Decorative garden chippings are a versatile, low-maintenance choice for paths, borders, driveways, planting areas and landscaping projects. Our range includes slate chippings, granite chippings, marble, quartz and decorative gravel in a variety of colours and sizes, making it easy to create both contemporary and traditional garden designs.

Choosing Garden Chippings

Slate chippings are particularly popular for borders, pathways, planting areas and decorative garden features. Available in colours including plum, grey and green, slate provides a natural textured finish and works well alongside planting, paving and stone features.

Other decorative chippings, including Black Ice, White Marble, Rose Quartz, Arctic Champagne, Alpine Blue, Arctic Silver, Golden Granite and Black Granite, offer a wider choice of colour and texture for landscaping schemes.

For most decorative areas, 20mm chippings provide a neat, versatile finish, while larger sizes can create a bolder appearance and provide additional coverage in larger spaces.

Chippings for Paths, Borders & Driveways

Decorative chippings can be used for garden paths, borders, driveways and areas around planting. Preparing the ground correctly helps create a longer-lasting finish. A suitable sub-base and weed membrane may be required depending on the application, with edging helping to keep the stone contained.

For vehicle areas, always choose a stone and installation method suitable for driveway use.

Self Binding Gravel

Self binding gravel provides a more compact, natural-looking surface for garden paths, walkways, courtyards and other landscaped areas. Once laid and compacted correctly, the finer particles bind together to create a firm surface while retaining the appearance of natural gravel.

A well-prepared sub-base is important for achieving a stable finish. The gravel should be laid evenly, compacted thoroughly and maintained periodically to keep the surface level and tidy.

How Much Chipping Do I Need?

The quantity required depends on the area being covered and the finished depth. Decorative chippings are commonly laid at approximately 40–50mm depth, although requirements vary depending on the stone and application.

For larger landscaping projects, calculating the area in square metres before ordering will help you choose the correct quantity.
