FAQs

Can I use these on a steep driveway?

While these stones are angular and interlock well, very steep driveways may still cause stone migration. Consider using a grid-based gravel stabilizer system for steep inclines.

How much area does one bulk bag cover?

Coverage depends on the depth of the layer, but generally, one bulk bag is designed to cover approximately 10-12 square meters at a depth of 50mm.

Are these safe for fish ponds?

Dolomite is generally stable, but always rinse the stones thoroughly before adding them to a water feature to remove any fine dust or quarry residue.

Do I need to wash the stones after delivery?

It is common for there to be some dust from the manufacturing process. A quick rinse with a hose once laid will bring out their true, brilliant white color.

Will these fade in the sun?

Being natural marble stone, they are highly UV resistant and will not fade in color like dyed aggregates.

Can I walk on these barefoot?

Because the stones are angular, they are not recommended for areas where you intend to walk barefoot, such as immediate pool surrounds or patios.

Troubleshooting

Stones are losing their brightness due to mud/soil accumulation

Clear away weeds and topsoil. If stones are heavily soiled, wash them with water or use a leaf blower to remove light organic debris.

Stones migrating into nearby grass or soil

Install a rigid garden edging system such as timber, steel, or stone to create a physical barrier between the chippings and softer ground.

Weeds growing through the aggregate layer

Ensure a high-quality, permeable landscape fabric was used. If not, you may need to clear the area and lay the membrane beneath the stones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, high-contrast visual appeal
  • Durable enough for driveways and paths
  • Glistens effectively in wet conditions
  • Versatile for both decorative and structural use
  • Brighter appearance compared to standard limestone

Cons

  • Requires maintenance to keep the bright white color clean
  • Angular stones may be uncomfortable for bare feet
  • Can look dull if covered in heavy tree debris or soil
  • Requires landscape fabric underneath to prevent weed growth

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Polar White Chippings, start by preparing the ground with a professional-grade weed control fabric. This prevents organic matter and soil from mixing with the stones, which helps maintain their bright white color for longer. For driveway installations, ensure a base of compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate is laid first to provide a stable foundation. Maintenance involves periodically raking the stones to redistribute them evenly. If the chippings become dirty over time, you can refresh their appearance by spraying them down with a garden hose to wash away dust or accumulated residue.
