Decorative Aggregate - Medium, Shell, Washed

Medium-sized decorative aggregate with a shell composition and washed finish is a premium landscaping material prized for its natural beauty and clean appearance. Sourced from coastal regions, these aggregates consist of crushed or whole shells that have been thoroughly washed to remove dust, salt, and organic debris, ensuring a bright, attractive look and minimal residue.

The medium size strikes a balance between visual impact and practical coverage, making it ideal for garden beds, pathways, and accent borders. The shell attribute adds a unique coastal charm and reflects light, brightening outdoor spaces. The washed finish reduces dust and makes the aggregate safer for barefoot traffic and less likely to compact, promoting good drainage. Commonly used in residential landscaping, commercial plazas, and decorative features, this material is valued for its low maintenance and natural aesthetic. Note that shell aggregates may be less suitable for high-traffic driveways due to their lighter weight and potential for breakage under heavy loads.
