Washed Chip Stone in a 3/8" Size Range

Washed chip stone in a 3/8" size range is a clean, angular aggregate produced by crushing and screening natural stone, then thoroughly washing it to remove dust, clay, and fine particles. The washing process ensures a cleaner product, making it ideal for applications where appearance and drainage are important.

The 3/8" size offers excellent compaction while still allowing for effective water flow, making it a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and as a bedding layer for pavers or flagstone. Its angular shape helps lock pieces together, providing stability and reducing movement under load. The washed attribute minimizes dust and debris, resulting in a neater installation and less maintenance over time. This material is also commonly used in drainage systems, concrete mixes, and as a decorative ground cover. While it may not compact as tightly as finer materials, its superior drainage and clean appearance make it a versatile option for both residential and commercial projects.
