Decorative Aggregate in a 1/4" Minus Size Range

Decorative aggregate in a 1/4" minus size range is a finely crushed stone product, where the largest particles are 1/4 inch and smaller particles, including stone dust, are included. This gradation creates a compactable material with a smooth, stable surface, making it ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications.

The 1/4" minus size is particularly valued for its ability to lock together tightly, reducing voids and providing excellent stability. This makes it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and as a base layer under pavers or flagstone. Its fine texture also helps minimize tripping hazards and creates a more finished look compared to coarser aggregates. While it compacts well and resists shifting, it may not provide as much drainage as larger, more open-graded materials. Overall, this aggregate is a versatile option for both residential and commercial projects seeking a clean, refined appearance with reliable performance.
