FAQ

What are Plum Slate Chippings?
Plum Slate chippings are small pieces of natural slate, graded into different sizes. They are a popular decorative stone available in a wide range of natural colours, allowing for creative effects in modern gardens. They are especially popular in minimalist gardens with more hard landscaping, where they add subtle colour all year round.

Plum Slate Chipping Benefits:

• Low maintenance

• Versatile and easy to lay

• Environmentally friendly

• Helps reduce weed germination

• Perfect for mulch

• Durable

• Looks fantastic wet or dry

Where are Plum Slate Chippings Used?
Plum Slate chippings are ideal for a wide range of outdoor features, including rockeries, water features, garden borders, edging, and ground cover. They can also fill gaps between slabs. Flat, smaller sizes can be walked on, making them suitable for stunning and practical walkways, patios, and driveways.

How much do I need for my garden?
Coverage depends on depth:

• 20kg Bag at 50mm depth – covers roughly 0.24 m²

• Bulk Bag (Approx 800kg) at 50mm depth – covers around 10 m²

Multiply by your garden area to estimate the number of bags needed.

Can it be used around water features?
Yes! Plum Slate works beautifully around ponds, fountains, or any water feature, adding both colour and texture.

Is it suitable for pathways?
Absolutely. Its angular texture provides stability and reduces movement, making it suitable for pedestrian pathways.

Does Plum Slate fade over time?
Being natural slate, colours remain vibrant, although they may weather slightly outdoors. Wet conditions temporarily enhance the deep plum tones.
