Granite ledge near grade and deep frost often shape a New Hampshire excavation before the stone is placed. #2 Crushed Stone consists of large angular material that is washed, with fines removed. It does not close into a smooth driving surface, since spaces remain between the pieces. Those spaces make it a practical choice for ditch and culvert drainage, particularly where seasonal runoff must be directed away from a road or work area.
At a construction entrance, the large stone can handle tire traffic while helping take mud from tires before vehicles reach the road. On a camp or cottage road that needs a finished driving surface, install that surface above #2 Crushed Stone instead of expecting this material to serve as the top layer. This arrangement keeps the open stone lower in the build, where it can support drainage through New Hampshire freeze and thaw conditions.

Common Uses
Construction Entrances
Place a substantial layer of angular stone at the site access point to pull mud from truck tires before it reaches the road.
Culvert & Ditch Lining
Place these substantial stones at culvert ends and in drainage ditches where runoff gathers.
Heavy Base Layers
Place it as the initial layer beneath farm lanes, equipment pads, or weak ground, then cover it with finer stone.
Drainage Courses
The open spaces between stones allow substantial water flow to drain clear of the work area.
Why Choose #2 Crushed Stone
Stays Put
Their size and weight help limit rutting and displacement under tire traffic.
Drains Fast
With no fines, washed stone retains broad spaces for water movement.
Bridges Soft Ground
Angular, oversized pieces distribute loads over wet or weak subgrade.
Low Maintenance
After placement, upkeep is generally limited to adding material occasionally.
