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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Real Slate Beats Dyed Gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat This Bulk Bag Brings to Your Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour that deepens in rain:\u003c\/strong\u003e the slate becomes more intense when wet, so grey British days actually show it at its best.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFish friendly stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for ponds and water features, letting one material link beds and water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo grades to choose:\u003c\/strong\u003e order 20mm for neat, finer coverage or 40mm for a bolder, chunkier landscaping finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk bag delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 750kg arrives in one bag, ready to barrow out across large or small areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Slate Chippings Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBowland Stone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen slate chippings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrushed natural green slate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBag weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 750kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm, 40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximate piece size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAppearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDarkens and shines when wet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable uses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaised beds, borders, general landscaping, ponds, water features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural variation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSome variance in colour and size expected\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for Gardeners Planning a Big Refresh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are reshaping borders or edging a new pond this season, one bulk bag keeps the whole project in the same stone.

Bowland Stone describes this slate as fish friendly, making it suitable for ponds and water features.
