Lakeland Green Slate Chippings 20 MM

Lakeland Green Slate Chippings are direct from the quarry at Broughton Moor in the heart of the Lake District. This stone has a light green colour which brightens when wet and has the occasional flecks of a white spa. The shape is angular and relatively flat, which means it is perfect for garden slate chippings.

Lakeland Green Slate Chippings are known to be one of the world's hardest, most durable slates as it is a metamorphic volcanic stone from the Ordovician period that was formed 450-500 million years ago. The geology of the rock means it is also ideal for domestic driveways, paths or parking spaces.

Additional key features of 20mm Lakeland Green Slate Chippings are:

• They offer lower maintenance, which saves you time compared to other garden landscaping products and is ideal for weed prevention as the slate will help maintain the moisture in your soil during long hot summer spells.
• The metamorphic geological composition of green slate chippings means they are unlikely to change the PH levels of ponds or soil and are therefore suitable for planting borders and alpine and rockery gardens.
• This slate is also a great choice for ponds and water features and is fish friendly (wash before use).
• This slate has a lower carbon footprint than most other decorative aggregates sold as we deliver direct from the quarry.

PLEASE NOTE: Bulk bags of 20mm Lakeland Green Slate Chippings are 900kg from Stone & Surfaces Direct, (many other suppliers offer 700-800kg under the term bulk bag). With Stone & Surfaces Direct, you get 7.5 - 15% more slate chippings.

Order Cancellation Policy:

You may cancel your order, but you must notify us within 12 hours of order placement via phone or email as orders are typically sent out next working day.

Once cancellation is confirmed, a full refund will be issued within 14 days. If your order has already been despatched or delivered, our standard returns policy will apply. 

⚠️ Orders cannot be halted once despatched, as they travel through the courier’s network to a local depot closest to you days before your designated delivery date.

Please note:

• Bespoke or custom orders are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled once confirmed.

• We recommend retaining any surplus material, as natural stone and slate may vary in tone and texture, and exact matches are not guaranteed on reorders.
  

Returns & Refunds Policy:

You may return goods in their original, undamaged condition for a refund of the purchase price, minus return shipping and any applicable delivery surcharge based on your postcode.

• Returns must be requested within 7 days of receiving your order.

• Products must be securely repalletised and protected to prevent damage during transit.

Important Notes:

• For non-aggregate orders (e.g. paving, tiles, bespoke stone), a restocking fee may apply. This covers the cost of handling, inspection, and reintegration into stock.

• Returns that do not meet our return conditions may be rejected or subject to deductions from the refund.

For non-aggregate orders (e.g. paving, tiles, bespoke stone), please note we do recommend that a minimum of 5% is allowed within your order for potential breakages that may occur within the delivery process. While in most circumstances these can be used for custom cuts and applications, we will, within this criteria, provide replacements free-of-charge where appropriate to enable customers to complete their projects.
