Decorative Aggregate (1/2″ Minus, Brown, Alabama Brown)

Decorative Aggregate, 1/2" Minus, Brown (Alabama Brown)

Decorative aggregate in a 1/2" minus size range, featuring a rich Alabama Brown color, is a versatile material ideal for enhancing both residential and commercial landscapes. This aggregate is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone, resulting in a blend of particles up to 1/2" in size, including fines. The "minus" designation means the mix contains smaller particles and dust, which help the material compact well and create a stable surface.

The 1/2" minus size is particularly valued for pathways, garden beds, and patio bases, as it provides a smooth, walkable surface that resists shifting. Its compactability also makes it suitable for use under pavers or as a decorative top layer for driveways and walkways. The warm brown hue adds a natural, cohesive look to outdoor spaces, complementing a variety of design styles. While the fines improve stability, they may generate some dust during installation, but this settles quickly with watering or rainfall. Overall, this aggregate offers both functional and aesthetic benefits for landscaping and hardscaping projects.
