Reviews

Elterwater in the hills of Langdale Valley in the heart of the Lake District.

This stone has a light green colour that brightens when wet and has the occasional natural red tones and white spa flecks.

Lakeland green slate is one of the hardest, most durable slates in the world as it is a metamorphic volcanic stone from the Ordovician period formed 450-500 million years ago.

The Lakeland green paddlestones are angular and relatively flat in shape and larger in size than 40mm slate chippings, ranging typically between 50 and 125mm in size. This makes the green slate paddlestones ideal for covering pond liners or as a grading element in rockeries.

The geological composition of Lakeland green slate paddlestones means they are unlikely to change the PH levels of ponds or soil and are therefore suitable for planting borders as well as alpine and rockery gardens, and a great choice for ponds and water features as it is fish friendly (wash before use).

The attached information includes a quality certificate which will show the consistency of the aggregates size grading. Many aggregate suppliers do not provide this or carryout these controls which means the aggregate can have significant proportions of very small pieces to dust. In addition the material performance report provides the geological composition of the aggregate, and its physical and chemical properties. 

Burlington Aggregates

Based at Barrow In Furness, Cumbria, Burlington Aggregates are experts in the extraction and processing of natural slate, limestone and sand aggregates from five Lake District quarries.

Burlington Aggregates

Elterwater Quarry

Our Westmorland Green slate aggregate is green in colour and in its environmental credentials, as it is processed from the quarry overburden and offcuts derived from the production of the roofing slate used on iconic historical buildings such as Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge, in London.

Elterwater Quarry

Location

The quarry is situated at the foot of the Langdale valley, Nr Coniston, Cumbria, where slate has been extracted since the middle of the nineteenth century. Elterwater is pale green in colour and is a metamorphic volcanic stone from the Ordovician period, and thus formed 450-500 million years ago. The geology of the rock means it is one of the most durable and hard-wearing natural stones available and as a result ideal for use in a wide range of applications such as roofs, paving, walls, and as an aggregate for driveways and various areas around a house or building.
