#2 Stone with Ice Mix Attribute

#2 stone with an ice mix attribute is a coarse aggregate typically composed of crushed granite, limestone, or gravel. The "ice mix" designation means this material is specifically blended to provide optimal traction and melting efficiency when used for winter road maintenance and de-icing applications.

The larger size of #2 stone-generally ranging from 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" pieces-ensures excellent coverage and stability on icy surfaces, reducing the risk of slipping for both vehicles and pedestrians. The coarse texture and angular shape help the stone embed into snow and ice, providing immediate grip. This makes it ideal for use on driveways, parking lots, roadways, and walkways during winter months. While not typically used for decorative or compacted surfaces, #2 stone ice mix excels in situations where traction and safety are the primary concerns. One consideration is that the larger stone size may be difficult to remove after the season and is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth finish.
