#2 Crushed Stone in North Carolina

Along a Piedmont ditch or culvert line, #2 Crushed Stone provides open space for water to move through. The material is washed, with no fines to close those gaps, and its angular pieces suit work where a heavy, stable stone layer is needed. It can also be placed at construction entrances to help keep mud from being carried onto the road.

Red clay can turn greasy under load, so this material works best as a lower layer instead of a finished driving surface. Place #2 Crushed Stone beneath larger stone when the job needs drainage, then use an appropriate finished surface above it for traffic. This approach helps separate the open drainage layer from the driving surface. The exact local equivalent is confirmed before delivery.

Culvert & Ditch Lining

Place these weighty stones around culvert outlets and in ditches where runoff gathers.

Heavy Base Layers

Use it beneath farm lanes, equipment pads, or soft ground, then add a smaller stone over it.

Drainage Courses

The large spaces between pieces allow substantial water flow away from the work area.

Its large, heavy pieces help resist tire rutting and movement.

Drains Fast

With no fines, washed stone leaves room for water to flow between the pieces.
