Q: What are decorative aggregates and how are they used in the garden?
A: Decorative aggregates are small stones like gravel, slate, pebbles, and chippings used in gardens and landscaping. They're ideal for paths, borders, driveways, and features like rockeries or water features. Available in various colours and textures, they are a cost effective, low-maintenance option and can help to improve drainage and control weeds.

Q: What’s the difference between decorative garden stones and garden aggregates?
A: Decorative garden stones typically refer to individual materials like pebbles or cobbles, while garden aggregates is a broader term that includes stones, gravel, chippings, and slate used for landscaping and garden projects.

Q: How do I choose the right colour of decorative garden stones?
A: The best colour depends on your garden style. White decorative garden stones offer a clean, modern look, while blue decorative stones for gardens add a bolder, contrasting touch. Browse by colour and material on our site to find the perfect match.

Q: What sizes do decorative garden stone chippings come in?
A: Decorative chippings typically range from 6mm to 40mm. Smaller sizes are ideal for paths and garden borders, while larger sizes are better for features like edging or driveways. You can narrow down your search by filtering for stones by their size. 

Q: How much decorative aggregate do I need?
A: This depends on how big your space is and the type of stone you’re choosing. As a general rule, one bulk bag (approx. 850kg) covers around 10-12 square metres at a 50mm depth. Use our gravel coverage calculator or speak to our team for help estimating your requirements.

Q: Do you offer bulk buying options for garden aggregates?
A: Yes, we offer bulk bags ideal for larger garden or trade projects. Buying in bulk is often more cost-effective, saving you on delivery costs and ensuring you have the right amount to complete your project.

Q: How do I lay decorative aggregates?
A: For borders, start with a weed membrane to reduce maintenance, then spread your decorative aggregate evenly across the area. Rake to level and compact if needed. For driveways or heavy-use areas, a stable sub-base is essential, and you can use gravel rings or gravel grids to prevent your decorative aggregates from moving and spreading.

Q: Can decorative chipping be used for garden borders?
A: Absolutely. Decorative chipping is ideal for decorative garden edging stones or as an alternative to traditional borders. It helps define spaces while adding texture and colour.

A: We stock a wide range, including:

• Granite

• Gravel

• Limestone

• Marble

Most of our decorative aggregates can be bought in plastic poly-bags, usually 20 - 25kg for smaller projects, or in bulk bags, which are a minimum of 850kg and are delivered locally by our fleet of crane wagons.

Q: Are decorative garden stones suitable for both DIY and trade projects?
A: Yes, whether you're sprucing up a garden at home or working on a large-scale landscaping job, our decorative garden stone chippings and aggregates are suitable for all levels of experience and project sizes.

Q: Can I use decorative aggregates around plants?
A: Yes, decorative aggregates help retain soil moisture, reduce weeds, and improve drainage. Just ensure there’s enough space around plant stems to prevent rot.
