River Rock, 2" to 3" Size Range, Salt & Pepper Color

River rock in a 2" to 3" size range, featuring a distinctive salt & pepper color blend, is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds. These stones are smoothed over time by water, resulting in a polished appearance and a comfortable texture underfoot.

The larger 2" to 3" size makes this river rock ideal for decorative landscaping, erosion control, and dry creek beds, as it resists displacement and provides excellent drainage. Its salt & pepper coloration adds visual interest and complements a variety of outdoor designs. While this size is less suitable for pathways due to its bulk, it excels in garden borders, water features, and as a low-maintenance ground cover. The rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and pets, but may shift under heavy traffic, making it best for non-load-bearing applications.
