On a visible walk or patio edge, the angular pieces in #78 Crushed Stone give the layer a distinct crushed-stone character rather than the look of rounded gravel. The chips interlock, while washing and low fines keep the material suited to applications that need drainage.
Granite ledge near grade and deep frost call for a clear division between draining stone and materials intended for other parts of the build. For a walkway or permeable paver installation, set #78 Crushed Stone as the bedding layer called for in the plan, then keep surrounding drainage paths clear. This approach is useful around camps and cottages where runoff has to be considered.

Common Uses
Permeable Paver Bedding
For permeable paver work, this stone serves as bedding and joint fill, leaving routes for water to move down through the paver surface.
Drainage Layers
Its open stone structure carries water away at retaining walls, foundation edges, and beneath walks.
Pipe Bedding
Its small angular particles bed drain and utility pipe uniformly, supporting the pipe while limiting open spaces.
Walkway & Patio Base
Use beneath walkways, patios, or shed pads for a compacted layer that still allows drainage.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Free Draining
Washed chips containing little to no fines allow fast water movement.
Locks in Place
The crushed, angular pieces knit together more tightly than rounded gravel, helping the placed layer resist shifting.
Easy to Spread
This small chip can be raked and screeded by hand, including on confined residential work areas.
One Stone, Many Jobs
Use the same aggregate for drainage, bedding, and base portions of a project.
