#78 Crushed Stone in Arkansas

Gumbo clay in the Delta can hold moisture long after a storm, while thin Ozark and Ouachita soils meet rock much sooner. #78 Crushed Stone gives drainage and paving work a clean, angular aggregate with few fines. That open texture is useful where the project needs drainage space instead of a tightly closed surface.

A walkway or patio on an Ozark hillside can benefit from this stone in the bedding or drainage portion of the build where an open course is called for. Its angular pieces settle together better than rounded gravel, but the material is not intended to create a dense, fine-filled finish. Use it for the part of the project that needs drainage, such as around pipe, behind a retaining wall, or under permeable pavers. Local chip grading can differ, so the exact available material should be confirmed before delivery.

Permeable Paver Bedding

For permeable paver installations, this stone works in the setting layer and joints, allowing water to move through the paved surface.

Drainage Layers

Water can pass through these clean chips, making them useful below walkways and alongside foundations or retaining walls.

Pipe Bedding

Its small, angular chips fit around utility and drain lines to provide even support without open pockets.

Base for Walkways & Patios

For paths, patios, and shed pads, it can be spread and compacted into a stable layer that allows drainage.

Free Draining

With washed chips and few or no fines, this material lets water flow through fast.

Helps Hold the Layer

Because its fractured edges catch against each other, this stone resists shifting after placement.

Easy to Spread

Small chips level out smoothly with a hand rake or screed, including on compact residential work areas.

One Stone, Many Jobs

Use it for drainage, bedding, or base applications within a single project.
