Do French Drains Need Gravel?
Gravel serves several important functions in a French drain system.ย
- First, it acts as a filter for the water that passes through it. This helps keep sediment and debris out of the pipe.ย
- Second, the gravel provides additional drainage capacity by increasing the surface area over which water can flow.ย
- Third, it helps protect the pipe from damage due to roots or other debris getting stuck in it.ย
- Finally, gravel is often used as an effective way to reduce noise generated by running water in a drainpipe.
What Types Of Gravel Are Used For French Drains?
The type of gravel used in a French drain depends on the application. For most residential applications, clean crushed stone with particle sizes ranging from 3/8 inches to 2 inches is ideal.ย
Crushed stone has sharp edges so that it binds together better than smooth stones like pea gravel or river rocks โ which are better suited for dry creek beds or landscaping around plants and flowerbeds.ย
In certain situations where more filtration is needed, such as under driveways or next to swimming pools, larger stones such as #57 stone may be used instead of smaller crushed stone varieties.
How Much Gravel Is Needed For A French Drain?
The amount of gravel needed for a French drain depends on several factors including the size of the trench and the depth of the pipe being installed. Generally speaking, you should plan on using between 4-6 inches of gravel around the perimeter of your pipe for most residential applications.ย
If youโre installing a larger commercial-grade system, you may need up to 10 inches of gravel surrounding your pipe depending on how deep your system needs to go and how much ground cover you need above your pipe for protection against settling soil or root intrusion over time.

Frequently
Asked Questions
French drain installation is an effective way to resolve drainage problems by directing water away from the property and home’s foundation using a sump pump and other methods.
The French drain consists of a perforated pipe in a shallow trench, and it works by collecting runoff from an area that often holds standing water and diverting it away from the house.
This is especially good for crawl spaces because they can be routed around the foundation of the home, preventing further damage caused by pooling water in these low-lying areas. French drain installation can go a long way toward resolving drainage issues and helping preserve structural integrity.
If the French drain is installed correctly, it can help keep the bay area under moisture control and allow potential havoc-causing water to flow away from your home and landscape.
To get the pump started on securing your home, get a free estimate from an experienced specialist in drain problems like Attic Pros who can properly install French drain systems.
Installing a French drain is a favorable water management opportunity that helps to control water accumulation and avoid water seeping into retaining walls. While sometimes removing trees could be part of the process, it is not always necessary; the decision whether or not to remove trees depends on the specific drainage installation project.
