Decorative Aggregate in a 1/8" to 1/4" Size Range

Decorative aggregate in a 1/8" to 1/4" size range is a premium construction material composed of small, naturally or mechanically processed stones. This fine, uniform sizing offers a refined appearance and smooth texture, making it ideal for both aesthetic and functional applications.

The small particle size ensures excellent coverage and a stable surface, which is especially beneficial for pathways, garden beds, and as a top layer in landscape designs. It is also commonly used in exposed aggregate concrete, decorative borders, and as a filler between pavers. The fine size allows for easy compaction and a comfortable walking surface, while also providing good drainage. However, due to its small size, it may shift under heavy traffic and is less suitable for load-bearing applications. Overall, this decorative aggregate is a versatile choice for enhancing curb appeal and creating polished, low-maintenance outdoor spaces.
