Chip Stone (1/2″, Coarse)

Coarse Chip Stone in a 1/2” Size Range

Coarse chip stone in a 1/2" size range is a durable, angular aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into smaller, uniform pieces. The coarse texture and mid-sized grading make this material especially effective for applications where stability and drainage are key considerations.




The 1/2" size strikes a balance between compaction and permeability, allowing water to flow through while still providing a solid base. The coarse attribute ensures the chips interlock well, reducing movement and enhancing load-bearing capacity. This makes coarse 1/2" chip stone ideal for use in driveways, walkways, and as a base layer for patios or pavers. It is also commonly used in drainage systems, retaining wall backfill, and as a bedding material for pipes. While its angular shape improves stability, it may be less comfortable for barefoot use and can be harder to compact compared to finer aggregates. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and versatility in both residential and commercial construction projects.
