Washed Chip Stone (#50 to 1/4" Size Range)

Washed chip stone in the #50 to 1/4" 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 cleanliness and drainage are priorities.

The small, uniform size of these chips allows for excellent compaction and stability, while the washed attribute minimizes dust and debris, resulting in a neater, more professional finish. This material is commonly used for pathways, bedding for pavers, drainage layers, and as a decorative ground cover in landscaping. Its clean, angular profile provides good interlock and support, but because it is washed, it may be less suitable for situations where fines are needed for binding. Overall, washed chip stone in this size range offers reliable drainage, a tidy appearance, and versatile performance for both residential and commercial projects.
