Washed Shell in a 1.5" Size Range

Washed shell in a 1.5" size range is a natural aggregate material composed of crushed and cleaned seashells, primarily in a light brown hue. The washing process removes dust, dirt, and organic debris, resulting in a cleaner, more visually appealing product that is less likely to compact or retain unwanted odors.

The 1.5" size offers excellent drainage properties, making it ideal for applications where water flow is important, such as driveways, walkways, garden beds, and landscape borders. Its larger size also helps prevent displacement from wind or rain, while the washed attribute ensures minimal dust and a tidier installation. Commonly used in both residential and commercial landscaping, washed shell is valued for its natural appearance, low maintenance, and eco-friendly qualities. However, its larger size may make it less suitable for surfaces requiring a smooth, compact finish.
