Decorative Aggregate - Slate, 1/2" to 1", Rainbow Color

Decorative aggregate in a 1/2" to 1" size range, crafted from natural slate and featuring a vibrant rainbow color palette, is a premium choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects. This material is produced by crushing and screening slate rock, resulting in angular pieces that showcase a spectrum of earthy hues, adding visual interest and elegance to any outdoor space.

The 1/2" to 1" size strikes a balance between coverage and stability, making it ideal for garden beds, pathways, and around trees or shrubs. The angular shape helps the aggregate lock in place, reducing movement and providing excellent weed suppression, while the slate's natural durability ensures long-lasting performance. Its colorful appearance enhances curb appeal and can be used as a striking accent in decorative borders, water features, or commercial plazas. While not suitable for high-traffic driveways due to its decorative nature, this aggregate is low-maintenance, resists fading, and offers superior drainage, making it a practical and attractive solution for a variety of landscaping needs.
