Chip Stone (3/8″, Clean, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone, Clean Washed, 3/8" Size
3/8" clean, washed chip stone is a small, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and then thoroughly washing the material to remove dust, fines, and debris. The "clean, washed" attribute ensures a product free from clay and silt, resulting in a consistent, high-quality stone ideal for precise construction needs.
The 3/8" size offers excellent drainage properties and is easy to spread, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial applications such as concrete mixes, walkways, driveways, and as a bedding layer for pavers. Its small, uniform size allows for tight compaction while still promoting water flow, reducing the risk of pooling or erosion. The absence of fines means less dust during installation and a cleaner finished appearance. However, because it is less compactable than finer materials, it may not be suitable as a standalone base for heavy load-bearing surfaces. Overall, 3/8" clean, washed chip stone is valued for its versatility, cleanliness, and reliable performance in a variety of landscaping and construction projects.
