Question 1

What is drainage gravel used for in construction?

Accepted Answer

There are several benefits of using gravel for your drainage. Aside from keeping the water away from your home or building foundation, the use of gravel adds an aesthetic value to your driveway, pathway or yard. Gravel can also be used to direct any water towards ditches since gravel does not compact or degrade with time. Gravel is designed to remain firm and stable without maintenance.

It is always recommended to ask the advice of experts and professionals before you decide to buy drainage gravel. Drainage gravel comes in different shapes and sizes which can affect the stability and effectiveness of your project. For example, areas that regularly experience a heavy flow of water should use large drainage gravel.

The idea here is to prevent the drainage gravel from being compacted to keep the debris on the top layer. This will allow the water to drain and flow through the spaces between the gravel.

Question 2

What are the most common sizes of drainage gravel?

Accepted Answer

Drainage gravel sizes vary depending on your project. For example, french drains require gravel with sizes of 1-inch to 1-and-a-half inches. Generally, it is best to aim for a gravel size from half-an-inch to at least 1-inch for your drains. However, this may change depending on the size of the project. Larger stones are usually placed as the base and coarser sand as the top layer and filler. This sand does not clump or log, making it an ideal top layer.
