FAQs

Are these stones safe for my fish pond?

Yes, these red granite chippings are fish-friendly and safe for use in water features and ponds.

Can I use these for a driveway?

Yes, the 14mm angular size is ideal for driveways as the stones interlock to create a stable, durable surface.

Do the stones change color?

The stones naturally deepen in color and appear more vivid when they are wet.

How deep should I lay the chippings?

We recommend a depth of 30mm to 50mm for most landscaping applications to ensure full coverage.

Why do some bags look slightly different?

As this is a natural granite product, some slight color variation between batches is normal.

Do I need to wash the stones before use?

Rinsing is recommended, especially for water features, to remove quarry dust and enhance the natural color.

Troubleshooting

Stones appearing dusty or dull

Rinse the chippings with a garden hose after installation to wash away natural quarry dust and reveal the stone's true color.

Weeds growing through the surface

Ensure a high-quality landscape fabric or weed membrane was installed beneath the stones; if not, you may need to clear the area and add one.

Surface feels unstable or ruts easily

The sub-base may be insufficient for the weight applied; ensure at least 50mm of a compacted aggregate base exists beneath the top layer of chippings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Interlocking 14mm size provides excellent stability
  • Deepens in color when wet for an enhanced aesthetic
  • Completely fish-friendly and safe for water features
  • Suppresses weeds when applied at the correct depth
  • Suitable for both residential and commercial projects

Cons

  • Natural variations in stone color between different bags
  • Granite may require cleaning of dust before pond installation
  • Heavy bags require significant manual labor to distribute
  • Not suitable for areas with very soft ground without a sub-base

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, clear the ground of existing debris and vegetation before application. If you are using the chippings for a driveway or heavy-traffic path, we recommend laying a solid sub-base of MOT Type 1 to ensure stability. For aesthetic borders, a depth of 30mm to 50mm is generally sufficient to achieve full coverage. While the stone is durable, it may occasionally need raking to redistribute the chippings after heavy foot or vehicle traffic. Because these are natural stones, rinsing them after installation will reveal their true, vibrant color and remove any residual dust from transit.
