Washed River Rock in a 1.5" Size Range

Washed river rock in a 1.5" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and debris. The washing process enhances its appearance and ensures a cleaner, more consistent product, making it ideal for both decorative and functional uses.

The 1.5" size offers excellent drainage properties while remaining large enough to resist displacement, making it a popular choice for landscape beds, garden borders, and dry creek beds. Its smooth, rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making it suitable for pathways and play areas. In commercial settings, washed river rock is often used for erosion control, around water features, and as a durable ground cover. The main advantage of this material is its low maintenance and attractive, natural look, though its rounded shape means it does not compact well and is not suitable for load-bearing applications like driveways.
