The 40mm size suits borders and flower beds, rockeries, water features and pond edging, pot toppings, and decorative dressing around patios and planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSlate lies differently from rounded gravel. The pieces are flat and plate-like, so they settle into overlapping layers that give good coverage for the volume used and knit into a close, even surface. Over a weed membrane, those layers block light from the soil beneath and keep weed growth down while still letting water drain through freely. The green colouring is natural to the stone rather than applied, and it deepens noticeably when wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGreen slate is the quieter of the slate colours. Where blue slate contrasts with planting, green blends into it, sitting comfortably with foliage, ferns, and shaded woodland-style beds, and looking particularly natural around ponds and water features. At 40mm the pieces are large and bold, better suited to wider beds and larger features than to containers, where the finer 20mm grade gives a neater finish. A depth of around 40mm to 50mm is usually sufficient for decorative use. Slate is not suitable for driveways, as the flat pieces fracture under vehicle weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecification:\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-link lnkChangeSection\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"accordion\" class=\"product-page__accordian\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"collapse_specs\" class=\"collapse show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-page__spec-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-page__spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong Rake Spar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Home \u0026 Trade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55403674206535,"sku":"DECAGG050","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7759\/6999\/files\/Longrake_Green_Slate_Chippings_40mm_Bulk_Bag.jpg?v=1791879136","url":"https:\/\/homeandtrade.co.uk\/products\/longrake-green-slate-chippings-40mm-bulk-bag","provider":"Home \u0026 Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
