Screened River Rock in a 3" Size Range

Screened river rock in a 3" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing. The screening process removes undersized particles and debris, resulting in clean, uniform stones that are ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications.

The 3" size makes these river rocks particularly effective for decorative ground cover, erosion control, and large-scale drainage solutions. Their substantial size helps prevent displacement, making them suitable for high-traffic areas, dry creek beds, and around water features. The rounded, screened stones are easy to handle and provide excellent drainage, though they are not suitable for compacted surfaces or as a base material. This material is favored for its natural appearance, low maintenance, and ability to enhance both residential and commercial landscapes.
