Gravel & Pea Stone
3/4″ Washed Pebble (Shawangunk)
Also known as: Shawangunk Pebble, Washed River Pebble, 3/4" Round Pebble, Hudson Valley Round Stone
3/4" Washed Pebble (Shawangunk) is a naturally rounded, water-worn stone in the 3/4" size range, sourced here in the Hudson Valley. It carries a mix of earthy tones - grays, browns, and tans - and it's washed clean of dust and fines, so it looks finished in a garden bed and drains freely in a French drain. It's the stone you reach for when you want something that reads decorative but still does real work.
Applications
- Landscaping & Garden Beds
- Decorative Borders & Dry Creek Beds
- Pathways & Walkways
- Drainage & French Drains
- Water Features & Ponds
- Ground Cover
Why It Works
Rounded and washed, so it drains and finishes clean.
The rounded profile is what makes this pebble work. Smooth, water-worn faces don’t lock together the way crushed stone does, so water moves through it freely instead of pooling. That same loose, rolling character is what gives it a clean, settled look in a bed or along a path.
It’s washed before it leaves the yard, so there are no fines or dust to cloud a water feature, muddy a planting bed, or clog a drain. The earthy Hudson Valley tones hold up outdoors and don’t fade to a flat gray the way some imported stone does. Decorative where you want the look, functional where you need the flow.
