Order Slate ChippingsBefore installing Plum Slate Chippings you’ll need to decide where you want to put them. They look great around trees and shrubs, or you can use them to create a path or patio area.
Once you’ve decided on the location, mark out the boundaries with some stakes and string. Then, using a shovel or spade, remove any turf or soil within the marked area and replace it with a layer of sand or gravel. This will help to level the ground and make it easier to work on.
Now it’s time to start laying the chippings. Pour them onto the area one bucket at a time and use a rake or shovel to spread them out evenly.
Make sure that each chip is sitting on top of the sand or gravel so that it doesn’t move around once it’s been covered with soil.
If you’re creating a path, you’ll need to make sure that the chippings are nice and compacted so that people can walk on them without sinking into the ground.
And that’s it! You’re done!
