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.
Transform your outdoor space with the rich, contemporary tones of our 40mm Plum Slate Bulk Bag. Sourced from premium regional quarries, this highly popular decorative aggregate features flat, angular chippings that provide a sleek, modern finish to any landscaping project. Boasting deep purple and heather-pink undertones, plum slate offers a dynamic visual element for your garden. It displays a soft, subtle matte pastel look when completely dry, but truly comes to life when wet—deepening into an incredibly rich, reflective, and dramatic purple-indigo shade during rainfall.

Coverage
Approximately 10m2 per bag at a standard depth of 50mm.
Usage
Primarily used for decorative horticultural landscaping, 40mm slate's flat, interlocking surface makes it ideal for footpaths and walkways, offering a smoother, more navigable surface than rounded gravel. It is also commonly used for garden bed edging, mulching (with ground membrane to boost moisture retention and suppress weeds), building rockeries, and defining paved patios.
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.
