At the drainage stage of a Utah paving project, #78 Crushed Stone can provide a clean chip layer where meltwater needs a route through the installation. The stone is washed and crushed, with angular pieces and very limited fine content. Those characteristics suit permeable paver bedding, drainage layers behind walls, pipe bedding, and walkways. Along the Wasatch Front, old lakebed clay can react to snowmelt, while gravelly bench ground may shed moisture quickly.
Lay #78 Crushed Stone as the bedding layer for permeable pavers once the drainage path and supporting layers are in place. This gives the material the job it is intended to do without expecting it to act like a dense base. Snowmelt drainage can matter across Utah Valley and Cache Valley, and frost can add movement to wet ground. Material labels vary among regions, so verify the grade being supplied before delivery.

Common Uses
Bedding for Permeable Pavers
Placed in the bedding course and joints of permeable pavers, it lets water move down through the finished surface.
Drainage Layers
Water can pass through these clean chips when they are placed below walkways, beside foundations, or at retaining walls.
Pipe Bedding
Around drainage and utility lines, the small angular stone provides even support while limiting open spaces.
Base Under Walkways & Patios
Its compactable, draining layer supports walkways, patios, and shed pads.
Why Choose #78 Crushed Stone
Fast Drainage
With little to no fines in the washed chips, water moves through the layer quickly.
Stays Put
The chips have angular sides that nest together more effectively than rounded gravel, keeping the layer in position.
Simple Hand Placement
Small chips are manageable with hand tools in confined residential areas.
One Material for Site Work
Within one project, this stone can go beneath base layers, serve as bedding, and handle drainage needs.
