Drain Rock (3″ To 9″, Erosion)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock for Erosion Control, 3" to 9" Size Range
Drain rock in the 3" to 9" size range is a coarse, durable aggregate specifically selected for its effectiveness in erosion control applications. Produced from natural stone, this material is screened and sorted to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for stabilizing slopes, shorelines, and drainage channels where soil displacement is a concern.
The large, irregular pieces in this size range create a stable barrier that resists movement from water flow, helping to prevent soil erosion and washouts. This makes it a preferred choice for commercial and residential projects such as riprap for creek beds, retaining wall backfill, culvert protection, and large-scale drainage solutions. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, its superior performance in high-flow or high-impact areas is a significant advantage. Note that installation may require heavy equipment due to the rock's size.
