Drainage Stone
The right stone gives water a clear path away from wet, low spots — sold by the cubic yard.
When a low corner of the yard stays soggy after every Florida downpour, the fix is often drainage stone — a clean rock that lets water move through the gaps and flow away instead of pooling. It's the core of a French drain and a lot of simple drainage fixes.
This page covers which stone works, how a French drain goes together, how it pairs with fabric, and how much to order. To talk through your wet spot, call 386-775-8676.
Clean, open stone: Drainage works because water flows through the gaps between rocks, so you want a stone that stays open rather than packing tight. River rock, granite, and washed stone all fit the bill.
French drains: A gravel-filled trench, usually around a perforated pipe, that carries water away from a wet area. The stone keeps the water moving.
Pairs with fabric: Many installs wrap the stone with landscape fabric to slow soil from washing in and clogging the gaps over time.
See our stone and gravel pages for options. Call to confirm the right material for your project.
Drainage stone is sold by the cubic yard. The amount depends on the length, width, and depth of your trench or bed — a long French drain and a small dry well need very different quantities, so measurements help. Call with your numbers and we'll help you estimate.
Pick it up at our DeLand yard or have it delivered across West Volusia. See our delivery info and service area. If a low spot needs building up first, our fill dirt for yard leveling page may help too.
Ask about current delivery options — availability may vary by distance, access, load size, and site conditions.
Drainage projects generally use a clean, angular or rounded stone that lets water move through the gaps between the rocks. River rock, granite, and washed stone all get used, depending on the look and the job. Tell us what you're building and we'll help you pick — call to confirm the right material for your project.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench, usually with a perforated pipe, that gives water an easy path to flow away from a low or wet area. The stone around the pipe keeps the water moving. How it's built depends on your yard — when in doubt, call to confirm.
Many drainage installs pair the stone with landscape fabric to help keep soil from washing into and clogging the gaps over time. Whether and how you use it depends on the project — we're glad to talk it through when you call.
