5/8" Chip Stone

5/8" chip stone is a crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular, uniformly sized pieces. The 5/8" size range offers a balance between stability and workability, making it a versatile choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.

The angular shape of chip stone ensures excellent interlocking and compaction, which is ideal for creating solid, stable surfaces. This size is commonly used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and patios, as well as for asphalt production and as a bedding layer under pavers. Its relatively small size allows for good drainage while still providing enough surface area for compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. While chip stone is not typically used for decorative purposes, its functional benefits make it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications.
