Drain Rock (3″ To 1′)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock in a 3" to 1' Size Range
Drain rock in a 3" to 1' size range is a coarse, natural stone aggregate commonly sourced from riverbeds or quarried rock. This material is screened to ensure pieces fall within the specified size range, resulting in a mix of large, irregular stones. The substantial size of these rocks makes them highly effective for applications where maximum drainage and stability are required.
The large size range of 3" to 1' allows for excellent water flow, making this drain rock ideal for use in French drains, erosion control, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage systems. It is also frequently used in commercial landscaping, culvert bedding, and as a base for heavy-duty construction projects. While its size prevents easy compaction, it excels at preventing soil migration and reducing water buildup. However, due to its bulk, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or walkable surface.
