This 750kg bulk bag covers large or small landscaping projects. The plum tones darken and shine when wet, so the garden looks richer every time it rains, and the slate is fish friendly for ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Slate Outshines Flat Gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain gravel can look dull and uniform, especially on a grey day. Plum slate brings deep, natural colour that becomes more intense when wet, so borders look polished after every shower. Because it is a natural product, expect some variation in colour and size, which gives a more authentic finish than a uniform aggregate. It is ideal for raised beds, borders and general landscaping, and its fish friendly nature makes it suitable around ponds and water features. A single 750kg bulk bag means fewer trips and fewer bags to dispose of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Plum Slate Chippings Work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour deepens when wet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rain turns the plum tones darker and glossier, adding life to borders in wet weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFish friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for ponds and water features, so you can dress the edges with confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose 20mm for finer borders and paths or 40mm for bolder, chunkier landscaping features and pond surrounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk 750kg bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 750kg arriving in one delivery makes larger landscaping projects simpler to plan and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\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\u003ePlum slate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrushed, naturally coloured slate pieces\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\u003eSize options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm, 40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaised beds, borders, general landscaping, ponds and water features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMore intense when wet; natural variation in colour and size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Landscaping Projects Big and Small\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread it between shrubs to give a newly planted border a finished look, or edge a pond so the water feature feels part of the wider garden.
