Troubleshooting

Sediment Film on Slate

Allow natural rainfall to wash away the sediment. This is a normal occurrence with natural materials.

Rake the slate to redistribute the chippings and create a level surface.

Weed Growth

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the area is cleared of existing vegetation. Lay down a weed membrane to prevent weed growth.
Installation: Spread the Plum Slate evenly to the desired depth (typically 50mm). Rake to achieve a smooth and even finish.
