What are Decorative aggregates?
Decorative aggregates are a versatile, simple, and cost-effective way of revitalising or transforming your outdoor space. This may be a patio area, driveway, pathway, water feature, border or flower bed. They are a hardwearing and low maintenance feature, meaning that you can set them in place and not have to think about them again for a long time. Decorative aggregates not only look great, but they can also be an additional element of security as they make a noise when a vehicle or person crosses them.
| Decorative aggregate | Features and benefits | Ideal uses |
|---|---|---|
| Cobbles and Pebbles | Naturally rounded stones with smooth surfaces. Their appearance is enhanced by sunlight, and they develop a bright, glossy finish when wet. | Water features, rockeries and landscaping projects. |
| Stone chippings and Garden gravel | Smaller sized aggregates available in a variety of styles. They can be used loose for decorative purposes or, are often mixed with cement. | Garden borders, pathways and driveways, depending on the aggregate type and installation method. |
| Slate chippings | A stylish decorative aggregate that adds texture and visual impact to outdoor spaces, with an attractive sheen when wet. | Garden borders, landscaping and decorative garden features. |
Each of our aggregate types are available in a variety of colours and hues to compliment every space and style. For more information on decorative aggregates, pop into your local Howarth branch and our friendly teams will be happy to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard bag and a bulk bag?
A standard bag is approximately 25kg, and a bulk bag is approximately 800kg.
Which aggregates are best for driveways?
We have a wide variety of different types of aggregate at Howarth. For example, we have: Crushed stone and manufactured sand, gravel, which can be used for both garden and decorative aggregates, sand, which can be used for roads, and recycled concrete which is often used as a base layer for other construction materials.
Which aggregates are best for pathways?
We recommend angular gravel sized between 14mm-20mm for greatest stability as these aggregates interlock under car tyres rather than moving around like pebbles.
What type of gravel do I need for under concrete slabs?
We would recommend a Type 1, as it is a subbase used to create a hardcore base for under patios, paving and driveways.
Can aggregates improve drainage?
Yes, by creating pockets for water to drain through, preventing water logging and erosion. Whether used in flower beds, as plant toppers or for French drains, aggregates are porous and interlocking, which means that water will not pool on top of the surface.
