1/4" Chip Stone

1/4" chip stone is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality stone, screened to a consistent 1/4-inch size. This small, angular material is valued for its compactability and clean, uniform appearance, making it a versatile choice for a range of construction and landscaping projects.

The 1/4" size is ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required, such as under pavers, walkways, or as a top dressing for driveways. Its fine grading allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid base that resists shifting. Chip stone in this size is also commonly used for pathways, patios, and as a bedding layer for flagstone or brick installations. While its small size offers superior finish and stability, it may not be suitable for drainage applications where larger aggregates are preferred. Overall, 1/4" chip stone is a practical, easy-to-handle material for both residential and commercial projects seeking a neat, durable surface.
