Livingston Farm offers a wide variety of aggregates available for delivery, perfect for any landscaping project.

What Are Aggregates?

Aggregates are a blend of materials such as crushed stone, recycled asphalt, gravel, slate, limestone, granite, and other mined minerals. These materials are used in various architectural applications, including creating beautiful and functional landscapes. Landscaping aggregates are specially formulated to enhance the aesthetics and utility of your outdoor spaces.

Main Types of Aggregates for Landscaping

Gravel and Crushed Stone

Combining gravel with crushed stone like limestone creates an ideal mix for landscaping. This method has been used for years, allowing you to tweak the size and composition to fit your design goals perfectly.

Sand

Sand aggregates, consisting of fine sandstones, are excellent for children’s playgrounds, recreational facilities, and sports surfaces due to their soft texture and good drainage properties.

Top Soil

Top soil aggregates, a mix of sand and compost, are typically used for general lawn repair or mixed with soil for plants needing extra hydration.

Benefits of Using Aggregates in Your Landscaping Project

Easy to Create Walkways and Borders

Aggregates can be used to create durable and aesthetically pleasing walkways, driveways, and borders. Colored aggregates can match or complement your home’s style, and combining them with other larger decorative stones can achieve a modern yet classic look.

Simple Maintenance

Once laid out, landscaping aggregates require minimal maintenance. You only need to manage weed growth and occasionally top up the aggregates, making them a long-lasting solution.

Natural Drainage

Aggregates like top soil can manage water flow and drainage, especially on sloped properties. Top soil retains water where needed, while sand promotes free water flow.

Affordable Pricing

Aggregates are among the most cost-effective landscaping materials. Their durability and low maintenance make them a smart long-term investment.

Wide Range of Sizes and Colors

From fine sand to larger stones, aggregates come in various sizes and colors, allowing for creative and unique landscaping designs. Using multiple sizes can create an uncommon yet beautiful style for your landscape.

How to Choose the Right Aggregates

Choosing the right aggregate involves understanding the needs of your landscape. Consider these points:

Purpose

For drainage, use permeable aggregates like crushed rock. For walkways, choose stable options like decomposed granite. For decoration, explore colorful gravel or glass.

Size

Larger stones for drainage, smaller ones for walkways. Angular stones for stability, rounded ones for smoothness.

Look & Feel

Consider color, texture, and how they complement your surroundings.

Practicalities

Think about maintenance, safety, and local availability.
