Our 40mm Plum Slate (Mini Bag) is a high-quality decorative aggregate featuring rich shades of purple, plum, and grey. This striking natural slate adds depth, texture, and colour contrast to gardens, borders, and pathways. Its durable, weather-resistant properties make it a long-lasting and low-maintenance choice for any landscaping project.
Product Features/Specifications:
Sourced from premium slate quarries, each chipping is approximately 40mm in size and naturally flat, allowing it to sit neatly together for a smooth, uniform finish. The slate’s deep plum tones intensify when wet, creating a vibrant and eye-catching feature in any outdoor setting. Supplied in a convenient mini bag, it’s ideal for small landscaping tasks or topping up existing areas.
Detailed Product Benefits:
The 40mm Plum Slate offers both aesthetic and functional advantages. Its natural angular shape helps it interlock when laid, providing stability while allowing for excellent drainage. Resistant to frost and sunlight, it retains its colour and form year after year. As a natural by-product of the slate industry, it’s also an environmentally sustainable choice. When used with a suitable membrane, it helps suppress weeds and reduce maintenance across garden spaces.
