Description
Keep water moving and joints tidy with 1/4 clean stone ("rice"). Build stable, free-draining bases for pavers, paths, and synthetic turf. Use this washed, angular chip to lock surfaces in place while rain passes through, reducing puddles and freeze–thaw movement for a cleaner, lower-maintenance finish.
Key Features
- Free-draining design: Move water away fast to limit puddling and heave.
- Angular interlock: Help resist shifting under foot and light traffic.
- Washed and clean: Cut dust and tracking for a neater install.
- Consistent 1/4 inch size: Fill tight paver joints and create smooth bedding.
- Low maintenance: Top off joints as needed; rakes back into place quickly.
Applications
Use it as bedding and joint stone for permeable paver systems. Set stepping stones, top-dress garden paths, and level bases for sheds or edging. Backfill around drains where a small, clean chip is specified, and build firm, free-draining layers under synthetic turf.
Specifications
- Material: Crushed natural stone aggregate, washed
- Size: Approx. 1/4 inch (about 6 mm) nominal
- Gradation: Clean chip with no fines
- Texture/Finish: Angular, fractured faces for interlock
- Color: Natural quarry-dependent grays/earth tones (will vary)
Compact lightly with a plate compactor or hand tamper as your project specs require. Keep joints topped after initial settlement to maintain edge support and drainage performance.
