They're the same smooth, rounded family — the difference is size: Creek Stone runs 2"–3" for statement borders and dry stream beds, while Riverbed is the smaller everyday river rock, topping out at 1.5". Both share the blue-gray river-stone palette, so they layer together naturally — big creek stone anchoring a dry bed, smaller riverbed filling between. For scale, pea stone and rice stone sit at the small end of the same rounded lineup.
Choosing within the family
| Creek Stone 2"–3" | Dry creek beds, bold edges, accent zones |
| Riverbed 1.5" | Ground cover, swale bottoms, the transition size |
Rounded stone migrates on slopes without edging, so contain the borders. Compare Creek Stone 2"–3" and Riverbed 1.5", and size the bed with the material calculator.
