Chippings (crushed stone), delivered by the trip
Chippings are crushed stone — the hard skeleton inside concrete. The gauge matters: ½" chippings are smaller and suit finer, tighter concrete work, while ¾" chippings are the standard structural aggregate for foundations, columns and slabs. Pick the gauge your engineer or mason specifies and the concrete does its job.
What it’s used for
- ¾" chippings: structural concrete for foundations, columns and slabs
- ¾" chippings: heavy ground beams and reinforced work
- ½" chippings: finer concrete and thinner sections
- ½" chippings: precast items, screeds and tighter reinforcement
How far one trip goes
A 20-ton tipper trip of chippings is roughly 8–10 cubic metres depending on the gauge. Concrete is usually mixed by ratio with sand and cement, so ask your mason how many trips your slab or foundation volume needs before ordering the whole job.

How to spot good material
- Good chippings are clean, angular and consistent in size — a lot of dust or fine powder in the load means weaker, thirstier concrete.
- Keep the gauge consistent through a single pour; mixing ½" and ¾" unplanned changes how the concrete works and finishes.
Common questions
Which chippings do I use for a slab — ½" or ¾"?
For most foundations, columns and floor slabs, ¾" chippings are the standard structural choice. Use ½" for finer or thinner concrete work like precast and screeds. Always follow the gauge your engineer or mason specifies for the pour.
How many trips of chippings do I need for my concrete?
It depends on your concrete volume and mix ratio, so there's no single figure. Work out the cubic metres with your mason, then drop your pin on the order page for the delivered price per trip. Message us on WhatsApp if you'd like help.
How much is a trip of chippings delivered?
One delivered price per trip: the material plus haulage computed from your distance. Current chippings prices are published on the prices page, and your exact delivered total shows when you drop your pin.
