River Rock (1.25″)
Applications & Uses
1.25" River Rock
1.25" river rock is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. Its smooth, weathered surface is the result of years of water erosion, making it distinct from crushed or angular aggregates. The 1.25-inch size offers a substantial presence while still being manageable for a variety of landscaping and construction uses.
This size is ideal for decorative ground cover, garden borders, and dry creek beds, providing excellent drainage and a polished, natural look. It is also commonly used in commercial landscaping, around water features, and as a protective layer in French drains. The rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making it suitable for pathways and play areas, though it does not compact well and is not recommended for load-bearing surfaces like driveways. Its low maintenance and resistance to erosion make it a long-lasting choice for both residential and commercial projects.
