Drainage needs an outlet before stone is installed, particularly near the Delaware Beaches where sand may drain readily but the water table can stay high. #2 Crushed Stone is angular, washed material without fines among the pieces. It stays open in culvert and ditch work, allowing water to pass through the layer rather than turning it into a packed surface.
Conditions differ from sandy ground near Delaware Bay to clay over rock in the Brandywine Valley. Use #2 Crushed Stone below the finished driving material when a driveway or access area needs a heavy, open base. It also fits the lower drainage layer beneath larger stone where the project requires that build-up. For a pole-barn pad or construction entrance, keep the intended top surface separate from this coarse stone so each layer can do its intended job.

Common Uses
Construction Entrances
At a site access point, a substantial bed of coarse, angular stone helps tires shed mud before trucks travel onto the road.
Culvert & Ditch Lining
Runoff gathers at culvert outlets and in ditches, so heavy stone is used there to help it remain in place.
Heavy Base Layers
Because soft subgrade needs support, place this as the initial layer beneath farm lanes and equipment pads, with smaller stone placed on top.
Drainage Courses
The open space between the larger pieces lets heavy water flow move out from the work zone.
Why Choose #2 Crushed Stone
Stays Put
Under tire traffic, the hefty stone pieces are less likely to form ruts or scatter.
Drains Fast
Since it is washed and free of fines, the stone leaves room for water to pass.
Bridges Soft Ground
Over wet or weak subgrade, the angular pieces help distribute the load.
Low Maintenance
After installation, it generally only requires topping up from time to time.
