River Rock (1/2″ To 1″ Minus, Blended Product)

River Rock, Blended Product, 1/2" to 1" Minus

River rock in a 1/2" to 1" minus size range, offered as a blended product, is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and screened to include stones up to 1" in diameter, with smaller pieces and fines mixed in. The blending process ensures a mix of sizes, which enhances compaction and stability compared to uniform river rock.

This size and blend make it ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications. It is commonly used for garden beds, pathways, decorative ground cover, and drainage solutions. The smaller particles fill gaps between larger stones, reducing movement and providing a more stable surface, while still allowing for adequate drainage. The natural, smooth texture is gentle underfoot, making it suitable for walkways and play areas. One consideration is that the presence of fines may reduce drainage efficiency compared to washed or uniformly sized river rock, but it improves compaction and weed suppression. This versatile product is favored for both residential and commercial projects seeking a balance of aesthetics, function, and ease of installation.
