Crushed Stone 2 Stone

#2 stone is crushed rock screened between about 2 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 inches, with the dust washed out. The pieces are big and angular, so they lock together under weight and let water pour straight through the gaps. You can drop a golf ball in a pile of it and lose it. That's the point.

The 2 is a size number from the ASTM D448 sieve chart. It tells you how big the pieces are and says nothing about what kind of rock they came from, so you'll see it cut from limestone, granite, or trap rock depending on which quarry is closest. It's one of the coarsest clean stones you can order by the truckload, so it usually costs a bit more per ton than smaller sizes like #57 or #89.

How to choose within crushed stone 2 stone

Compaction over drainage

Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.

Drainage over compaction

The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.

Washed vs. unwashed

Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
