Blue Slate Chippings - 20mm - Bulk Bag

Yes, these blue slate chippings are fish-friendly and can be safely used in and around ponds.

Coverage depends on the depth of the layer, but typically a bulk bag covers approximately 10-12 square meters at a depth of 50mm.

The stone shows a range of colors including grey and green, but the blue and plum tones are most vibrant when the stone is wet.

While it can be used for light-duty garden paths, it is generally recommended to use more robust, crushed stone for high-traffic vehicle driveways.

It is good practice to rinse the stones thoroughly with a hose before placing them in an established pond to remove any quarry dust or dirt from the bag.

Wash the chippings with clean water from a garden hose to remove excess quarry dust and enhance the natural color.

Ensure a proper landscape geotextile membrane is installed underneath the chippings to provide a barrier against weed growth.

Use a heavy-duty grid stabilization system underneath the slate to prevent sliding and maintain a level, stable surface.
