Decorative Aggregate (Washed, Whole, Shell)

Decorative Aggregate - Washed, Whole Shell

Washed, whole shell decorative aggregate is a natural material composed of intact seashells that have been thoroughly cleaned to remove sand, dirt, and organic debris. The washing process ensures a bright, clean appearance and minimizes dust, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

The whole shell form provides a unique, coastal aesthetic that stands out in landscaping and hardscaping projects. Because the shells are not crushed, they create a textured, eye-catching surface that is both decorative and functional. Common applications include garden beds, walkways, patios, and as a top dressing for planters or tree rings. In commercial settings, washed whole shell aggregate is often used for themed landscaping, public gardens, and event spaces.

Pros of this material include excellent drainage, low maintenance, and a distinctive look that resists compaction. However, the irregular shape of whole shells may make them less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface. Overall, washed, whole shell decorative aggregate is a versatile choice for adding natural beauty and coastal charm to a variety of projects.
