FAQs

How much area does one 20kg bag cover?

Coverage depends on the depth, but one bag generally covers approximately 0.25 to 0.3 square meters at a depth of 50mm.

Can this be used on a driveway?

It is not recommended for high-traffic driveways as the larger 30/50mm pieces can shift under heavy vehicle pressure.

Is the color consistent?

As a natural stone, color may vary slightly between bags due to natural variations in the quarry.

Do I need to put fabric underneath?

Yes, using a weed-suppressant membrane is highly recommended to prevent the slate from sinking into the soil and to stop weeds.

Can I use this in a fish pond?

It is suitable for the edges of a water feature, but ensure it is washed thoroughly of all dust before placing it near or in a pond.

Troubleshooting

Color appears dull or dusty upon arrival.

This is common with natural slate; simply rinse the product with a hose after placement to reveal the vibrant natural colors.

Weeds are appearing despite the slate.

Ensure a proper landscape membrane was installed underneath; if not, you may need to clear the area and add a fabric barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides a high-end, elegant visual impact for garden designs.
Stones lock together well for a stable walking or decorative surface.
Excellent for suppressing weeds in landscaped areas.
Durable enough to handle various weather conditions.
Helps keep soil cool and moist for plants.

Cons

Colors may vary between batches due to the natural origin of the slate.
Not suitable for high-traffic areas due to the larger, angular profile.
Must be purchased in 20kg increments, which may require calculation for large areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clear the area of existing weeds and debris. Lay a high-quality landscape fabric down to prevent the slate from sinking into the soil and to further prevent weed growth. Pour the 20kg bags evenly and rake smooth. Since this is a natural product, it is recommended to wash the slate with water after installation to remove any natural stone dust, which will reveal the true, vibrant plum and grey colors. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can alter the natural composition of the rock.
