Decorative Aggregate (Slate, Chips)

Decorative Aggregate - Slate Chips

Decorative aggregate in the form of slate chips is a premium landscaping material known for its unique texture and natural, elegant appearance. Slate chips are produced by crushing slate rock into thin, flat pieces, resulting in a lightweight yet durable aggregate with a distinctive sheen and color variation.

The slate attribute provides a rich, sophisticated look that enhances garden beds, pathways, and outdoor living spaces. Unlike rounded stones, the angular shape of slate chips helps them lock in place, reducing movement and providing better coverage. This makes them ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as mulching around plants, creating decorative borders, or surfacing walkways and patios. Slate chips are also low-maintenance, resist fading, and help with weed suppression, though their flat shape can make them less suitable for high-traffic areas where compaction is needed.
