#2 Stone (1.5″ To 2.5″)

#2 Stone in a 1.5" to 2.5" Size Range

#2 stone in a 1.5" to 2.5" size range is a large, crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable natural rock such as limestone, granite, or gravel. The stones are mechanically crushed and screened to ensure consistent sizing, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well when used in construction applications.

The larger size of #2 stone makes it ideal for heavy-duty uses where stability and drainage are priorities. Its substantial size allows for excellent water flow, making it a preferred choice for base layers in road construction, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large drainage projects. In residential settings, #2 stone is often used as a base for driveways, parking pads, and retaining wall backfill. While its size provides superior drainage and load-bearing capacity, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. The angular shape helps prevent shifting, but the large stones can be difficult to walk on and are not recommended for finished surfaces.
