Small Washed Shell

Ranging in size from 1/2″ pieces and down, small washed shell is our most popular shell for mulch alternative, pathways and decorative areas.

Available at All Big Earth locations

Medium Washed Shell

Whole pieces of washed shell ranging in size from 1-3″. Medium Washed Shell has the potential to contain pieces of limerock, due to the screen size in the screening process. Medium shell is most popular in driveway or parking lot applications where it will receive more foot or vehicular traffic.

Available at Big Earth Bradenton, Palmetto & Sarasota

Color of Washed Shell

Just as the name states, both small and medium shell is washed during the screening process. There will still be “pit dust” as we affectionately call it, because it is an aggregate and is mined from the ground. Washed shell is predominately white, but ranges in color from tan to grey throughout. You can expect washed shell to look dirty at first, but once the material is installed, it will lighten up to a vibrant white color and smaller pieces will move to the bottom.
