Decorative Aggregate - Mini Slate

Mini slate decorative aggregate is a finely crushed natural stone product, prized for its unique texture and subtle, elegant appearance. Sourced from high-quality slate, this aggregate is processed into small, uniform pieces, making it ideal for projects where a refined, contemporary look is desired.

The mini size ensures excellent coverage and allows for intricate detailing in landscaping and hardscaping applications. Its slate composition provides a rich, natural color palette and a flat, angular shape that helps the material stay in place, reducing maintenance. Common uses include garden pathways, decorative borders, planter bed mulching, and accent features in both residential and commercial landscapes. The mini size is also gentle underfoot, making it suitable for walkways and patios. While it offers excellent drainage and weed suppression, it is not recommended for high-traffic driveways or areas requiring heavy compaction.
