1/2" Brown River Rock

1/2" brown river rock is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, prized for its smooth texture and earthy brown tones. The 1/2" size offers a balanced appearance-small enough for detailed landscaping work, yet large enough to resist displacement from wind or rain.

This size and color combination is ideal for decorative ground cover, garden pathways, and accent borders in both residential and commercial landscapes. Its rounded shape makes it comfortable for barefoot areas and safe for playgrounds, while the natural brown hue blends seamlessly with outdoor environments. River rock is also commonly used for drainage solutions, as its shape and size promote excellent water flow without compacting. While it is not suitable for load-bearing applications or areas requiring compaction, its low maintenance and attractive appearance make it a popular choice for enhancing curb appeal and creating inviting outdoor spaces.
