Decorative Aggregate - Oversize

Decorative aggregate with an oversize attribute is a premium construction material composed of larger-than-standard stones, typically sourced from natural rock and processed for uniformity. The "oversize" designation means these stones exceed typical aggregate dimensions, making them especially striking for visual impact and functional applications.

The larger size of oversize decorative aggregate enhances both aesthetics and performance. Its substantial presence makes it ideal for high-visibility landscaping features, garden borders, dry creek beds, and accent areas in both residential and commercial settings. The increased size also means it is less likely to migrate or be displaced, offering long-term stability. However, due to its bulk, it is not suitable for compacted base layers or surfaces requiring smoothness underfoot. This aggregate is best used where bold texture and low maintenance are desired, providing excellent drainage and a dramatic, natural look.
