#2 Stone, NYSDOT, 1.5" to 2.5"

#2 stone in a 1.5" to 2.5" size range, produced to NYSDOT (New York State Department of Transportation) specifications, is a durable crushed aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty construction applications. Manufactured from high-quality quarried rock, this material is rigorously screened and tested to meet strict state standards for size, strength, and cleanliness.

The large, angular particles in this size range provide excellent load-bearing capacity and superior drainage, making #2 NYSDOT stone ideal for road base layers, railroad ballast, erosion control, and large-scale drainage projects. Its substantial size prevents compaction, ensuring long-term stability and effective water flow in sub-base and backfill applications. While its coarse texture is not suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring compaction, it excels in structural and infrastructure projects where strength and drainage are priorities.
