Decorative Aggregate, 3" Minus, Green

Decorative aggregate in a 3" minus size range and green color is a versatile construction material prized for its visual appeal and functional benefits. This aggregate consists of stones and fines up to 3 inches in diameter, offering a natural, earthy green hue that enhances landscaping and architectural projects. The "minus" designation means the material includes a mix of larger stones and smaller particles, which helps with compaction and stability.

The 3" minus size is ideal for applications where both drainage and structural support are important, such as garden pathways, landscape borders, and erosion control. Its substantial size makes it less likely to shift underfoot or wash away, while the green color provides a unique, decorative touch for residential gardens, commercial plazas, and public spaces. While the larger stones offer excellent durability and drainage, the inclusion of fines allows for better compaction, making it suitable as a base layer for patios or retaining walls. However, the rough texture and size may not be ideal for surfaces intended for barefoot traffic.
