#2 Stone - Round River Rock (1.5" to 2.5")

#2 stone in a 1.5" to 2.5" size range, featuring a round river rock attribute, is a naturally smooth aggregate sourced from riverbeds. Its rounded shape is the result of years of water erosion, which polishes the stones and removes sharp edges. This makes it distinct from angular crushed stone, offering a more decorative and comfortable finish.

The larger 1.5" to 2.5" size provides excellent drainage, making this material ideal for use in French drains, dry creek beds, and erosion control projects. Its smooth, rounded surface is also popular for landscaping applications such as garden borders, pathways, and decorative ground cover, where a natural aesthetic is desired. Additionally, round river rock is often used in commercial settings for stormwater management and around culverts.

Pros of this material include its attractive appearance, minimal dust, and superior drainage properties. However, its round shape makes it difficult to compact, so it is not recommended for load-bearing surfaces like driveways or patios. Overall, #2 round river rock is a versatile choice for both functional and decorative outdoor projects.
