After heavy rain and during winter thaw, a drainage layer needs to stay open instead of becoming a fine-packed bed. #78 Crushed Stone is washed, angular chip material with few fines. Those qualities leave space within the layer while helping the stone settle more securely than rounded gravel.
On Indiana till plains, slow drainage and a high water table can leave a base wet when it has no outlet. Set this material around drainage tile or under permeable pavers, and direct the system toward a suitable discharge point. It works well for the drainage portion of a pole barn pad or farm-lane project, but it should not be treated as the dense finished layer needed for every load-bearing surface. The exact supplied material is confirmed before delivery when a local equivalent is needed.

Common Uses
Paver Drainage Bedding
Place it in permeable paver joints and bedding courses to keep water moving down through the installed surface.
Drainage Courses
Install these washed chips at foundations, retaining walls, or below walkways where drainage space is needed.
Pipe Support
For drain or utility lines, the angular chips provide even support around the pipe while reducing open spaces.
Walkway & Patio Base
Use it as a compacted drainage course below walkways, patios, and shed pads.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Fast Water Movement
Low-fines washed chips provide open space for water to pass through.
Locks in Place
The angular stone faces key together more securely than rounded gravel, helping the layer hold its position.
Easy to Spread
On confined residential areas, these small chips can be worked into place with hand rakes and screeds.
Uses Across the Job
One material can handle base layers, pipe bedding, and drainage work in a single project.
