Fill Materials
We deliver every grade2 Stone
#2 stone is large crushed rock with pieces roughly 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches across. The chunks are angular, so they wedge into each other when you drive over them or dump a smaller stone on top. Most yards sell it clean, so the fine dust has been washed off at the plant. It's too big to walk on comfortably, which is why you'll almost always see it under something else.
The 2 comes from the ASTM D448 screen chart. That chart runs from #1 (biggest, up to about 4 inches) down through #10 (fine screenings), and it only tells you the size. The rock underneath can be limestone, granite, or river gravel depending on what your local quarry pulls. Expect to pay a little less per ton than smaller washed sizes like #57, since the bigger pieces need less crushing.
What people use it for
How to choose within 2 stone
Under something heavy
Use structural fill — angular, clean, compactable — under a slab, driveway, or foundation.
Just raising grade
General fill works — it's cheap dirt that levels a yard, patches a hole, or brings a low spot up to grade.
Never the top layer
Fill goes under, not on. Topsoil or a wear layer goes on top — fill won't grow anything and it won't hold up traffic.
