A finished drive needs a surface material that closes up, but #2 Crushed Stone keeps a rough, open profile after it is installed. The pieces are angular, and the stone has been washed so fines do not occupy the gaps between them. That makes it useful below farm-lane surfacing, around culverts, and in drainage work through prairie clay. It also gives shed and garage pads a heavy stone layer instead of a smooth finish.
Across Illinois, wet clay and seasonal freezing can keep water active below an entrance or pad. Set #2 Crushed Stone beneath the intended finish material, allowing the coarse stone to function as the open layer in the build. It is a practical choice where traffic first comes onto a site or where ditch and culvert work needs durable rock around the water path. Local naming for large crushed stone differs, so the exact material is checked with you before delivery.

Common Uses
Construction Entrances
Place a deep layer of angular rock at the site access point to help clear mud from tires before trucks reach the road.
Culvert & Ditch Lining
Set these heavy stones near culvert openings and along ditches where runoff hits hard.
Heavy Base Layers
Place it as the bottom layer over soft ground for farm lanes and equipment pads, then cover it with smaller stone.
Drainage Courses
The spaces around the rock allow heavy water flow to drain away from the job area.
Why Choose #2 Crushed Stone
Stays Put
Heavy, oversized pieces hold their position under vehicle traffic and help limit ruts.
Drains Fast
Washed material without fines leaves broad voids that allow water to flow through.
Bridges Soft Ground
Angular, large stone helps carry loads across soft or saturated ground.
Low Maintenance
After installation, upkeep is generally limited to periodic topping up.
