River Rock (Small)
Applications & Uses
Small River Rock
Small river rock is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and streams. Its smooth texture and consistent sizing result from years of water erosion, making it distinct from crushed stone. The small size range typically includes stones between 1/4" and 1", which are easy to handle and spread.
This size is ideal for decorative landscaping, garden pathways, and as a ground cover around plants and trees. The rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making it a popular choice for play areas and walkways. Small river rock also provides excellent drainage, making it suitable for use in French drains, dry creek beds, and around downspouts. While it does not compact as firmly as angular gravel, its aesthetic appeal and versatility make it a favorite for both residential and commercial projects.
