FAQs

What is the recommended depth for applying Green Slate Chippings?

A depth of 2-3 inches is generally recommended for optimal coverage and weed suppression.

Are these chippings suitable for use in a pond?

Yes, Green Slate Chippings are safe and suitable for use in ponds and water features.

How do I calculate how much chipping I need?

Calculate the area you want to cover (length x width) in square feet. Then, multiply that area by the desired depth in feet (e.g., 3 inches = 0.25 feet). This will give you the cubic feet needed. Use an online calculator or contact a landscaping supplier for further assistance.

How do I maintain the color of the chippings?

Raking the chippings periodically exposes fresh surfaces and enhances the color. The color will also be more vibrant when wet.

What type of delivery service is provided for pallet quantities?

For pallet quantity deliveries, kerbside carrier service is provided only. The carrier is unable to lift items over fences or other barriers.

Can I use these chippings with other types of aggregates?
