River Rock (3″ To 8″)
Applications & Uses
River Rock in a 3" to 8" Size Range
River rock in the 3" to 8" size range is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds and stream banks. These stones are shaped and smoothed over time by water flow, resulting in a polished, attractive appearance. The large size range makes this material ideal for projects where both visual impact and functional performance are important.
The substantial size of these river rocks provides excellent erosion control and is highly effective for stabilizing slopes, lining drainage ditches, and creating dry creek beds. In landscaping, they are commonly used for decorative borders, water features, and as ground cover in garden beds. Their rounded shape makes them safer for foot traffic compared to angular stones, but their size means they are not suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways. River rock in this size range is low-maintenance, durable, and adds a natural, elegant look to both residential and commercial outdoor spaces.
