Our 40mm Plum Slate Chippings are recycled in the UK from the roofing industry. The deep plum colour offers a striking and bold appearance, adding character to any garden. The flat, angular shape gives a contemporary, stylish finish while helping to retain moisture in borders and planters, yet still allowing water to pass through to support plants and wildlife.Due to green slate being a naturally quarried product, there may be slight variations in formation, size, colour or shape - including a natural red-ish vein.
