Drain Rock (6″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock in a 6" to 12" Size Range
Drain rock in the 6" to 12" size range is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced from durable natural stone through mechanical crushing and screening. This material consists of angular or sub-angular stones, each measuring between six and twelve inches across, making it significantly larger than standard gravel or pea stone.
The substantial size of this drain rock allows for exceptional water flow and minimal compaction, making it ideal for heavy-duty drainage applications. It is frequently used in commercial and residential projects such as French drains, erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale stormwater management systems. Its size prevents clogging and ensures long-term performance in high-volume water movement scenarios. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in structural and drainage roles where stability and permeability are critical.
