Chip Stone (#16 To 1/2″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Washed Chip Stone (#16 to 1/2" Size Range)
Washed chip stone in a #16 to 1/2" size range is a clean, angular aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural stone, then thoroughly washing it to remove dust, fines, and debris. The washing process ensures a cleaner product, making it ideal for applications where cleanliness and drainage are priorities.
The #16 to 1/2" size range offers a versatile balance-small enough for smooth compaction, yet large enough to promote excellent drainage. This makes washed chip stone a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and as a bedding layer for pavers or flagstone. It's also commonly used in drainage systems, concrete mixes, and as a decorative ground cover. The washed attribute reduces dust and tracking, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects where a clean, finished appearance is desired. While its angular shape helps lock pieces together for stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded aggregates.
