River Rock (1″ To 3″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 1" to 3" Size Range
River rock in a 1" to 3" size range is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds and stream banks. These stones are shaped and smoothed over time by water, resulting in a polished, attractive appearance. The larger size range of 1" to 3" makes these rocks ideal for decorative and functional landscaping applications.
The substantial size of these river rocks helps with effective drainage and erosion control, making them a popular choice for garden beds, dry creek beds, and around water features. They are also commonly used for edging, pathways, and as a ground cover in both residential and commercial landscapes. The rounded shape is gentle underfoot and less likely to compact, which helps maintain permeability and reduces weed growth. However, due to their size and smoothness, they are not suitable for areas requiring a stable, compacted surface, such as driveways or walkways with heavy foot traffic.
