FAQs

What is the recommended depth for laying the chippings?

A depth of 2-3 inches is generally recommended for driveways and high-traffic areas.

Are these chippings suitable for pathways?

Yes, they are suitable for pathways, offering an attractive and durable surface.

Will the chippings fade over time?

The chippings are made from durable quartzite stone. While some weathering may occur, the color should remain relatively stable.

How do I calculate how much I need?

Estimate the area (length x width) in square meters and multiply by the desired depth in meters (e.g., 0.05 meters for 5cm). This will give you the approximate volume needed.

What kind of delivery service is offered?

For pallet quantity deliveries, we only provide a kerbside carrier service.

Do the chippings come in different sizes?

These particular chippings are 14-20mm in size.

How should I handle weed growth?

Use a weed membrane beneath the chippings to prevent weed growth. Regular raking can also help.

Troubleshooting

Chippings appear to be dusty.

Rinse the chippings with water to remove any dust and reveal their true color.

Color appears different after rain.

This is normal. The color will change when wet and return to its original appearance when dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the area is properly prepared. Remove any existing materials and level the ground.
  2. Laying: Spread the chippings evenly over the prepared surface to the desired depth. A depth of 2-3 inches is typically recommended for driveways.
  3. Maintenance: Rake the chippings occasionally to maintain an even surface and prevent weed growth. Consider using a weed membrane underneath to further reduce weed issues.
  4. Compatibility: These chippings are compatible with most landscaping projects. Ensure the base is suitable for the intended use (e.g., compacted sub-base for driveways).
  5. Care: Natural products can have variations in color and are subject to further color changes when wet. This is a normal characteristic of the product and adds to its natural beauty.
