River Rock (1/2″, Pea Gravel)
Applications & Uses
River Rock Pea Gravel in a 1/2" Size Range
River rock pea gravel in a 1/2" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and screened to uniform size. The smooth, small stones are prized for their attractive appearance and comfortable texture underfoot, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
The 1/2" size strikes a balance between stability and drainage-large enough to resist displacement, yet small enough to create a level surface. This makes it ideal for pathways, patios, playgrounds, and decorative ground cover. Its rounded shape ensures excellent drainage and reduces the risk of injury, making it safer for barefoot areas. While pea gravel is not suitable for applications requiring compaction (like driveways), it excels in areas where aesthetics, drainage, and comfort are priorities.
