River Rock (2″ To 4″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
River Rock, 2" to 4" Minus
River rock in a 2" to 4" minus size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. This material features stones predominantly between 2 and 4 inches in diameter, with some smaller pieces included ("minus" indicates a mix of sizes below the maximum). The smooth, weathered surfaces are a result of years of water erosion, making river rock both visually appealing and comfortable to handle.
The larger size range provides excellent drainage and erosion control, making it ideal for landscape beds, dry creek beds, and decorative ground cover. It is also commonly used for edging, water features, and as a base for gabion walls. The mixed sizing helps the stones interlock, reducing movement while still allowing water to flow through. While river rock is not suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways, its durability and low maintenance make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
