The Deco-Pak Charcoal Chippings are designed for homeowners and landscapers looking to achieve a sleek, modern aesthetic in their outdoor spaces. Ideal for driveways, rockeries, and garden borders, these 20mm stones offer excellent weed suppression and drainage benefits; however, users should be aware that the product may arrive with a light film of natural sediment that requires a period of rainfall to reveal its full, rich black color.

Typically, a bulk bag of this size covers approximately 10-12 square meters at a standard depth of 50mm.
While suitable for paths, for steep driveways, consider using permeable grids to prevent the stones from migrating downward.
Yes, these are natural stones and are chemically inert, making them perfectly safe for use in flower beds and around trees.
No, it is not necessary to wash them. The natural sediment will be removed by rainfall.
As these are natural stones, the color is inherent to the rock and will not fade like dyed alternatives, though it may become dusty over long periods.
This is natural sediment; rainfall will wash this away naturally, revealing the deep black color.
Ensure a high-quality weed membrane was installed beneath the stones; if not, you may need to clear the area and add one.
Add a layer of sub-base material (such as crushed aggregate) and a membrane before re-laying the charcoal chippings.
Before laying the chippings, it is highly recommended to install a heavy-duty landscape fabric or weed membrane underneath the area. This prevents the stones from sinking into the soil over time and provides an extra layer of protection against weed emergence. Ensure the base is level and firm to maintain an even spread.
For care, these chippings are largely maintenance-free. Because they are a natural stone, they do not require cleaning agents; simply rake them periodically if the surface becomes uneven due to foot traffic. If the stones appear dull, a simple hose-down or a rainy day will immediately restore the deep black luster of the material.
