About drainage stone
Drainage stone is washed, angular clear stone with no fines, so water moves through it freely. It's the standard fill around perforated pipe.
Clear stone sizes depend on what the local quarries and yards have in stock. Tell us the application — drainage, weeping tile, base — and we'll confirm the size when we quote.
Common uses for drainage stone
- French drains and trench drains
- Weeping tile and foundation drainage
- Dry wells
- Sump discharge areas
- Backfill where free drainage matters
Drainage Stone for homeowners and contractors
Small Load Co. delivers drainage stone to residential properties and to active jobsites. Homeowners generally want a single manageable pile placed somewhere sensible; contractors generally want the material on site without sending someone to the supplier.
- Homeowners solving basement or yard water issues
- Contractors on drainage repairs
Typical quantities
- A short French drain: often 1–2 cubic yards
- A dry well: often 1–3 cubic yards
Delivery considerations
- Pair clear stone with filter fabric so soil doesn't clog the voids.
- Clear stone is heavy; weight limits the load size.
Is drainage stone a good fit for a small load?
Yes — drainage stone is one of the materials small-load delivery exists for. If your project needs less than a full truckload, or your driveway can't take a full-size truck, a small load is usually the practical option.
How much drainage stone will you need?
Measure the length, width and depth of the area you're covering, then convert to cubic yards before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as a small load?
- A small load is anything under 4 tons. In practice that covers most residential and small-jobsite orders: a few cubic yards of bulk material, or a manageable stack of eligible building materials. Because weight is the limit, dense materials such as wet gravel or sand reach 4 tons in fewer yards than light materials such as mulch.
- Do you remove junk or haul away debris?
- No. Small Load Co. is a delivery service, not a junk removal company. We bring materials to your property or jobsite.
