Slate Chips for the Garden

Natural slate chips are ideal for flowerbeds, borders, paths, and garden decorations. They are a durable material, have a modern aesthetic, and act as an excellent weed-control mulch.

Why choose slate chips?

Slate chips offer numerous benefits over traditional gravel or other mulching materials. Let's see what they are.

Elegant Decorative Appearance

Slate is naturally flat and angular, a characteristic that gives it a modern and clean style. Its black/anthracite, blue, green, and plum colors are particularly intense when wet, especially after rain.

Excellent Weed Control Mulch

Applied in a 50–75 mm layer, preferably over a mulch sheet, slate chips prevent weed growth by blocking sunlight.

Soil Temperature Regulation

Thanks to their structure, they absorb heat during the day and release it gradually, protecting plant roots from temperature changes.

Improved Water Retention

They help keep the soil moist longer, limiting evaporation and reducing the need for frequent watering.

pH-Neutral Material

Unlike conventional materials, slate chips are highly resistant to watering. Limestone, slate is chemically inert and does not alter the soil's pH, making it ideal for almost all types of plants.

Highly Durable

Being a resistant and compact rock, it does not deteriorate, does not pulverize, and is not easily displaced by wind or rain.

Below is a summary of the main advantages of using slate chips.

Decorative: intense colors that stand out when wet.
Weed control: effective with mulch fabric and a thickness of 5–7 cm.
pH neutral: safe for all plants.
Durable: does not degrade, excellent stability over time.
Versatile: perfect for paths, flowerbeds, ponds and Zen gardens.
