River Rock (3″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 3" to 6" Size Range
River rock in the 3" to 6" size range is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds and stream channels. These stones are shaped and smoothed over time by water, resulting in a durable, attractive aggregate with a distinctive, organic appearance. The larger size range makes these rocks particularly effective for both functional and decorative uses.
The substantial 3" to 6" size provides excellent coverage and stability, making this river rock ideal for erosion control, dry creek beds, and landscape borders. It is commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping projects to create natural-looking water features, accent garden beds, or line walkways. The rounded shape is gentle on bare feet and reduces the risk of injury, while the size helps prevent displacement by wind or water. While these stones are not suitable for compacted surfaces or driveways, they excel in drainage applications and as a low-maintenance, visually appealing ground cover.
