Chip Stone in a #16 to 3/8" Size Range

Chip stone in a #16 to 3/8" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly produced from durable natural rock through mechanical crushing and screening. This specific gradation features small, angular particles that offer excellent interlocking properties, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The #16 to 3/8" size range strikes a balance between fine and coarse aggregate, providing good compaction while still allowing for adequate drainage. This makes chip stone particularly suitable for use as a base material under pavers, in pathways, or as a bedding layer for patios and driveways. Its angular shape helps prevent shifting and settling, ensuring long-term stability. While it compacts well, the smaller size may not be ideal for heavy load-bearing surfaces but excels in decorative and light-traffic areas.
