Decorative Aggregate in a 1/2" to 1" Size Range

Decorative aggregate in a 1/2" to 1" size range is a versatile construction material commonly used for both aesthetic and functional landscaping projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this aggregate features a uniform size that provides a clean, polished look for a variety of outdoor spaces.

The 1/2" to 1" size strikes a balance between visual appeal and practical performance. It is large enough to resist displacement from wind or rain, yet small enough to create a smooth, comfortable walking surface. This makes it ideal for garden beds, pathways, patios, and around trees or shrubs. In commercial settings, it is often used for decorative ground cover, accent borders, and low-maintenance landscape designs. While not typically used for structural base layers, its size and shape offer excellent drainage and weed suppression, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring compaction. Overall, this decorative aggregate is a popular choice for enhancing curb appeal and creating attractive, low-maintenance outdoor environments.
