Chip Stone (#4 To 1/2″, Crushed)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone, Crushed, #4 to 1/2"
Crushed chip stone in the #4 to 1/2" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. This process creates sharp, irregular edges that help the material lock together when compacted, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.
The #4 to 1/2" size is ideal for applications where a balance between drainage and compaction is needed. Its relatively small, uniform pieces make it suitable for use as a base layer under pavers, walkways, and patios, as well as for driveways and pathways. The crushed attribute ensures minimal shifting and settling, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects. While its angular shape improves stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot use and can be harder to spread evenly compared to rounded aggregates. Overall, crushed chip stone in this size range offers strong performance for structural and drainage applications.
