Drain Rock for Drainage, 1" to 3" Size Range

Drain rock in the 1" to 3" size range is a coarse, naturally or mechanically crushed stone specifically selected for its excellent drainage properties. The larger particle size allows water to flow freely through the aggregate, making it ideal for applications where rapid drainage is essential. This material is typically produced from durable rock sources, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

The 1" to 3" size range is particularly effective at preventing soil compaction and minimizing water buildup, which helps reduce the risk of flooding and erosion. Common uses include French drains, septic system leach fields, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale landscape drainage solutions. While its larger size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative top layers, it excels in situations where maximum water movement is required. Both homeowners and contractors rely on this drain rock for its reliability and efficiency in managing water flow.
