#2 Stone (1.5″ To 2.5″, State, Limestone)

#2 Stone, Limestone, 1.5” to 2.5”

#2 stone in a 1.5” to 2.5” size range is a large, angular aggregate made from crushed limestone. This material is produced by quarrying and mechanically crushing limestone rock, resulting in durable, irregularly shaped stones. The limestone composition provides excellent strength and longevity, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty construction needs.

The larger size range of #2 stone allows for superior drainage and load-bearing capacity, which is essential for foundational applications. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, providing stability while still allowing water to pass through. This makes it ideal for use as a base layer in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and railroad ballast. It is also commonly used for erosion control, septic system drainage fields, and as a sub-base for retaining walls.

While #2 limestone stone offers excellent drainage and structural support, its large size makes it unsuitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. It is best used where strength and drainage are priorities rather than finish or walkability.
