1" River Rock Pebble

1" River Rock in a pebble form is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and streams. These stones are smoothed over time by water, resulting in a uniform, attractive appearance and a comfortable texture underfoot. The 1" size range offers a balanced look-large enough to stay in place, yet small enough for versatile use in landscaping and construction projects.

The pebble attribute means these rocks are less likely to compact tightly, making them ideal for decorative ground cover, garden pathways, and around water features where drainage and aesthetics are important. Their smooth surface is gentle for barefoot areas, such as pool surrounds or play spaces. While not suitable for load-bearing applications like driveways due to their tendency to shift, 1" river rock pebbles excel in erosion control, mulching, and as a low-maintenance alternative to organic mulch. Their natural look complements both residential and commercial landscapes, adding visual interest and durability.
