Grey Slate Chippings

Add interest and intrigue to your garden with Corker’s range of decorative aggregates. We stock an impressive choice of types, sizes and colours, so you’re sure to find the perfect products to turn your landscaping aspirations into reality.

Use one type to create a uniform theme, use two or three in different areas to create contrast, or think totally outside the box and mix products together!

All of our gravel, pebbles, shingle and chippings have a long lasting mulching effect. A layer of stones will insulate soil and improve drainage in cold, wet weather, and provide root shade and aid water retention in hot weather. Hard mulches are also brilliant at stopping weeds in their tracks, meaning you have more time to spend on the gardening jobs you enjoy.

Our decorative aggregates are suitable for driveways, paths, borders, rockeries, water features and much more.
