Decorative Aggregate (1″ To 3″, Cobbles)
Applications & Uses
Decorative Aggregate Cobbles (1" to 3")
Decorative aggregate cobbles in the 1" to 3" size range are naturally rounded or tumbled stones selected for their visual appeal and durability. These cobbles are larger than typical gravel, making them ideal for projects where both aesthetics and function are important. Their smooth, rounded surfaces are a result of natural weathering or mechanical tumbling, which also reduces sharp edges for safer handling and foot traffic.
The 1" to 3" size range provides excellent coverage and visual impact, making these cobbles a popular choice for landscape borders, garden beds, dry creek beds, and water features. They are also used in commercial settings for decorative ground cover, erosion control, and accenting pathways. While their size and shape make them less suitable for compacted surfaces like driveways, they excel in drainage applications and as a low-maintenance, weed-suppressing mulch. The main advantage of cobbles is their decorative appeal and stability, though their larger size can make installation more labor-intensive compared to smaller aggregates.
