2" Crushed Natural Stone | Decorative Landscape & Drainage Aggregate

Bring enduring strength and natural character to your property with our 2" Crushed Natural Stone. Featuring a rugged, angular texture and a sophisticated multi-tonal palette of blues, greys, and beiges, this versatile aggregate delivers both striking visual contrast and heavy-duty structural performance for demanding outdoor spaces.

Key Features & Benefits

• Angular Interlocking Design: Precisely crushed to a uniform 2-inch size, allowing individual pieces to lock securely in place for superior load stability and shift-resistant performance.

• Exceptional Drainage Capability: Large voids between angular stones promote rapid water movement, preventing pooling in high-flow drainage channels and erosion-prone slopes.

• Rich Color Consistency: Naturally quarried stone showcasing clean blues, cool greys, and warm beiges that maintain their earthy vibrancy through seasonal weather changes.

• Low-Maintenance Durability: Resists fading, decomposition, and displacement, providing a permanent ground cover solution that requires zero sealing or chemical upkeep.

• High Job-Site Efficiency: Cleanly screened to minimize fine dust and debris, streamlining handling, bulk spreading, and placement across commercial and residential sites.

Ideal Applications

• Heavy Drainage & French Drains: Excellent backfill material for foundation drains, footing drains, and subsurface channels managing heavy water flow.

• Erosion Control & Swales: Ideal for stabilizing steep embankments, drainage ditches, and culvert runoffs against severe washouts.

• Modern Landscape Borders & Accent Beds: Creates a bold, contemporary ground cover around architectural plantings, large trees, and modern hardscape features.

• Utility & Driveway Bases: Serves as a reliable, high-load foundation layer for heavy-traffic paths, access roads, and utility trenches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much area does one cubic yard cover?

One cubic yard of 2" crushed stone covers approximately 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth. For standard decorative ground cover applications, a 3-inch to 4-inch depth is recommended to ensure complete soil coverage.

What is the weight of the stone per cubic yard?

Natural crushed stone typically weighs approximately 2,600 to 2,800 pounds (1.3 to 1.4 tons) per cubic yard, depending on moisture content and mineral composition. Please ensure your transport vehicle or delivery site can accommodate this weight.

Will the color fade over time?

No. Because this is 100% natural quarried stone rather than artificially dyed aggregate, the natural blues, greys, and beiges are permanent and will not wash or fade away under direct sunlight.

How is the product sold and delivered?

This material is available in bulk quantities for local pickup or direct job-site delivery across Rhode Island. It is loaded by the cubic yard into trucks or trailers.

Pro Contractor Tip

When using 2" crushed stone for heavy water flow areas or drainage channels, always install a non-woven geotextile fabric beneath the aggregate layer. This prevents sub-grade soil from migrating upward into the stone voids, preserving the high permeability and structural integrity of your drainage system over the long term.
