#2 Stone (1.5″ To 2.5″, Dry)
Applications & Uses
#2 Stone, Dry, 1.5" to 2.5"
#2 stone in a dry, 1.5" to 2.5" size range is a large, coarse aggregate commonly produced from crushed limestone, granite, or gravel. The "dry" attribute means the material is not washed after crushing, so it may contain some dust and fine particles, which can aid in binding but may also affect drainage in certain applications.
This larger size makes #2 stone ideal for heavy-duty uses where stability and load-bearing capacity are essential. It is frequently used as a base layer for road construction, driveways, and parking lots, as well as for erosion control, drainage fields, and septic system installations. The substantial size allows for excellent drainage and prevents compaction, making it less suitable for finished surfaces but perfect for foundational support and water management.
Pros include superior load distribution and drainage, while the dry, unwashed nature may result in minor dust during installation. Overall, #2 dry stone is a reliable choice for robust structural and drainage applications in both residential and commercial projects.
