River Rock (1/4″, Pea Gravel)
Applications & Uses
River Rock Pea Gravel in 1/4" Size Range
River rock pea gravel in a 1/4" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate, typically sourced from riverbeds and screened to achieve its uniform, small size. The pea gravel attribute refers to its smooth, pebble-like texture and consistent sizing, making it comfortable underfoot and visually appealing for a variety of landscaping and construction projects.
The 1/4" size is ideal for applications where a finer, more compact surface is desired, such as garden pathways, playgrounds, and patio areas. Its rounded shape ensures excellent drainage while minimizing the risk of sharp edges, making it a popular choice for residential walkways and decorative ground cover. In commercial settings, it is often used for pipe bedding, drainage systems, and as a base for pavers. While its smoothness makes it less suitable for load-bearing or compacted surfaces, it excels in areas where comfort, drainage, and aesthetics are priorities.
