Decorative Aggregate (1/2″, Shell)

Decorative Aggregate Shell in 1/2" Size Range

Decorative aggregate featuring natural shell pieces in a 1/2" size range is a unique landscaping and construction material prized for its coastal aesthetic and functional benefits. Sourced from cleaned and processed marine shells, this aggregate offers a distinctive look that sets it apart from traditional stone or gravel.

The 1/2" size strikes a balance between visual appeal and practical performance. It is large enough to create texture and interest in garden beds, pathways, and patios, yet small enough to provide comfortable footing and easy installation. The shell attribute not only enhances drainage but also reflects sunlight, helping to keep surfaces cooler in warm climates. Common uses include decorative ground cover, garden borders, walkways, and as a mulch alternative that helps suppress weeds. While shell aggregate is less suitable for high-traffic driveways due to its tendency to shift, it excels in low-traffic, decorative, or coastal-themed projects, offering a sustainable and eye-catching solution.
