Product Information

Full details

Flamingo Chippings are ideal for homeowners and landscapers seeking a versatile, decorative aggregate that combines aesthetics with structural stability. This blend of peach, pink, white, and bluish-grey stones provides an attractive, natural sparkle in the sun and deepens in color when wet, making it perfect for driveways, rockeries, and garden borders. While the angular 14-20mm profile offers excellent interlocking stability for high-traffic areas, users should note that the stones require a weed-suppressant membrane beneath them to prevent vegetation growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your flamingo chippings, follow these installation guidelines: First, clear the intended area of all existing vegetation and debris. Lay a high-quality weed-suppressant fabric to prevent unwanted plant growth from emerging through the gravel. Spread the chippings evenly to a depth of approximately 40-50mm to provide full coverage without excessive sinkage. Maintenance is minimal; simply rake the surface occasionally to maintain a level appearance and remove any leaf litter or debris that may accumulate over time.
