Landscape Rock and Drain Rock for Rock Walls
Our rock products provide beauty and strength for your rock walls.
Landscape Rock
Our Landscape Rock, also known as rockery rock, is ideal for the construction of rock walls, retaining walls, and rockeries. You can view landscape projects that use our rock on the Rockery Rock projects page.
Drain Rock
Rock walls should be backed by a drainage system made up of drain rock and a drain pipe to prevent water from building up behind the wall and damaging it. The rule of thumb is that as the height of the wall increases, the size of the drain rock should increase. In other words, a shorter wall can be built with smaller gravel pieces while a taller wall must be built with larger gravel pieces.
Customers typically use Gravel Backfill for Walls, 1½ Drain Rock, 2″ Ballast, or 2″—4″ Quarry Spalls. Consult with an engineer or landscape architect to determine the best option.
Kapowsin Blue Signature Color
Kapowsin Blue is the name for the blue-gray color that is unique to Washington Rock’s crushed rock products. The color is especially pronounced when our products are wet, such as after rainfall.
