#2 Stone (3/4″, Round)
Applications & Uses
#2 Round Stone in a 3/4" Size Range
#2 round stone in a 3/4" size range is a naturally weathered aggregate, typically sourced from riverbeds or glacial deposits. Unlike crushed or angular stone, these stones are smooth and rounded, resulting from years of natural erosion. The 3/4" size offers a balance between stability and drainage, making it versatile for various construction and landscaping needs.
The rounded shape of this aggregate reduces compaction, allowing for excellent drainage and minimizing the risk of water pooling. This makes it ideal for use in French drains, septic system drainage fields, and as a base layer for permeable paver installations. In residential settings, #2 round stone is often used for decorative landscaping, garden beds, and around playgrounds, as the smooth surface is safer for bare feet and less likely to cause injury. However, because it does not lock together as tightly as angular stone, it is less suitable for load-bearing applications like driveways or road bases where compaction is critical.
