Decorative Aggregate (3″, Slate)
Applications & Uses
Decorative Aggregate - Slate, 3" Size Range
Decorative aggregate in a 3" size range, crafted from natural slate, is a premium landscaping material known for its striking appearance and durability. Slate is a metamorphic rock, split into flat, angular pieces that offer a unique texture and a sophisticated, natural look. The 3" size provides substantial coverage and visual impact, making it ideal for projects where bold, defined accents are desired.
The large, slate pieces are particularly effective for use in garden borders, dry creek beds, and as ground cover in high-visibility landscape features. Their size helps suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and reduce erosion, while the angular shape ensures the aggregate stays in place even on slopes. While not suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways due to their size, these slate aggregates excel in decorative applications, offering low maintenance and long-lasting color. This makes them a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects seeking a modern, natural aesthetic.
