Decorative Aggregate (1/4″ Minus, Quartzite)
Applications & Uses
Decorative Aggregate - Quartzite, 1/4" Minus
Decorative aggregate in a 1/4" minus size, made from durable quartzite, is a premium material prized for both its visual appeal and functional versatility. Quartzite is a naturally hard, metamorphic rock known for its resistance to weathering and its subtle, sparkling finish. The "minus" designation means this aggregate includes particles up to 1/4" in size, along with finer material, resulting in a compactable blend.
The small, graded size and quartzite composition make this aggregate ideal for pathways, patios, garden beds, and as a top dressing for landscape features. Its fine texture allows for excellent compaction, creating stable surfaces that are comfortable underfoot and resistant to shifting. The quartzite attribute ensures long-lasting color and minimal dust, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects where aesthetics and durability are important. While its fine size is excellent for smooth finishes and easy installation, it may not provide the drainage of larger aggregates, so it's best used where compaction and appearance are priorities.
