Decorative Aggregate - Medium Slate Chips

Medium slate chips are a type of decorative aggregate crafted from natural slate, carefully crushed into uniform, medium-sized pieces. The slate's unique texture and subtle sheen provide a sophisticated, modern look, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.

The medium size strikes a balance between coverage and stability, ensuring the chips stay in place while allowing for easy installation and maintenance. This size is ideal for garden pathways, mulch replacement, accent borders, and around water features, where it helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Slate chips are also valued for their durability, resistance to fading, and low maintenance requirements. While they offer excellent drainage, their angular shape means they are less comfortable for barefoot areas but provide good traction and erosion control.
