Chip Stone, Crushed, 3/4" to #4 Size Range

Chip stone in a 3/4" to #4 size range, featuring a crushed attribute, is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The crushed nature of this material ensures sharp, interlocking edges, which enhance stability and load-bearing capacity compared to rounded alternatives.

The 3/4" to #4 size range offers a balanced gradation-large enough for effective drainage yet small enough for compactability. This makes it ideal for use in road base layers, driveways, walkways, and as a bedding material for pavers. Its angular shape provides excellent traction and reduces shifting, making it a preferred choice for high-traffic surfaces and structural foundations. While the crushed texture improves compaction and load distribution, it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas and can generate some dust during installation. Overall, this chip stone is valued for its durability, stability, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial construction projects.
