Decorative Aggregate Nuggets (1" to 2.5")

Decorative aggregate in a 1" to 2.5" nugget form is a premium landscaping material known for its distinctive, rounded appearance and substantial size. These nuggets are typically produced from natural stone, tumbled or processed to achieve smooth, rounded edges that enhance both safety and visual appeal.

The 1" to 2.5" size range makes these nuggets ideal for high-impact decorative applications, such as garden beds, pathways, and around trees or shrubs, where their larger profile helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Their rounded shape is gentle underfoot, making them suitable for walkways and play areas, while also reducing the risk of injury compared to sharper aggregates. While not ideal for compacted surfaces or load-bearing applications, these nuggets excel in drainage and erosion control, and their size helps prevent displacement by wind or rain. This combination of form and function makes them a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects seeking a polished, low-maintenance finish.
