Silver Grey Chippings for Your Driveway

For driveways both big and small, many people opt for the lost-cost and low-maintenance option of decorative chippings. Grey Granite Chippings will easily lock together to form a strong and sturdy base that is perfect for withstanding people walking along it and moving cars. 

Chippings also make a very impressive-looking entrance to your home, especially when they are as stunning as our Silver Chippings! With the colours of Silver Grey being so neutral and understated, they are very easy to pair with and look particularly good in modern homes.  

Granite Chippings for Your Garden

Another very popular use for these Silver Grey decorative stones is using them as a feature within your garden. To break up different garden features, such as garden paving and turf grass, or fencing, it looks really effective to use decorative stones to create a colourful divide. 

These Silver Granite Chippings are also great for adding to natural or manmade ponds and are totally safe if you have wildlife within your pond due to their fish-friendly properties. Customers have also added them to natural rockeries and water features to add an extra bit of interest. Silver Chippings are known to sparkle in the light when wet which looks very impressive! 

How to Lay Silver Grey Chippings in Your Garden

Whether you're thinking of adding Silver Grey Chippings as a decorative garden feature or adding it as a drive or pathway around your home, this guide will give you all the hints and tips you need!

Most Landscapers would advise you to install a stable base for the decorative stone to be laid on. Limestone Type 1, also referred to as MOT Type 1, would be the best option, which is a graded, 40mm Limestone. 

The next step is to measure the area in which the chippings would go in, you can then use our Quantity Calculator to work out how much stone you'll need. We would suggest having a base of 50mm.

Dig out the desired area with a depth between 50mm - 150mm, ensuring this includes 50mm for your MOT Type 1 base and 50mm for your Grey Chippings.

Add your 40mm Limestone Type 1 to your dug-out area and ensure a minimum of 50mm is laid. Not only will this provide a durable base, but it will also aid drainage. 

We recommend installing a layer of Weed Fabric to ensure pesky weeds don't start coming through the fabric; these come in multiple sizes for you to choose from.

Once the weed fabric has been laid, you can start putting your Grey Chippings down! Remember to add this to at least a 50mm depth.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to our Decorative Stones being a naturally-sourced product, there will always be some variation from batch to batch, especially in terms of colour. On occasion, your garden stones may be very dusty; we recommend hosing your new stones down to wash them and reveal their true colour.
