Chip Stone (1/4″ To 5/8″)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone in a 1/4" to 5/8" Size Range
Chip stone in a 1/4" to 5/8" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, angular pieces. This specific size range offers a balance between fine and coarse aggregate, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The 1/4" to 5/8" chip stone size provides excellent compaction while still allowing for adequate drainage, making it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and as a base material for pavers and patios. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, reducing movement and increasing stability under load. This size is also commonly used in asphalt mixes and as a bedding layer for concrete slabs. While chip stone compacts well, its angular edges can make it less comfortable for barefoot traffic compared to rounded gravel. Overall, this aggregate is valued for its durability, stability, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
