River Rock (1/4″ To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 1/4" to 3/8" Size Range
River rock in a 1/4" to 3/8" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and attractive appearance. This material is produced through natural weathering and water erosion, resulting in stones with gentle edges and a consistent, small size.
The 1/4" to 3/8" size makes this river rock ideal for applications where a refined, decorative look is desired, such as garden pathways, landscape beds, and around water features. Its small, rounded profile is comfortable underfoot, making it a popular choice for play areas and patios. Additionally, this size offers excellent drainage properties, making it suitable for use in French drains and as a base layer for pavers. While its smoothness prevents tight compaction-less ideal for load-bearing surfaces-it excels in aesthetic and drainage-focused projects.
