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, natural look.




The 3" minus sizing is ideal for projects requiring substantial load-bearing capacity and effective compaction, such as base layers for driveways, parking areas, or large-scale landscaping features. The inclusion of fines helps the material lock together, reducing voids and improving stability, while the larger stones add strength and texture. This makes it suitable for both residential and commercial applications where durability and aesthetics are important. However, the presence of fines means it may not be the best choice for drainage-focused projects, as water permeability is reduced compared to clean, uniformly sized aggregates.
