River Rock in a 1/2" to 3/4" Size Range

River rock in a 1/2" to 3/4" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. This material is formed over time as water currents polish and shape the stones, resulting in a durable and visually appealing product.

The 1/2" to 3/4" size strikes a balance between ease of handling and effective coverage, making it ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications. Its rounded shape provides excellent drainage, making it a popular choice for garden beds, French drains, and around downspouts. Additionally, this size is comfortable underfoot, making it suitable for pathways, patios, and play areas. While river rock does not compact as tightly as angular stone, its decorative look and low maintenance requirements make it a preferred option for both residential and commercial projects seeking a natural, polished finish.
