3" minus: Is Ideal as a base layer for driveways prior to compaction when avoiding the use of a gravel sub-layer, or as mulch for garden beds when larger shell fragments are preferred.
3/4" minus: Is our most popular aggregate - great for walkways, patios, driveways, courtyards and fire pits.
3/8" minus: Is ideal on bocce courts for beginner to intermediate players, or on walkways and small French courtyards when finer shell fragments are preferred.
3/4" clean : Is clean and best used as a mulch for veggie gardens or flower beds when seeking a clean finish and look
- 1 cubic yard of the crushed shell is processed from 3-4 cubic yards of 100% whole oyster shell

Application & Maintenance
Oyster shell, sun-bleached white in color, continues to break down over time making the ground cover more compact and level. One yard will cover approximately 100 square feet at 2-3" depth.
When used on driveways, walkways, courtyards and patios we recommend a gravel base layer before the shell is installed. On application, the crushed oyster shell requires compaction allowing it to re-calcify making a hard, porous surface.
During and after compaction lightly spray the area with water.
