River Rock (3″ To 5″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 3" to 5" Size Range
River rock in a 3" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and durability. These stones are formed over time as water currents polish and shape them, resulting in a distinctive, attractive appearance.
The larger 3" to 5" size makes this river rock ideal for decorative landscaping, erosion control, and creating dry creek beds or garden borders. Its substantial size helps prevent displacement, making it suitable for high-traffic areas or locations prone to heavy rainfall. Unlike smaller gravel, this size is less likely to compact, allowing for excellent drainage while also serving as a striking visual element. While not recommended for driveways or surfaces requiring compaction, 3" to 5" river rock is a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects seeking a natural, low-maintenance solution.
