Chip Stone (7/16″)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone in a 7/16" Size Range
Chip stone in a 7/16" size range is a small, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into uniform, chip-sized pieces. This precise sizing ensures consistent coverage and compaction, making it a versatile material for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.
The 7/16" size strikes a balance between fine aggregates and larger gravel, offering excellent stability while still allowing for adequate drainage. This makes it ideal for use as a base layer under pavers, in pathways, or as a surface material for driveways and walkways. Its angular shape helps the stones lock together, reducing movement and providing a firm, stable surface. While chip stone of this size compacts well, it may not be as comfortable under bare feet as rounded aggregates, but it excels in load-bearing and erosion control applications.
