Decorative Aggregate - Volcanic, 3/8" Size

Decorative aggregate in a volcanic composition and 3/8" size range is a premium landscaping and construction material prized for its unique appearance and functional benefits. Produced from naturally occurring volcanic rock, this aggregate is lightweight, highly durable, and features a porous structure that enhances drainage and reduces compaction.

The 3/8" size offers a fine, uniform texture ideal for creating smooth, visually appealing surfaces. This makes it especially popular for residential and commercial landscaping, garden pathways, ground cover, and decorative accents around trees and shrubs. Its volcanic origin means it resists fading and weathering, while the smaller size ensures comfortable walking surfaces and easy installation. Additionally, volcanic aggregate helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture, making it a practical and attractive choice for sustainable landscape design.
