#2 Stone (2″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
#2 Stone in a 2" Minus Size Range
#2 stone in a 2" minus size range is a coarse aggregate consisting of crushed stone pieces that are predominantly 2 inches in diameter or smaller. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material includes a mix of stone sizes down to fines, which helps it compact well and form a stable base.
The 2" minus sizing means the aggregate contains both larger stones and smaller particles, making it ideal for applications where strength and compaction are important. This blend is commonly used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and heavy-duty construction pads. It's also suitable for erosion control and as a foundation layer beneath concrete or asphalt. The presence of fines allows for better compaction, resulting in a solid, load-bearing surface, though it may not provide optimal drainage compared to clean, uniformly sized stone.
