Chip Stone Ca-16 Limestone in 3/8" Size Range

Chip Stone Ca-16 limestone in a 3/8" size range is a finely crushed, angular aggregate produced from high-quality limestone. The Ca-16 designation indicates a specific gradation and consistency, making it ideal for applications where uniformity and reliable compaction are essential. The 3/8" size offers a balance between fine and coarse aggregate, providing excellent stability while still allowing for adequate drainage.

This material is commonly used as a base layer for pavers, walkways, and patios, as well as for asphalt mixes and road construction. Its angular shape helps it lock together when compacted, reducing movement and creating a solid foundation. The limestone composition ensures durability and resistance to weathering, while the smaller chip size makes it easy to spread and level. Pros include superior compaction, minimal dust, and versatility for both residential and commercial projects. However, its fine size may not be suitable for applications requiring significant drainage or decorative stone coverage.
