Drain Rock - Pea Gravel, Round, 1.5" to 3.5"

Drain rock in a 1.5" to 3.5" size range, featuring a pea gravel, round profile, is a versatile aggregate ideal for both residential and commercial projects. This material consists of naturally rounded stones, typically produced through river mining or mechanical tumbling, resulting in smooth, uniform surfaces that are gentle underfoot and visually appealing.

The larger 1.5" to 3.5" size enhances drainage capabilities, making it an excellent choice for French drains, dry creek beds, and erosion control. The round shape prevents compaction, ensuring water flows freely through the aggregate, which is crucial for effective drainage and reducing the risk of flooding. Common uses include landscaping accents, playground surfacing, and as a base layer for retaining walls or septic systems. While its non-angular form means it does not lock tightly for load-bearing surfaces, it excels in applications where drainage and aesthetics are priorities.
