Coverage
Approximately 10 to 12m2 per bulk bag at a recommended depth of 50mm.
Usage
A versatile aggregate mainly used for backfilling drainage trenches, pipeline bedding, soakaways, and French drains due to its high hydraulic conductivity. It is also utilised in groundwork, blended with sharp sand and cement to produce fine concrete or smooth screeds.
Our 20mm Blue Slate Chippings are sustainably recycled in the UK from the roofing industry. The rich blue colour adds a bold, contemporary touch, bringing vibrancy to any garden. The flat, angular shape not only creates a sleek, modern appearance but also helps retain moisture in borders and planters while allowing water to drain through, supporting both 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.
MOT Type 1 has crushed gravel stones that form the granular sublayer for road surfaces and pathways. Hardwearing, this gravel provides a load bearing stable layer and a flat surface prior to laying paving or hard standing areas. The fine mixture also ensures minimal voids in the sublayer when compacted.
