River Rock

5.010 reviews

Naturally tumbled river stones with smooth, rounded edges and beautiful color variation. Adds a natural, polished look to landscapes, dry creek beds, and water features.

River rock is smooth, rounded stone in the fist-sized range — decorative in a dry riverbed or around a foundation, not something you compact.

Also called: Mexican beach pebble, rounded landscape stone, creek rock.

Beautiful rock, better than pictured. Nina was very proactive and helpful in the coordination of delivery of 5 tons of rock to ensure that expectations were set correctly and exceeded. Great communicator! We were able to fill the whole front of our house flower buds with beautiful river rock and all around the back of our pool cage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.
We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.
Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.
The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.
Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.
Rounded river rock can shift more than angular stone, especially on slopes or pathways. Edging or borders help keep it contained — and a layer of compacted fines underneath gives a more stable surface for foot traffic.
Yes! Rounded river gravel and pea gravel have smooth edges that are safe for bare feet, children's play areas, and pet runs. It's one of the most popular choices for family-friendly landscaping.
