3/8" Chip Stone

3/8" chip stone is a small, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into uniform, chip-sized pieces. The 3/8" size range offers a fine, compactable material that is easy to spread and work with, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The small, angular nature of chip stone provides excellent interlock and stability, which is especially beneficial for use as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Its size allows for good compaction while still promoting adequate drainage, reducing the risk of pooling water. Common uses include residential driveways, pathways, and as a bedding material for hardscape projects. The fine size also makes it suitable for decorative ground cover or as a top dressing in garden beds. While chip stone compacts well, it may not be ideal for heavy load-bearing applications compared to larger aggregates.
