Decorative Aggregate - Mini Slate Chips

Mini slate chips are a premium decorative aggregate, crafted from natural slate and processed into small, angular pieces. Their compact size makes them ideal for detailed landscaping work, offering a refined, modern look with a subtle sheen unique to slate. The chips are durable, weather-resistant, and maintain their color over time, making them a long-lasting choice for both residential and commercial projects.

The mini size allows for smooth coverage and easy installation in tight spaces or intricate designs, such as garden pathways, planter beds, and around water features. Slate's natural flatness helps the chips lock together, reducing movement and providing a stable surface. This aggregate is also popular for use as a mulch alternative, helping to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture without decomposing. While mini slate chips are not ideal for high-traffic driveways due to their small size, they excel in decorative applications where aesthetics and low maintenance are priorities.
