5/8" Drain Rock

5/8" drain rock is a versatile, naturally occurring or crushed stone aggregate sized to approximately five-eighths of an inch. This mid-sized stone is commonly produced by screening and washing larger rock to achieve a consistent, clean product free from excess fines and debris.

The 5/8" size strikes a balance between effective drainage and stability, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Its size allows water to flow freely through the aggregate, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion, while still providing enough mass to resist displacement. Typical uses include French drains, foundation backfill, retaining wall drainage, and as a base layer for driveways or walkways. The stone's relatively uniform size ensures reliable drainage performance and easy installation, though it is less suitable for areas requiring tight compaction. Overall, 5/8" drain rock is a practical choice for both residential and commercial drainage solutions.
