River Rock (1/2″ To 1″)
Applications & Uses
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, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. This material is created through years of water erosion, which polishes the stones and gives them their signature rounded edges.
The 1/2" to 1" size range strikes a balance between decorative appeal and functional performance. These stones are large enough to provide excellent drainage, making them ideal for use in landscape beds, French drains, and around downspouts. Their smooth, rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making them a popular choice for pathways, play areas, and garden borders. River rock of this size is also commonly used in commercial landscaping for ground cover and erosion control. While the rounded shape means they do not compact as tightly as angular gravel, this characteristic enhances drainage and reduces the risk of weed growth. Overall, river rock in this size range offers a low-maintenance, visually appealing solution for a variety of residential and commercial projects.
