Drain Rock (Leach Rock)
Applications & Uses
Drain Rock - Leach Rock
Drain rock labeled as "leach rock" is a specialized aggregate designed for optimal water flow and filtration. This material is typically composed of durable, naturally occurring stones that have been screened to remove fines, ensuring a clean, free-draining product. The "leach" attribute indicates that the rock is particularly well-suited for use in leach fields, French drains, and other drainage systems where efficient water movement is critical.
The absence of smaller particles in leach rock prevents clogging and promotes superior drainage, making it ideal for septic system leach fields, retaining wall backfill, and landscape drainage solutions. It is also commonly used in commercial and residential construction for foundation drainage and erosion control. While its excellent drainage properties are a major advantage, leach rock is not intended for compacted surfaces or areas requiring a smooth finish. Its clean, open structure makes it less suitable for pathways or driveways but perfect for any application where water needs to move freely through the aggregate.
