Charcoal Black Slate Chippings 850kg Bulk Bag

Charcoal Black Slate Chippings 850kg Bulk Bag are an attractive, low-maintenance decorative aggregate ideal for creating smart, contemporary garden landscapes. Available in 20mm and 40mm grades, these recycled slate chippings provide a distinctive charcoal-black finish with subtle natural variations. The colour becomes deeper and more striking when wet, making them particularly effective around planting areas, pathways, rockeries, ponds and water features.

Slate chippings are easy to apply and their naturally angular shape helps the stones interlock once laid, keeping them securely in place. Used around plants, they can help reduce moisture loss, suppress weed and moss growth and keep the soil cooler, supporting healthier plant growth during warmer weather. They can also assist with surface drainage, while providing an attractive alternative to bark or other organic mulches. As a durable decorative aggregate, slate requires very little ongoing maintenance and is friendly to animals.

The 850kg bulk bag is suitable for larger landscaping and garden projects where a generous quantity of aggregate is required. Charcoal slate chippings can be used for garden paths, borders, flowerbeds, rockeries, alpine displays, plant pots and around ponds or water features. Choose the 20mm or 40mm grade depending on the desired appearance and application. As a natural recycled aggregate, variations in colour, shape and size can occur due to geological and processing differences.
