Decorative Aggregate (3″ Minus)

Decorative Aggregate in a 3” Minus Size Range

Decorative aggregate in a 3" minus size range is a versatile construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel, with individual pieces measuring up to 3 inches in diameter and including smaller particles down to fines. This gradation provides a stable, compactable base while still offering a visually appealing, textured surface.




The 3" minus size is ideal for projects requiring substantial load-bearing capacity and effective drainage, such as base layers for driveways, parking areas, and access roads. Its larger stone content ensures excellent stability and resistance to shifting, while the inclusion of fines helps the material compact tightly, reducing voids and movement over time. This makes it suitable for both residential and commercial applications where durability and aesthetics are important. However, due to its coarse texture, it may not be the best choice for finished surfaces where a smoother appearance or barefoot comfort is desired.
