Once #78 Crushed Stone is spread, its washed, angular pieces retain spaces between the chips because the material has few fines. It gives paver bedding and drainage work a clean crushed-stone texture, rather than the closed character of a fine-filled aggregate. The angular shape also provides the interlocking quality associated with crushed stone.
Yazoo clay and Delta buckshot can hold moisture for extended periods, while storm drainage is a concern along the Gulf Coast. For drainage work, use #78 Crushed Stone as bedding for drainage pipe, where its clean chip structure is suited to that task. It can also be used behind retaining walls or in a walkway base when the project calls for a draining stone layer. The product may be supplied as the named grade or the closest local equivalent, with the exact material checked before delivery.

Common Uses
Permeable Paver Bedding
Place this material as the setting bed and joint fill in permeable paver work, allowing water to drain through the surface.

Walkway & Patio Base

Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
