3/8" Dry Chip Stone

3/8" dry chip stone is a small, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into uniform chips. The "dry" attribute means the material is supplied without added moisture, making it lighter and easier to handle, especially in bulk deliveries or storage. The 3/8" size offers a fine, compactable texture that is ideal for precise applications where a stable, level surface is required.

This chip stone is commonly used as a base layer for pavers, walkways, and patios, as well as for decorative ground cover and in asphalt mixes. Its small size allows for excellent compaction, creating a solid foundation that resists shifting. The dry nature of the product reduces mess and makes it suitable for indoor storage or use in areas where excess moisture is a concern. While it compacts well, it may not provide as much drainage as larger aggregates, so it's best suited for surfaces where stability is more important than water flow.
