Red River Rock, 3" to 5"

Red river rock in a 3" to 5" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds, prized for its distinctive red hue and smooth, weathered appearance. The large, uniform sizing makes these stones ideal for decorative landscaping, erosion control, and water features, where their bold color and substantial presence create visual impact.

The 3" to 5" size ensures excellent drainage and stability, making this river rock a popular choice for dry creek beds, garden borders, and around ponds or fountains. Its rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and less likely to compact, which helps maintain permeability in landscape applications. While not suitable for driveways or areas requiring a compacted base, red river rock excels in decorative and functional roles, adding both beauty and durability to residential and commercial outdoor spaces.
