What is crushed river rock?

Clean Look. Natural Color.

This is crushed round rock: river rock that's been crushed and screened to between 1/4" and 1/2". It has a very clean look, and the broken faces help it sit tighter than pea gravel.

It's a popular choice for landscape beds, garden paths, patios and around downspouts. With no fines, water drains right through. It won't compact like crushed basalt and can shift some underfoot, so edging helps keep it in place.

River rock questions

Good Questions. Straight Answers.

What is crushed river rock?

It's crushed round rock: river rock that's been run through a crusher and screened to size. It has a very clean look, and the broken faces help it sit tighter than pea gravel.

What's the difference between crushed river rock and pea gravel?

Pea gravel is fully rounded, so it rolls underfoot. Crushed river rock has some broken faces that help it sit tighter, but it still doesn't compact and can shift some on paths.

Does crushed river rock drain well?

Yes. It's screened to remove the fines, so water drains through it easily. That makes it a good choice around downspouts, drip lines and low spots.

What's the difference between crushed river rock and crushed basalt?

Crushed river rock is crushed round rock, so it still has some smooth faces and won't compact. It looks clean and natural, but it can shift. Crushed basalt is fractured on every side, so it locks together and compacts into a firm surface, which is why it's used for driveway gravel and base rock.

Is delivery included in the price?

Yes. Every price includes delivery, with no separate fees. Pricing is set by location, so choose your town to see the delivered price.

Can I use crushed river rock on a driveway?

It's better suited for landscaping and paths. For driveways, 3/4" minus compacts into a firmer surface that holds up to daily traffic.
