Trap Rock in a 2" Size Range

Trap rock in a 2" size range is a highly durable, angular aggregate produced from the crushing of dense, fine-grained igneous rock such as basalt or diabase. This material is known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weathering, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction applications.

The 2" size offers excellent load-bearing capacity and is particularly effective for projects requiring substantial drainage and stability. Its larger particle size prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely-ideal for use as a base layer in road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and heavy-duty drainage systems. While its angular shape helps lock pieces together for added stability, the coarse texture can make it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth finish. Overall, 2" trap rock is valued for its strength, longevity, and superior drainage properties in both residential and commercial projects.
