3/8" Chip Stone - Limestone

3/8" chip stone in limestone is a finely crushed aggregate known for its angular shape and durable composition. Produced by mechanically crushing limestone rock, this material offers a consistent size and texture, making it ideal for precise construction and landscaping applications.

The 3/8" size provides excellent compaction while maintaining good drainage, making it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer beneath pavers or concrete slabs. Its small, angular particles interlock well, reducing movement and creating a stable surface. Limestone's natural hardness and resistance to weathering add longevity to any project. This chip stone is also commonly used for decorative borders, walkways, and as a bedding material for pipes. While its fine size allows for smooth finishes and easy leveling, it may not be suitable for areas requiring significant load-bearing capacity or where larger drainage voids are needed.
