Washed River Rock

Washed river rock is a naturally rounded aggregate sourced from riverbeds and thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and debris. The washing process enhances its appearance and ensures a cleaner, more consistent product, making it ideal for both decorative and functional uses.

The smooth, rounded surfaces of washed river rock make it comfortable for barefoot areas and safe for playgrounds, while its clean finish reduces maintenance and dust in landscaping applications. Commonly used for garden beds, pathways, water features, and as a ground cover, washed river rock also provides excellent drainage, making it suitable for French drains and erosion control. Its natural look complements a variety of residential and commercial landscapes, though it is less suitable for areas requiring compaction, such as under pavers.
