River Rock, Blended Product, 8" to 12" Size Range

River rock in an 8" to 12" 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 consistent mix of large, smooth stones, making it ideal for projects that require both visual appeal and functional performance.

The substantial 8" to 12" size ensures excellent durability and stability, especially in high-flow drainage applications, erosion control, and large-scale landscaping. The blended nature of the product means a variety of stone shapes and subtle color variations, enhancing both structural integrity and aesthetic value. Common uses include lining drainage swales, constructing dry creek beds, reinforcing embankments, and creating decorative borders in commercial and residential landscapes. While the large size offers superior drainage and resists displacement, it is less suitable for areas requiring compaction or walkability. Overall, this river rock blend is a top choice for robust, attractive, and low-maintenance installations.
