Our Lake District Crushed Slate Chippings are a lovely alternative to the traditional gravel or stone driveway and is a great way to tidy up beds and borders.
Slate is available graded to either 20mm, which is suitable for any application, or 40mm which we only recommend for areas which will be looked at - not driven or walked on.
Lake District Crushed Slate is a fairly uniform tones of grey and dark blue shades, and you should expect to see beautiful white lines through the individual pieces. Looks black when wet, creating a striking modern finish!

Weeds
We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!
Gravel/Stone Size & Colour
Images are for representation only. All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary. Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.
