Drain Rock (1″ To 2″, Leach Rock)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock Leach Rock, 1" to 2"
Drain rock in a 1" to 2" size range, specifically designated as leach rock, is a coarse, durable aggregate commonly produced from crushed stone or natural gravel. The leach rock attribute means this material is selected for its excellent permeability and ability to facilitate water movement, making it ideal for drainage applications.
The larger 1" to 2" size ensures minimal compaction and maximizes void space, allowing water to flow freely through the aggregate. This makes it a preferred choice for use in septic system leach fields, French drains, and other subsurface drainage systems. It is also suitable for use behind retaining walls, in dry wells, and as a base layer for landscape projects where efficient drainage is critical. While its coarse texture and size provide superior drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring a compacted or smooth surface. Overall, this material is valued for its reliability in managing water flow and preventing soil saturation.
