River Rock in a 6" to 14" Size Range

River rock in the 6" to 14" size range is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and substantial size. Unlike smaller aggregates, these large stones are not crushed but shaped by years of water flow, resulting in a durable and visually appealing material.

The generous 6" to 14" size makes this river rock ideal for applications where both function and aesthetics are important. It is commonly used for erosion control on slopes, decorative dry creek beds, large-scale landscaping features, and as a border for ponds or water gardens. The size helps prevent displacement by water or foot traffic, and the rounded shape reduces the risk of injury, making it suitable for public spaces and residential landscapes. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways, it excels in areas where stability, drainage, and visual impact are priorities.
