Chip Stone (1/4″ To 1.25″)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone in a 1/4" to 1.25" Size Range
Chip stone in a 1/4" to 1.25" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular pieces. This gradation offers a blend of fine and coarse particles, making it ideal for applications where both stability and drainage are important.
The varied size range allows chip stone to compact well while still providing excellent permeability, reducing the risk of water pooling. It is commonly used for pathways, driveways, and as a base layer for pavers or concrete slabs. In commercial settings, it's often chosen for road base, parking lots, and drainage solutions. The angular shape helps lock the stones together, enhancing load-bearing capacity and minimizing shifting. However, the mix of sizes can make it less suitable for decorative top layers where a uniform appearance is desired.
