What Are 40mm Plum Slate Chippings?
Plum Slate Chippings are flat, angular pieces of natural slate, typically sourced from quarries in North Wales. The 40mm variant refers to their average size - although actual pieces may range between 15mm and 40mm due to the nature of quarried stone. Known for their rich plum colour, which deepens when wet, these chippings are widely used in decorative landscaping projects.
Available in bulk bags, this format provides a cost-effective, convenient solution for covering large areas, ensuring consistent quality, easy transport, and minimal packaging waste. Whether you're creating paths, borders, or mulching garden beds, 40mm plum slate offers durability, striking colour, and long-term performance.
Why Choose Plum Slate Chippings?
- Bold Colour: Natural purple and plum hues provide contrast in any garden or hardscape design. Colour darkens when wet for added impact around water features or after rain.
- Durability: Natural slate is hard-wearing and weather-resistant, ideal for exposed or high-traffic areas.
- Consistent Quality: Bulk bags ensure uniformity in size and colour across your project.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Less plastic waste compared to multiple smaller bags.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike bark or gravel, slate won’t degrade or discolour quickly.
- Versatility: Suitable for borders, driveways, paths, beds and rockeries.
- Cost-Efficiency: Buying in bulk significantly reduces the per-unit cost.
Applications
- Garden Borders: Enhances visual definition while helping retain soil moisture.
- Driveways: Suitable for light vehicle traffic when laid over an adequate sub-base.
- Paths & Walkways: Comfortable underfoot; creates a contemporary, natural surface.
- Beds & Borders: Acts as an effective mulch to suppress weeds and regulate soil moisture.
- Rockeries & Patios: Contrasts beautifully with paving and planting in alpine or Mediterranean-style gardens.
Installation & Maintenance
Installation Tips:
- Prepare the area: clear weeds, level the ground
- Install edging to keep slate contained
- Lay weed membrane (recommended for long-term weed suppression)
- Spread the slate evenly
- For paths or driveways, consider a compacted sub-base underneath
Maintenance Tips:
- Rake occasionally to maintain an even surface
- Rinse to remove dust and enhance colour
- Top up as needed, especially in high-traffic areas
