River Rock in a 2" to 5" Size Range

River rock in a 2" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. These stones are smoothed over time by water flow, resulting in a polished, attractive appearance. The larger size range makes this material ideal for projects where both aesthetics and function are important.

The 2" to 5" size provides excellent coverage and stability, making it a popular choice for decorative landscaping, dry creek beds, erosion control, and garden borders. Its substantial size helps prevent displacement, even in high-traffic or high-flow areas, while the smooth, rounded surfaces are safer for bare feet and less likely to cause injury. River rock of this size is less suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways but excels in drainage applications and as a low-maintenance ground cover. Its natural look enhances curb appeal and blends seamlessly with outdoor environments.
