Drain Rock (2″, Drainage)
Applications & Uses
2" Drain Rock for Superior Drainage
2" drain rock is a coarse, natural stone aggregate specifically selected for its excellent drainage properties. Produced by screening and washing larger stones, this material features angular edges and a consistent 2-inch size, which prevents compaction and allows water to flow freely through the voids between rocks.
This size and attribute combination is ideal for applications where efficient water movement is critical. The large 2" stones resist clogging and are less likely to shift, making them perfect for French drains, septic system leach fields, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage swales. In residential settings, 2" drain rock is also used as a base layer for driveways or as decorative ground cover in areas where drainage is a concern.
Pros include superior drainage performance, reduced risk of flooding, and minimal maintenance. However, the larger size makes it unsuitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface. Overall, 2" drain rock is a reliable choice for both DIYers and contractors seeking effective drainage solutions in landscaping and construction projects.
