Decorative Aggregate - Meramec, 2/4" Size Range

Decorative aggregate in a Meramec blend, sized 2/4", is a premium natural stone product prized for its warm, earthy tones and smooth, rounded appearance. Sourced from riverbeds, Meramec stones are naturally tumbled, resulting in a polished finish that enhances visual appeal while minimizing sharp edges.

The 2/4" size range offers a balanced look-large enough to stand out in landscaping designs, yet small enough for easy handling and installation. This size is ideal for decorative ground cover, garden pathways, and around trees or shrubs, providing excellent weed suppression and moisture retention. It's also commonly used in commercial settings for accent beds, water features, and as a durable, low-maintenance alternative to mulch. The rounded Meramec stones are comfortable underfoot and resist compaction, promoting drainage while reducing dust and tracking. Note that, due to their smoothness, these aggregates are not suitable for high-traffic driveways or areas requiring firm compaction.
