Slate, the durable stone used for
construction is also available in the form of slate chips. Either
naturally occurring or mechanically chipped, these easy to use chips,
can be simply spread over the area, which needs to be covered. They can
be applied directly on top of grass or dirt. These are available in
various colors.
Usage
Slate chips are used as a base for paths and larger pieces as fences.
The naturally occurring slate chips are widely used as topside material.
Slate chips can also be used with a synthetic weed barrier to cut down
or eliminate weed growth. A barrier that allows water penetration is
recommended. To achieve attractive and professional looking results,
make sure to completely cover the barrier with a generous layer of slate
chips.
