Product Overview
Buff Cotswold chippings produced from carboniferous limestone quarried in the Cotswolds.
Their natural colour palette ranges from pale cream through buff to honey, brightening shaded areas and creating a clean contrast against planting and paving.
Crushed to an angular shape, the chippings lock together, delivering greater stability than rounded gravel. This makes them well-suited to paths, drives (with a prepared sub-base), borders, and decorative ground cover.
Their free-draining nature and low maintenance requirements make them a practical and economical choice for landscaping projects of all sizes.
Features & Benefits
- Warm buff-to-honey colouring: Creates a bright, natural surface that complements a wide range of designs.
- Natural stone variation: Each load has unique tones and textures for an authentic finish.
- Angular particle shape: Improves surface stability by locking together more securely than rounded gravel.
- Free-draining aggregate: Allows water to pass through easily, reducing puddling and surface water issues.
- Weed suppression with membrane: Minimises upkeep by limiting unwanted growth.
- Low-maintenance surface: Requires only occasional raking and top-ups to stay neat and level.
- Cost-effective in bulk: Bulk bags reduce cost per m² compared with smaller pack sizes.
Applications
- Paths and walkways: Provides an attractive, firm surface for light to moderate foot traffic.
- Driveways with compacted sub-base: Suitable when laid over MOT Type 1 to reduce movement and compaction.
- Borders, beds, and rockeries: Decorative cover that helps suppress weeds and retain a clean appearance.
- Water features and ponds: Enhances edges and surrounds with natural colour contrast.
Installation Guidance
- Prepare and level the base: Remove vegetation, debris, and ensure adequate drainage.
- Install a permeable weed membrane: Prevents regrowth while allowing free water movement.
- Spread evenly to required depth: Compact lightly to improve stability and reduce migration.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Crushed carboniferous limestone, angular in form, naturally occurring and subject to colour variation.
- Performance characteristics: Permeable aggregate suitable for decorative surfacing; may generate dust during transport, which washes off after installation.
