River Rock, 3" to 5" Size Range, Salt & Pepper Color

River rock in a 3" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded stone, typically sourced from riverbeds and stream banks. The distinctive salt & pepper color blend-featuring a mix of light and dark grays-adds a striking, natural aesthetic to any landscape or construction project.

The larger 3" to 5" size makes this river rock ideal for decorative ground cover, dry creek beds, erosion control, and accenting water features. Its smooth, rounded surfaces are gentle underfoot and less likely to compact, promoting excellent drainage and reducing the risk of weed growth. While its size and shape make it less suitable for driveways or areas requiring a stable, compacted base, it excels in landscaping applications where visual appeal and low maintenance are priorities. This material is popular for both residential gardens and commercial properties seeking a durable, attractive solution for high-impact areas.
