interior to make it watertight, and attached it to the home’s downspout so the plants receive water every time it rains.
A layer of gravel at the top improves drainage, while the deeper section below is packed with nutrient-rich soil for growing herbs and vegetables.
