Why use decorative stones?

Also known as decorative aggregates, decorative stones are incredibly versatile, being suitable for a wide range of landscape projects, from driveways and pathways to plant borders and water features. These aggregates are available in a large selection of sizes, colours and shapes plus, require very little to no maintenance.

The most popular decorative stone colours.

   

Multi-coloured stones. 

Multi-coloured aggregates are highly popular types of aggregates. These are a striking alternative to monochrome aggregates and will brighten any outdoor space. We stock a variety of multi-coloured stones, from 20mm flamingo chippings to rustic gabion stone.

   

20mm flamingo chippings feature a mixture of peach, blue, white, gold and grey shades and tend to maintain their colour when wet or dry. Rustin gabion stone is an angular stone that consists of brown, white, black and buff shades. Our 20mm gravel is also a great choice. The gravel colour will vary depending on your location. In case you are trying to match the existing gravel on your property, contact us before ordering.

Scottish stones also come in a multitude of shades, from grey tones to brown shades and more. We supply 20-40mm Scottish pebbles, 50-80mm Scottish cobbles and 80-120mm Scottish cobbles. These are naturally rounded stones and will stand out in wet conditions.

   

Pink stones.

    

From 20mm pink granite chippings to 20mm Staffordshire pink gravel, pink-coloured stones are on the top of the list of the most popular shades of decorative aggregates. For a darker colour, we also supply 20mm red granite chippings. These aggregates feature beautiful shades of pink that will be perfect to create stunning footpaths and driveways.

Grey stones.

   

As a neutral colour, grey will suit any outdoor space no matter what other colours you might have. Some of our most popular grey aggregates include 20mm Dove grey limestone chippings and Dove grey gabion stone. These can be used for borders, footpaths, driveways and a variety of landscaping projects.

Our 40mm graphite grey slate chippings are also stunning grey stones but these feature the odd gold fleck. These turn dark grey when wet. We also supply charcoal basalt gabion stone which features a dark grey colour when dry but turns black when wet. York gabion stone is a lighter alternative to our darker grey stones. this stone features a mixture of grey and cream shades.

   

Purple stones.

Purple aggregates are great to add a splash of colour to any outdoor space. Our 40mm plum slate chippings and our 20mm plum slate chippings feature a pale and subtle colour when dry but when wet, these feature bright and striking light and dark purple shades.
