Decorative Aggregate Chip, 3/16" - 1/2", Brown

Decorative aggregate chip in a 3/16" to 1/2" size range is a versatile, visually appealing material ideal for enhancing landscaping and hardscape projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, these chips feature a consistent brown color that adds warmth and contrast to outdoor spaces. The chip attribute means each piece has angular edges, which help the aggregate lock in place and resist shifting.

The 3/16" to 1/2" size range strikes a balance between coverage and stability, making it suitable for pathways, garden beds, patios, and as a top dressing for planters. Its angular shape provides good traction and minimizes movement, while the smaller size allows for a smoother, more refined finish compared to larger stones. This aggregate is low-maintenance, helps with drainage, and reduces weed growth. However, its smaller size may make it less suitable for high-traffic driveways or areas requiring heavy compaction. Overall, it's an excellent choice for both residential and commercial decorative applications.
