#1 Round Stone (1.5" to 3.5")

#1 round stone in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range is a large, naturally rounded aggregate commonly sourced from riverbeds or glacial deposits. Unlike crushed stone, its smooth, rounded surfaces are the result of years of natural weathering and water movement, making it distinct in both appearance and function.

The larger size and rounded shape of this material provide excellent drainage, making it ideal for use in French drains, septic system fields, and erosion control projects. Its smooth texture also makes it a popular choice for decorative landscaping, dry creek beds, and as a base for playgrounds where safety and aesthetics are important. While its size and shape prevent it from compacting tightly-making it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces like driveways-it excels in applications where water flow and visual appeal are priorities.
