Decorative Aggregate, Red, 1/4" Minus

Decorative aggregate in a vibrant red color and a 1/4" minus size range is a finely crushed stone product ideal for both aesthetic and functional landscaping applications. The "minus" designation means the material includes particles up to 1/4" in size, along with finer dust, resulting in a compactable and stable surface.

The small, consistent size and fine texture of this aggregate make it excellent for pathways, garden borders, and as a top dressing for planters or flower beds. Its rich red hue adds visual interest and contrast, enhancing curb appeal in residential and commercial settings. The fine particles allow for easy compaction, creating a smooth, firm surface that resists shifting-ideal for walkways and patios. However, because of its compacting nature, it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to larger, more open-graded aggregates.
