River Rock (1/2″ To 1.5″, Brown)
Applications & Uses
River Rock, 1/2" to 1.5", Brown
River rock in a 1/2" to 1.5" size range is a naturally rounded, smooth stone known for its attractive brown hues. Sourced from riverbeds, this material is shaped and polished by water over time, resulting in a durable aggregate with a distinctive, decorative appearance.
The 1/2" to 1.5" size range offers versatility-small enough for easy handling and coverage, yet large enough to resist displacement by wind or water. Its rounded shape makes it comfortable for barefoot areas and reduces the risk of injury, making it ideal for landscaping, garden beds, pathways, and around pools. The brown color blends seamlessly with natural surroundings, enhancing curb appeal in both residential and commercial projects. While river rock does not compact like crushed stone, it provides excellent drainage and weed suppression, though it may shift under heavy traffic. Overall, this material is valued for its low maintenance, aesthetic appeal, and functional benefits in decorative and drainage applications.
