Troubleshooting

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces with its stunning white color.
  • Provides a durable and long-lasting decorative solution.
  • Easy to install, saving time and effort.
  • Helps to suppress weeds, reducing the need for manual weeding.
  • Improves drainage, which is beneficial for plant health.
  • Requires minimal maintenance, making it a convenient choice for homeowners.

Cons

  • A film of sediment may be present initially, requiring natural washing to remove.
  • The bulk bag size (750kg) may require special equipment for handling and spreading.
  • The white color may show dirt or stains more easily than darker aggregates.
  • Not suitable for all landscaping projects (e.g., areas requiring high load-bearing capacity).
  • Requires careful planning of the area to be covered to ensure adequate quantity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clear the area of any existing vegetation, debris, and ensure the ground is level.
  2. Laying: Spread the chippings evenly to your desired depth (typically 3-5cm).
  3. Compaction: Lightly compact the chippings to settle them in place. This is not always necessary, but it can help.
  4. Compatibility: Suitable for use with weed membrane to further suppress weed growth. Ensure the membrane is properly installed before laying the stone.
  5. Care: Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically remove any larger debris or leaves. As this is a natural material, rainfall will naturally wash away any sediment that may be present.

Important: Ensure you have the necessary equipment to handle and move the bulk bag safely. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
