Chip Stone (3/16″)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone in a 3/16" Size Range
Chip stone in a 3/16" size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality stone, typically granite or limestone. The small, uniform particle size is achieved through mechanical crushing and screening, resulting in angular fragments that interlock well when compacted.
The 3/16" size is ideal for applications requiring a stable, smooth surface with minimal voids. This fine chip stone is commonly used as a setting bed for pavers, flagstone, or bricks, and as a top layer for pathways and patios. Its small size allows for excellent compaction, reducing movement and providing a firm base. Additionally, it is often used in asphalt mixes and as a decorative ground cover in landscaping. While its fine texture offers superior stability and a clean finish, it may not provide optimal drainage compared to larger aggregates.
