Decorative Aggregate - Pumice

Decorative aggregate with a pumice attribute is a lightweight, porous stone material prized for its unique texture and natural appearance. Pumice is formed from volcanic activity, resulting in a stone that is both durable and exceptionally light compared to traditional aggregates. Its porous structure allows for excellent drainage and reduces overall weight, making it easy to handle and install.

The pumice attribute makes this aggregate ideal for a variety of landscaping and decorative applications, including garden beds, pathways, rooftop gardens, and planter top-dressing. Its lightweight nature is especially beneficial for projects where weight is a concern, such as green roofs or container gardens. Additionally, pumice aggregate helps retain moisture while promoting aeration, supporting healthy plant growth. While it is not typically used for load-bearing or high-traffic surfaces due to its lower density, its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscape designs.
