Beneath permeable pavers, #78 Crushed Stone creates an open bedding layer instead of a tight, fine-filled surface. It is washed and has little to no fines, which allows water to move through the angular chips. The material is also appropriate for walkway and patio bases, drainage layers behind walls, and bedding around pipe.
In areas with black gumbo clay, drainage work needs a material that stays distinct from surrounding soil. Keep this stone separated from clay when placing it around drainage pipe or behind a retaining wall, so the open chip structure can do its job. Where drainage away from a slab is part of the plan, it can support the drainage portion of that work without being treated as a dense surface material.

Common Uses
Bedding for Permeable Pavers
Use this stone in the bedding and joints of permeable pavers so water can drain through the finished surface.
Drainage Courses
Place clean chips behind retaining walls, near foundations, or below walkways to keep water moving.
Pipe Support Bedding
These small angular chips provide even support around drain and utility pipe without creating open gaps.
Patio and Walk Base
Create a stable draining layer below walkways, patios, and shed pads with material that spreads and compacts well.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Fast Water Flow
Washed chips contain little to no fines, allowing water to pass through fast.
Interlocking Shape
Unlike rounded gravel, the angular surfaces knit together and help hold the layer in position.
Simple Hand Placement
Small chips are easy to rake and screed by hand, including in confined residential areas.
Multiple Uses
Use the same stone for drainage, bedding, and base tasks within one project.
