#3 Stone - Round River Rock (1" to 2")

#3 stone in a 1" to 2" size range, featuring a round, river rock attribute, is a naturally smoothed aggregate sourced from riverbeds. Unlike crushed stone, these rocks are shaped by water over time, resulting in a rounded profile that is gentle underfoot and visually appealing.

The 1" to 2" size makes this material ideal for applications where both drainage and aesthetics are important. Its rounded shape allows water to flow freely, making it a top choice for French drains, dry creek beds, and landscape edging. In residential settings, it's commonly used for decorative ground cover, garden borders, and around water features. Commercially, it's valued for erosion control and as a base for retaining walls. While its smoothness enhances safety and appearance, it does not compact well, so it's not recommended for load-bearing surfaces like driveways. Overall, round river rock #3 stone offers excellent drainage, low maintenance, and a natural look for landscaping and drainage projects.
