River Rock (1″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 1" to 6" Size Range
River rock in a 1" to 6" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and alluvial deposits. These stones are shaped and smoothed by years of water flow, resulting in a durable, attractive material with a variety of natural colors and textures. The larger size range makes this river rock ideal for both functional and decorative uses.
The 1" to 6" sizing offers excellent versatility: smaller stones fill gaps for stability, while larger pieces provide visual interest and effective coverage. This size is particularly valued for landscape edging, dry creek beds, erosion control, and as a ground cover in gardens and around water features. In commercial settings, it's often used for decorative accents, drainage swales, and retaining wall backfill. The rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and less likely to compact, promoting good drainage but making it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces like driveways. Overall, river rock in this size range is prized for its natural beauty, low maintenance, and ability to enhance both residential and commercial landscapes.
