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. The "minus" designation means the mix includes both the larger pieces and finer particles, resulting in a compactable blend that locks together well.
This specific size is ideal for creating smooth, stable surfaces, making it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and garden beds in residential landscaping. In commercial settings, it's often used for decorative ground cover, walkways, or as a base layer beneath pavers. The fine particles help reduce voids, improving compaction and minimizing shifting over time. However, the presence of fines can make drainage less efficient compared to larger, washed aggregates. Overall, 3/8" minus decorative aggregate offers an attractive, easy-to-work-with solution for both aesthetic and functional outdoor projects.
