Drain Rock (1″)
Applications & Uses
1" Drain Rock
1" drain rock is a durable, naturally sourced aggregate consisting of stones screened to a uniform 1-inch size. This material is typically produced by mining and washing river rock or crushed stone, ensuring a clean, consistent product free from excess fines and debris.
The 1" size is ideal for promoting excellent drainage while providing stability, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. Its larger particle size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely through the material-perfect for French drains, septic systems, retaining wall backfill, and landscape drainage solutions. Additionally, it can be used as a base layer for driveways or as decorative ground cover in garden beds. The main advantage of this size is its superior drainage capability, though it is not suitable for applications requiring a compacted surface. Overall, 1" drain rock is a reliable, low-maintenance solution for managing water flow and enhancing landscape aesthetics.
