Screenings Chips in #6 to 3/8" Size Range

Screenings chips in a #6 to 3/8" size range are finely crushed stone particles produced during the screening process of larger aggregates. This material consists of small, angular chips that offer excellent compaction and stability, making it a versatile choice for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.

The #6 to 3/8" size range provides a balance between fine and coarse particles, allowing for tight packing while still promoting adequate drainage. The chip attribute ensures a rough, angular texture, which helps the material lock together and resist shifting under load. Common applications include use as a base layer for pavers, walkways, and patios, as well as for filling joints between larger stones. These screenings are also popular for creating smooth, stable surfaces in pathways and as a bedding material for pipes. While their excellent compaction is a major advantage, the small size may make them less suitable for areas requiring high permeability or decorative finishes.
