Rock Blanket in Type 2 Size Range

Rock Blanket in a Type 2 size range is a durable, coarse aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features a mix of larger, angular rocks that interlock effectively to form a stable, protective layer.

The Type 2 size range refers to a specific gradation of rock pieces, typically larger and more robust than standard gravel. This size is ideal for applications where maximum stability and resistance to movement are required, such as lining drainage channels, reinforcing embankments, or protecting slopes from water runoff. Its substantial size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways but excellent for areas needing long-term erosion protection. The open structure of the rock blanket also promotes good drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and soil washout.
