Decorative Aggregate with Drainage Attribute

Decorative aggregate with a drainage attribute is a versatile construction material designed to enhance both the functionality and appearance of landscaping and hardscaping projects. Produced from natural stone or gravel, this aggregate is carefully selected and processed to ensure optimal water flow, making it ideal for areas where effective drainage is essential.

The drainage attribute means this aggregate is less likely to compact tightly, allowing water to pass through easily. This makes it an excellent choice for French drains, garden beds, and around foundations, where preventing water accumulation is critical. In addition to its practical benefits, decorative aggregate adds visual appeal to pathways, patios, and landscape borders. While its loose structure promotes drainage, it may shift underfoot and is not recommended for surfaces requiring high compaction. Overall, this material is valued for its balance of aesthetics and performance in both residential and commercial settings.
