River Rock (1/2″, Round)
Applications & Uses
1/2" Round River Rock
1/2" round river rock is a naturally smooth, water-worn aggregate sourced from riverbeds and alluvial deposits. Its rounded shape is achieved through years of natural tumbling, resulting in a pebble-like texture that is gentle underfoot and visually appealing.
The 1/2" size offers a balanced look-small enough for detailed landscaping work, yet large enough to resist being easily displaced by rain or foot traffic. The round attribute ensures excellent drainage, making it ideal for use in French drains, dry creek beds, and around plant beds to prevent soil erosion. It is also a popular choice for decorative ground cover, pathways, and play areas, as the smooth surface is safer for children and pets.
Pros include low maintenance, natural aesthetics, and improved drainage. However, the round shape makes it less suitable for applications requiring compaction, such as under pavers. Overall, 1/2" round river rock is a versatile, attractive solution for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
