Drain Rock (3/4″, Round)
Applications & Uses
3/4" Round Drain Rock
3/4" round drain rock is a naturally rounded aggregate, typically sourced from riverbeds or screened from alluvial deposits. Unlike crushed stone, its smooth, rounded shape is achieved through natural weathering and tumbling, resulting in minimal sharp edges and a uniform appearance.
The 3/4" size strikes a balance between effective drainage and stability, making it ideal for applications where water flow is essential but material migration needs to be minimized. The round attribute enhances drainage by creating larger voids between stones, reducing the risk of clogging and promoting rapid water movement. This makes it a preferred choice for French drains, dry creek beds, septic system leach fields, and behind retaining walls. Additionally, its smooth texture is safer for bare feet, making it suitable for decorative landscaping, playgrounds, and pathways. While round drain rock does not compact as tightly as angular alternatives, its superior drainage and clean appearance make it a versatile solution for both residential and commercial projects.
