A paver edge or exposed walk benefits from a chip stone that stays tidy in appearance instead of blending into a fine-filled layer. #78 Crushed Stone is washed, angular material with few fines, so it does not behave like a dense packing aggregate. The chipped faces help the pieces nest together, while the open spaces still suit work that needs drainage.
Georgia red clay can rut and shed water when it is wet. Use this material as the open bedding beneath permeable pavers or around drainage pipe, rather than relying on it to form a tightly packed driving surface. In a walkway or patio build, keep the drainage path connected to an outlet so runoff is not left against the clay. The supplied material may be the closest local equivalent, and the exact material is confirmed before delivery.

Common Uses
Permeable Paver Bedding
Use as bedding and joint aggregate in permeable paver work, allowing water to move down through the paved surface.
Drainage Layers
Placed behind retaining walls, beside foundations, or below walkways, clean chips provide an open route for water.
Pipe Bedding
The small angular aggregate fits around drain and utility pipe, supporting the line while limiting open gaps.
Walkway & Patio Base
For shed pads, patios, and paths, it compacts into a supportive layer while allowing water to pass through.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Free Draining
With little to no fines, washed chips allow water to pass readily through the layer.
Holds Its Position
Because the pieces have angular edges rather than rounded shapes, they knit together and resist shifting after placement.
Simple Hand Placement
On smaller residential sites, the fine chips can be spread, leveled, and shaped with hand tools.
One Stone, Many Jobs
Suitable for drainage, bedding, and base applications within the same project.
