Plum Slate Chippings 20mm Bulk Bag

Unlike traditional gravel, Plum Slate Chippings offer a bold splash of colour that transforms garden and landscape projects. Their angular 20mm size allows the pieces to knit together, forming a stable, attractive surface that is low-maintenance and weather-resistant.

When dry, the slate has soft grey and heather shades; when wet, the colour deepens to a dramatic plum, making it a versatile option for year-round appeal. This decorative aggregate is equally at home in contemporary garden schemes and cottage-style landscapes.
