River Rock (Oversize)
Applications & Uses
Oversize River Rock
Oversize river rock is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and substantial size. Unlike standard gravel or crushed stone, these rocks are larger and retain their natural shape, making them both functional and visually appealing.
The oversize attribute means these stones are significantly larger than typical river rock, which enhances their ability to control erosion and stabilize slopes. Their size also makes them ideal for decorative landscaping, dry creek beds, and water features, where a bold, natural look is desired. Oversize river rock is commonly used in commercial and residential projects for accent borders, retaining wall backfill, and as a durable ground cover that resists displacement. While their weight and size make them less suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways, they excel in applications where drainage, aesthetics, and low maintenance are priorities.
