For a standard 100-foot French drain trench measuring roughly one foot wide and eighteen inches deep, you will need approximately four to five cubic yards of clean, washed three-quarter-inch gravel or crushed stone. Because gravel is typically sold by weight or volume, ordering slightly extra accounts for settling, trench irregularities, and packing around the perforated pipe.
