Drain Rock: Durable Aggregate for Effective Water Management

Drain rock is a clean-washed crushed stone designed with drainage performance in mind. Its uniform shape and size allows water to percolate through efficiently while controlling erosion, stabilizing sediment, and preventing clogging.

Physical Properties

Our drain rock is typically 3/4 inch in diameter with angular faces that interlock for stability. It comes from crushed granite, trap rock, or quartzite chosen for hardness and durability. This aggregate resists weathering, crumbling, and breaking down for long-lasting drainage solutions.

Common Applications

Drain rock’s primary purpose is facilitating proper water flow and storage across projects like:

• French Drains & Trench Drains
• Retaining Wall Drainage Systems
• Culvert & Pipe Backfill
• Underground Downspout Drainage
• Dry Creek Beds & Swales
• Stormwater Retention Basins

Key Advantages

Using drain rock for subsurface water solutions provides distinct benefits like:

• Efficient Water Movement
• Erosion Control & Sediment Stabilization
• Clog-Resistant Void Spaces
• Long-Lasting Durability
• Easy Installation & Maintenance
• Natural Neutral Appearance

Drain rock’s small, uniformly-shaped profile works in tandem with landscape fabrics and perforated piping to create lasting drainage systems that manage runoff and protect properties from pooling or erosion concerns.

Whether for new drainage installations or refurbishing aging water management infrastructure, drain rock offers the reliable aggregate properties required for successful commercial, municipal, and residential projects safeguarding properties from water damage.
