Red River Rock, 1" to 3"

Red river rock in a 1" to 3" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, prized for its smooth texture and distinctive red coloration. The stones are carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing, making them ideal for both decorative and functional landscaping applications.

The 1" to 3" size offers excellent coverage and visual impact, while the rounded shape ensures safety for bare feet and reduces the risk of injury compared to angular alternatives. This size is particularly effective for erosion control, dry creek beds, garden borders, and as a striking accent in flower beds or around water features. Red river rock is also commonly used in commercial landscapes for its durability and low maintenance. While its smooth surface makes it less suitable for areas requiring compaction, it excels in drainage and decorative roles, adding lasting color and natural beauty to any project.
