Decorative Aggregate (1/2″, Washed, Shell)
Applications & Uses
Decorative Aggregate - Washed Shell, 1/2" Size
Decorative aggregate in a 1/2" size, featuring washed shell, is a premium landscaping material prized for its clean appearance and natural coastal aesthetic. This aggregate is produced by collecting and washing crushed shells, removing dust and debris to ensure a bright, attractive finish. The 1/2" size offers a balanced texture-large enough to stay in place, yet small enough for comfortable walking surfaces.
The washed attribute means minimal dust and a cleaner installation, making it ideal for high-visibility areas such as garden beds, pathways, patios, and around pools. The shell composition provides excellent drainage, helping to prevent puddling and soil compaction. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, this aggregate is also popular for decorative ground cover, driveways, and as a mulch alternative. While it offers a unique, eye-catching look and low maintenance, the shell material can be less suitable for heavy traffic or load-bearing applications compared to traditional stone.
