#2 Stone in a 2” Minus Size Range
#2 stone in a 2” minus size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable rock sources such as limestone, granite, or gravel. The “2” minus” designation means the material contains pieces up to 2 inches in diameter, along with smaller particles and fines. This gradation allows for excellent compaction and stability, making it a reliable base material for a variety of construction projects.
The blend of larger stones and fines in #2 stone provides a solid foundation with good load-bearing capacity, while the smaller particles help fill voids and lock the material in place. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base for roads, driveways, parking lots, and building pads. It is also commonly used for erosion control, backfilling, and as a base layer under concrete or asphalt. While the presence of fines aids compaction, it can reduce drainage compared to clean, washed stone, so it may not be the best choice for applications requiring maximum water flow. Overall, #2 stone in a 2” minus size is valued for its strength, stability, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction.
