Black Crushed Stone for Landscaping

Black crushed stone is a durable, angular aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into smaller, consistently sized pieces. Its striking black color adds a modern, elegant touch to any landscape design, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.

The angular shape of crushed stone helps it lock together when spread, providing excellent stability for pathways, garden beds, and decorative borders. Its dark hue not only creates visual contrast but also helps retain warmth, which can benefit certain plantings. Black crushed stone is low-maintenance, resists fading, and suppresses weed growth, making it ideal for mulching, accenting water features, or creating clean, defined lines in outdoor spaces. While it offers superior drainage and is less likely to compact than finer materials, it may not be suitable for areas requiring a soft surface underfoot.
