Drain Rock (3/4″ To 1.5″, Round)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock - Round, 3/4" to 1.5"
Drain rock in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range with a round attribute is a naturally occurring or mechanically tumbled aggregate, prized for its smooth, rounded edges. Unlike angular stone, round drain rock is less likely to compact, allowing water to flow freely through the spaces between stones. This makes it an excellent choice for drainage applications where efficient water movement is essential.
The 3/4" to 1.5" size range strikes a balance between stability and permeability, making it ideal for French drains, dry creek beds, and around perforated drain pipes. It is also commonly used as a base for retaining wall backfill, in landscaping for decorative ground cover, and in commercial stormwater management systems. The rounded shape reduces the risk of puncturing landscape fabric and is gentler underfoot, but it may shift more easily than angular alternatives, making it less suitable for load-bearing surfaces. Overall, round drain rock in this size range is valued for its superior drainage, clean appearance, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
