In Calcasieu Parish, you need it more than most places. Our water table sits high. The clay soil holds water against foundations, under slabs, and across yards. Hurricane season dumps 6 to 10 inches in a single storm. This is what gives that water somewhere to go.

Common Uses
Where Drainage Gravel is Used
If water is sitting where it shouldn't, one of these is your fix.
Yard Drainage
Got low spots that hold water after every rain? A gravel-filled trench or dry well moves that water underground. Common fix around Westlake and Prien.
Foundation Drainage
A trench around a foundation keeps water off the walls. In Lake Charles, clay soil traps moisture and causes cracking, settling, and mold.
French Drains
3/4-inch stone packs around perforated pipe with gaps for water to move through. The most common drainage installation we deliver for.
Ditch Lining
Lines roadside ditches and channels to slow erosion. Angular edges lock together so the stone holds during heavy rain.
Septic Drain Fields
Septic leach lines sit in beds of this stone. Creates the gaps that let wastewater filter into surrounding soil.
Retention Areas
Lines detention ponds and retention basins to control runoff and prevent erosion. Common on commercial sites across Calcasieu Parish.
Local Conditions
Why Drainage Gravel Works in Southwest Louisiana
Three things make this aggregate a necessity here. First, the water table. In most of Calcasieu Parish, groundwater sits 2 to 4 feet below grade. That means any trench, any foundation, any low spot fills with water fast.
Second, clay soil. Our native clay absorbs water slowly and holds it for days. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement cracks foundations and buckles driveways. This material creates a path for water to bypass the clay entirely.
Third, volume. Hurricane season and summer storms drop serious water fast. You need drainage that handles 4 to 6 inches in one afternoon, not just a light rain. Angular edges create bigger void spaces than round stone. More flow when you need it most.

What size drainage gravel do I need for a French drain?
Most French drains use 3/4-inch this material. It packs around perforated pipe with consistent gaps for water flow without clogging the pipe slots. For larger commercial drainage, 1-1/2-inch stone handles higher water volume.
How much drainage gravel do I need per linear foot?
A standard French drain at 12 inches wide and 18 inches deep uses about 1 cubic yard per 8 linear feet. A foundation drain at 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep uses about 1 cubic yard per 12 linear feet. Use the calculator on this page for your exact measurements.
Is drainage gravel the same as pea gravel?
No. This is angular crushed stone that locks together. Pea gravel is smooth and round. Both drain well. But for structural drainage, you want angular edges that interlock and resist shifting under load.
Can I use drainage gravel around my foundation in Lake Charles?
Yes. Foundation perimeter drains are one of the most common uses here. Our clay soil holds water against foundations, which causes cracking and settling. A 12-inch trench around the foundation moves that water away.
