Squeegee
Squeegee is fine crushed rock chips, roughly 1/4 inch and smaller, with the stone dust left in. The chips are angular and the fines pack in tight when you compact them. That's why paver installers spread it under brick and screed it flat before they set the pavers. Water still drains through it, but slower than through a clean chip stone with the dust washed out.
There's no ASTM number for squeegee. It's a regional name, mostly used across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, for fine chip stone with the fines mixed in. Elsewhere you'll see the same product sold as "1/4 inch minus" or "chip and dust." What you're paying for is the tight gradation, small chips and fines together, that levels flat and locks up under compaction. Price mostly tracks the rock type and how far the truck has to drive.

What people use it for
How to choose within squeegee
Ask before you order
These aren't catalog items. Confirm size, color, and delivery window with the yard before you commit — every load runs differently.
Match the job to the stone
Flagstone, boulders, ballast, glass gravel — each has one right job. Get the job clear first, then the stone follows.
Lead time is longer
A specialty order usually ships slower than a #57 pallet. Plan the delivery date around the material, not the other way around.
