River Rock, Blended Product, 5" to 8"

River rock in a 5" to 8" size range, offered as a blended product, is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and stream deposits. This material is carefully screened and blended to provide a mix of sizes within the specified range, resulting in a visually appealing and functional stone product.

The large, blended sizing makes this river rock ideal for decorative landscaping, erosion control, and water feature applications. The variation in stone size enhances natural aesthetics and provides excellent coverage, while the smooth, rounded surfaces are gentle on bare feet and safe for use around play areas. Common uses include dry creek beds, garden borders, retaining wall backfill, and commercial landscape installations. While the larger size offers superior drainage and stability, it is less suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways. Overall, this blended river rock is valued for its durability, low maintenance, and ability to create striking, natural-looking outdoor spaces.
