Screened Chip Stone in 1/2" Size Range

Screened chip stone in a 1/2" size range is a crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks and then screening the material to ensure uniform particle size. The screening process removes fines and oversized pieces, resulting in consistently sized, angular chips that are free from excess dust and debris.

The 1/2" size offers a balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications. This screened chip stone is commonly used for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer for pavers or patios. Its angular shape helps it lock together for stability, while the screened attribute ensures a cleaner, more uniform finish. Pros include excellent drainage, reduced dust, and ease of installation. However, its angular nature may make it less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates.
