Gravel and drain rock.
Gravel and leach rock for projects that need an open aggregate. Match the actual grading to your equipment and animals.
- Match the actual size and texture to the job. A name or color alone does not establish chemistry or animal suitability.
- Product pages show confirmed preparation details. Missing claims are left out rather than guessed.
- The bag weight and box capacity are different measures. Your cart calculates both.

An open aggregate still needs a design
Grey common gravel and leach rock are different products for projects involving aggregate. Grey gravel has a nominal 3/4 inch grade. The actual supplied grading of leach rock is awaiting measurement. Both are washed and screened, while water chemistry remains unconfirmed. A drainage label does not establish that a stone leaves every water parameter unchanged.
Choose the job before the bag. A decorative pond floor, a contained media compartment, and a planted filter bed have different requirements. Retaining openings, distribution pipes, cleaning access, and the actual grade all belong in the plan. Do not fill every visible space with stone before finding the intended water route.
Follow the filter specification
There is no single aggregate size for every bog or wetland. Some pea-gravel designs specify a small rounded material, while modular systems can require much larger pieces around their components. Aquascape's wetland instructions illustrate why aggregate and equipment must be considered together. Matching a nominal diameter is not enough to approve a substitution.
Keep structural drainage separate from the material supporting a planted bed. Ask the designer or equipment maker about changes. A trade name such as leach rock cannot promise the shape, permeability, or cleanliness that an unspecified design needs.
Leave a route for maintenance
Stone can create spaces that are hard to inspect. Decide where solids go and how you will reach them. Do not bury a drain or cleanout beneath a permanent decorative pile. If a basket must be lifted, keep its loaded weight manageable and leave room for the actual removal path.
Loose gravel also needs an animal-use check. A familiar pond material is not a default floor for a turtle or a fish that mouths substrate. Consider actual dimensions, surface shape, and adult behavior alongside composition and finish.
Calculate the intended volume
These products come in 1 lb and 5 lb bags. Measure each project zone separately, choose its depth, and use the calculator as an approximate conversion to weight. The cart compares the chosen bag mix with configured box capacities and displays shipping separately.
Before ordering, read bog-filter grading, pond-floor planning, and contained biological media. Use the confirmed product information to finish the material choice.
