River Rock in a 1/2" to 1" Size Range

River rock in a 1/2" to 1" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. Its smooth, polished appearance is the result of years of water erosion, making it both visually appealing and comfortable to handle. This size range offers a versatile balance-large enough to stay in place, yet small enough for easy spreading and coverage.

The 1/2" to 1" size is ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications. It is commonly used for decorative ground cover, garden borders, and pathways, providing a natural look that complements both residential and commercial projects. Its rounded shape makes it safer for bare feet and less likely to compact, which promotes excellent drainage-perfect for use in French drains, dry creek beds, and around water features. While its smoothness and size make it less suitable for load-bearing or high-traffic surfaces, river rock in this range excels in aesthetic and drainage-focused applications.
