Decorative Aggregate - Granite, 3/8" Minus, Tan

Decorative aggregate in a 3/8" minus size, composed of tan granite, is a premium landscaping and construction material known for its durability and natural beauty. This aggregate is produced by crushing and screening granite rock, resulting in a blend of particles up to 3/8" in size, including fines. The "minus" designation means the mix contains both small stones and fine granite dust, which helps the material compact tightly.

The 3/8" minus size is ideal for creating stable, smooth surfaces, making it a popular choice for pathways, patios, and garden beds. Its compactability also makes it suitable as a base layer for pavers or flagstone installations. The tan color offers a warm, natural look that complements a variety of landscape designs. Pros include excellent compaction, reduced dust compared to unwashed materials, and a decorative finish. However, the presence of fines means it may not drain as quickly as larger, clean aggregates, so it's best used where stability and appearance are priorities.
