Crushed Stone Ballast in a 2” Size Range
Crushed stone ballast in a 2" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into angular fragments. This material is specifically sized to approximately 2 inches, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and load distribution are critical.
The 2" size provides excellent drainage and resists movement under pressure, which is why it is commonly used as railroad ballast, beneath tracks to support and stabilize rails. It is also suitable for large-scale commercial drainage projects, erosion control, and as a base layer for road construction. The angular shape of the crushed stone helps it lock together, reducing shifting and settling over time. While its large size and rough texture make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, these same attributes ensure superior performance in structural and drainage roles.Applications & Uses
