Large River Rock

Large river rock is a naturally rounded stone sourced from riverbeds, known for its smooth texture and substantial size. Unlike crushed stone, river rock is shaped by years of water erosion, resulting in a polished, organic appearance that adds a decorative touch to landscaping projects.

The large size of this river rock makes it ideal for applications where stability and visual impact are important. It is commonly used for dry creek beds, erosion control, garden borders, and as accent pieces in both residential and commercial landscapes. Its weight and size help prevent displacement, making it less likely to wash away during heavy rains. While large river rock offers excellent drainage and low maintenance, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction, such as driveways or walkways. Its smooth surface is gentle on bare feet, making it a popular choice for play areas and around pools.
