Decorative Stone Rock
We deliver every gradeDecorative Stone Rock Chip Stone
Chip stone is small, angular rock made by crushing a bigger stone and screening out the dust. Most pieces run from about 3/8 inch up to 3/4 inch, and the edges stay sharp because they've never been tumbled by a river. The chips can come from marble, slate, granite, quartz, or limestone, and each rock type gives you a different color.
The word "chip" tells you about size and shape, not what kind of rock it is. It's small and angular, cut from a bigger stone. You'll pay more for chip stone than for plain gray crushed rock because the color and the clean, sorted look are what you're buying. Marble chips and slate chips usually cost the most; local limestone or granite chips cost the least.

What people use it for
How to choose within decorative stone rock chip stone
Read at the right distance
Pick the size that reads from where you'll see it. Fist-sized boulders in a small bed look like debris; pea-sized stone across a big front yard looks like dust.
Color that stays put
Natural stone holds its color for years. Dyed or coated pieces fade to grey after a season or two of sun.
Rounded vs. angular
Rounded stone rolls under a shoe, so it belongs inside a border. Angular stone stays put on a slope but reads harder underfoot.
