Decorative Aggregate with Shell, Medium Size

Decorative aggregate featuring natural shell fragments in a medium size range is a unique landscaping and construction material prized for its coastal aesthetic and functional benefits. Sourced from crushed and screened shells, this aggregate offers a blend of durability and visual appeal, with pieces typically ranging from 1/4" to 1" in diameter.

The medium size ensures a balanced texture-large enough to provide stability and coverage, yet small enough for comfortable walking surfaces. The shell attribute adds a distinctive, light-toned look that brightens outdoor spaces and complements beach-themed designs. Common uses include garden pathways, driveways, patios, and decorative ground cover in both residential and commercial settings. This material is also popular for erosion control and as a mulch alternative, as it helps retain soil moisture and deters weeds. While shell aggregate offers excellent drainage and a striking appearance, it may be less suitable for high-traffic areas due to potential breakage under heavy loads.
