Decorative Aggregate (3/8″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Decorative Aggregate in a 3/8" Minus Size Range
Decorative aggregate in a 3/8" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel, screened so that the largest particles are 3/8 inch and smaller, including fine particles. This gradation creates a compactable material with a smooth, finished appearance, making it ideal for both functional and aesthetic applications.
The 3/8" minus sizing allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and creating a stable surface that resists shifting. This makes it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and garden trails, as well as for use as a base layer beneath pavers or flagstone. Its fine texture also helps minimize tripping hazards and provides a comfortable walking surface. While it offers good drainage, the presence of fines means it may retain some moisture and can be less permeable than larger, clean aggregates. Overall, this material is valued for its balance of stability, ease of installation, and decorative appeal in both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
