Bowland Stone Green Slate 750kg Bulk Bag
Bowland Stone green slate chippings are crushed, naturally coloured slate pieces for gardeners who want borders, raised beds and pond edges to look finished rather than bare. One bulk bag holds approximately 750kg, so a whole planting scheme can be dressed in a single delivery. The stone has a cool, mossy tone that sits beautifully beside ferns and grasses, and after a downpour it darkens and shines, giving the garden a fresh, polished look.
Why Real Slate Beats Dyed Gravel
Painted or dyed gravel can fade and chip until the base colour shows through, and uniform pea shingle rarely adds much character. These pieces are natural green slate, so the colour runs right through the stone rather than sitting on the surface. Expect gentle variation in shade and size from piece to piece, which is exactly what makes a border look established. Bowland Stone lists it as fish friendly, so the same chippings can run from the flower bed straight into a pond margin or water feature, with no switch of material at the water's edge.
What This Bulk Bag Brings to Your Garden
- Colour that deepens in rain: the slate becomes more intense when wet, so grey British days actually show it at its best.
- Fish friendly stone: suitable for ponds and water features, letting one material link beds and water.
- Two grades to choose: order 20mm for neat, finer coverage or 40mm for a bolder, chunkier landscaping finish.
- Bulk bag delivery: approximately 750kg arrives in one bag, ready to barrow out across large or small areas.

FAQs
Q: Will green slate chippings keep their colour outdoors?
A: This is naturally coloured slate, so the colour belongs to the stone itself rather than a coating. It looks more intense when wet and lighter when dry, and as a natural product some variation in colour and size between pieces is normal.
Q: Is it safe to use around a garden pond?
A: Yes. Bowland Stone describes this slate as fish friendly, making it suitable for ponds and water features. Many gardeners rinse any decorative stone before placing it in water to wash away dust from crushing and handling.
Q: How soon will my bulk bag arrive?
A: Your 750kg bag is booked for swift UK dispatch once the order is confirmed, then handed to a dependable courier service for the delivery leg. We will keep you updated so you can plan where the bag is set down.
