At the edge of a walk or patio, #78 Crushed Stone leaves a clean, chipped finish instead of the smooth look of rounded gravel. Its crushed, angular faces give the material a defined texture, and the washing leaves very limited fine material among the chips. That open character suits Vermont landscape areas that can stay wet during spring thaw and through repeated freeze-thaw conditions.
Use it in drainage details, behind retaining walls, or at the bedding stage of permeable pavers. For a paver installation, place this material over the prepared supporting base, not in place of that foundation layer. The gaps between the chips provide a route for moisture while the paver work is being built. In areas of clay or till, make sure the drainage route is considered before covering the stone with the finished surface.

Common Uses
Permeable Paver Bedding
In permeable paver systems, this stone serves in the bedding layer and joints so water can continue through the surface.
Drainage Layers
Its open structure lets water pass through in drainage courses beside foundations, behind retaining walls, and beneath walkways.
Pipe Bedding
Around utility and drain lines, the angular small stone settles into support while limiting open gaps.
Patio and Path Base
Under shed pads, patios, or footpaths, it compacts into a layer that carries water away.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Rapid Drainage
Because fines are largely absent, washed chips allow water to move through quickly.
Stays Put
Because the pieces have angular sides rather than rounded ones, they fit together and hold their position.
Simple to Place
Small chips can be leveled with a hand rake or screed, including in confined residential spaces.
Versatile Stone
It can handle base layers, bedding, and drainage in one job.
