Chip Stone - Limestone, Washed, 1/4" Minus

Chip stone in a 1/4" minus size, made from washed limestone, is a finely crushed aggregate ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications. The "washed" attribute means the material has been cleaned to remove dust and fines, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent product that minimizes airborne particles and mess during installation.

The 1/4" minus size indicates that the largest particles are 1/4 inch, with smaller particles and fines included. This gradation allows for excellent compaction, making it a popular choice for creating stable bases under pavers, patios, and walkways. The limestone composition offers durability and a natural appearance, while the washed quality ensures better drainage and a neater finish. Common uses include bedding for paving stones, pathways, and as a leveling layer for hardscapes. Pros include easy compaction, reduced dust, and improved drainage; however, the fine size may not be suitable for heavy drainage applications where larger stone is required.
