STALITE® 5/16 Lightweight Aggregate

Short Description
STALITE® 5/16 is a lightweight expanded slate aggregate for bulk landscaping, drainage, planter, structural-fill, and specialty construction applications. Available by bulk dumpout, full SuperSack, or half-yard SuperSack.

Long Description
STALITE® 5/16 Lightweight Aggregate is a lightweight, durable expanded slate material used when drainage, reduced weight, and long-term stability matter. Its porous, angular particles help support air and water movement while weighing significantly less than conventional stone aggregate.

This versatile bulk material is commonly used in planters, raised landscape areas, green roofs, lightweight fill applications, drainage systems, engineered soil blends, and specialty construction projects. Unlike organic amendments, expanded slate does not decompose over time, helping maintain a stable, free-draining growing or fill medium.

STALITE® 5/16 is available for delivery by bulk dumpout, full cubic-yard SuperSack, or half-cubic-yard SuperSack. Contact us if you need help choosing the right quantity or delivery format for your project.
