River Rock in a #4 to 3/16" Size Range

River rock in a #4 to 3/16" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. This material is prized for its smooth texture and consistent sizing, achieved through natural weathering and screening processes. The #4 to 3/16" size range offers a versatile blend of small stones, making it suitable for a variety of landscaping and construction applications.

The smaller size of this river rock provides excellent coverage and a stable surface, making it ideal for pathways, garden beds, and decorative ground cover. Its rounded shape ensures comfortable footing, reducing the risk of injury in high-traffic or barefoot areas. Additionally, this size range promotes good drainage, making it a popular choice for French drains, dry creek beds, and erosion control projects. While river rock is not ideal for compacted surfaces like driveways, its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits make it a top choice for both residential and commercial landscaping.
