Decorative aggregates are a popular choice for homeowners and landscapers who want to add a touch of beauty to their outdoor spaces. From driveways to pathways and gardens, decorative aggregates can enhance the overall look of any outdoor area. However, with so many types of decorative aggregates available, it can be challenging to decide which one is right for your project. In this blog, we will explore the different types of decorative aggregates and their characteristics, so you can make an informed decision.

Here is a list of some of the most popular types of decorative aggregates:

1. Gravel
2. Pebbles
3. Slates
   

Lets have a more in-depth look into what these aggregates offer.

Gravel:
Gravel is a popular choice for driveways, paths, and garden borders. It is available in various sizes, shapes, and colours, making it easy to find a type that complements your landscape design. Gravel is an affordable and low-maintenance option that allows water to drain freely, preventing flooding and erosion. However, it can be challenging to walk on gravel without shoes, and it tends to scatter, so it requires periodic raking to keep it in place.

Pebbles:
Pebbles are small, rounded stones that come in a variety of colours, such as white, beige, grey, and black. They are ideal for creating a natural, beach-like feel to your outdoor space. Pebbles are perfect for decorative accents around water features, such as ponds or fountains, and they also make a great addition to gardens and walkways. Pebbles are easy to maintain and do not scatter, making them a perfect choice for areas with high foot traffic.

Slates:
Decorative slates are another popular type of decorative aggregate that can add a unique touch to your outdoor space. Slate is a metamorphic rock that is composed of clay, volcanic ash, and mica. Decorative slates are available in various sizes, colours, and textures, making it easy to find one that complements your landscape design. Slate can be used for a variety of landscaping applications, including garden paths, walkways, patios, and pool decks. It is a low-maintenance material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy foot traffic. Slate is also slip-resistant, making it a safe choice for outdoor areas.
