River Rock (2″ To 5″, Salt & Pepper)
Applications & Uses
River Rock, 2" to 5" Size Range, Salt & Pepper Color
River rock in a 2" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate known for its smooth texture and distinctive "salt & pepper" coloration-a blend of light and dark tones that adds visual interest to any landscape. Sourced from riverbeds, these stones are shaped and polished by water over time, resulting in a durable, attractive material.
The larger 2" to 5" size makes this river rock ideal for decorative ground cover, dry creek beds, erosion control, and accent borders in both residential and commercial settings. Its substantial size helps prevent displacement, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and slopes. The smooth, rounded surfaces are safer for bare feet and less likely to cause injury compared to angular stone. While not suitable for compacted base layers, this river rock excels in drainage applications and as a low-maintenance, weed-suppressing mulch alternative. The salt & pepper color palette complements a wide range of landscape designs, offering both functionality and curb appeal.
