Drain Rock for Drainage, 2" to 8" Size Range

Drain rock in the 2" to 8" size range is a coarse, natural or crushed stone aggregate specifically selected for its superior drainage properties. This material is typically produced by screening and washing larger stones to remove fines, ensuring clean, free-draining rock ideal for water management applications.

The large size range of 2" to 8" allows for excellent water flow, making this drain rock highly effective at preventing clogs and promoting rapid drainage. It is commonly used in French drains, dry wells, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale stormwater management systems. In residential settings, it is ideal for foundation drainage, landscape swales, and erosion control. While its size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative top layers, it excels in applications where maximum permeability and minimal maintenance are priorities.
