Weather Effects on Plum Slate Colour

Visual Transformations with Moisture

The appearance of Plum Slate Chippings changes with the weather. When dry, they display a pastel hue, while wet chippings become shiny and darker, providing a contemporary and striking effect in any outdoor setting.

Key Tips for Installing Plum Slate

When ordering from Gravel Base, ensure accurate calculation of the area to be covered. Due to their flat nature, these chippings are easy to spread, but proper base preparation is crucial for optimal results. Laying a weed membrane beneath the chippings can enhance their effectiveness in suppressing weeds and maintaining a tidy landscape.

Please note that the stones are measured at the narrowest point. The sizes used on the page therefore refer to the technical measurement. Because the gravel is measured at the narrowest point, the actual size may vary slightly.
