Choose bold, natural stone for landscaping, drainage, and erosion control.
Large river rock works well when smaller gravel would get lost in the landscape. Its size makes it a noticeable feature, while the rounded edges and natural coloring give outdoor spaces a less formal look.
At Todco, we offer large Tennessee river rock measuring approximately 6 to 14 inches. These substantial stones come in a mix of natural tones and can be used alone or alongside plants, mulch, and smaller rock.
Large river rock is a practical option for several types of projects, including:
- Creating dry creek beds
- Adding interest around ponds or water features
- Defining the edges of landscape beds
- Accenting retaining walls and sloped areas
- Filling drainage swales
- Helping control erosion
- Adding a natural-looking focal point
Before purchasing the stone, think about where it will go and how much space it needs to cover. Unlike small gravel, large river rock isn’t typically used to create an even layer across an entire bed. Individual stones can be arranged where they’ll provide the most visual or practical benefit.
The weight and irregular shape of these rocks can also help them remain in place better than lightweight landscaping materials. However, the area should still be properly prepared, especially when the stone will be placed on a slope or used where water regularly flows.
