River rock is very useful for a wide variety of landscaping applications, from erosion control to decoration.

- Large river rocks help prevent soil erosion on slopes, shorelines, and drainage areas by stabilizing the ground and slowing water runoff.
- These rocks are ideal for creating decorative dry creek beds that enhance landscaping while improving drainage and preventing water accumulation.
- Use large river rock to define garden beds, pathways, or driveways, adding a natural, polished look while keeping soil and mulch in place.
- Large river rocks add a natural, aesthetic touch to ponds, waterfalls, and fountains while helping to anchor liners and provide a habitat for aquatic life.
