Chip Stone (3/8″)
Applications & Uses
3/8" Chip Stone
3/8" chip stone is a small, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into uniform, chip-sized pieces. The 3/8" size range offers a fine, compactable material that is easy to spread and work with, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The small, angular profile of chip stone provides excellent interlock and stability, which is especially beneficial for use as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Its size also makes it suitable for use in asphalt mixes, as well as for decorative ground cover in garden beds and pathways. The fine grading allows for good compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. However, because of its small size, it may not provide optimal drainage compared to larger aggregates. Overall, 3/8" chip stone is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a stable, compactable base or a clean, finished appearance.
