Aggregate Samples
We offer product samples of all our decorative aggregates and slate chippings on the product pages. They are priced at £3.96 which includes delivery via the Royal Mail. This can be helpful if you would like to see a product before ordering a large amount. However even after ordering a sample there could be a slight difference between that and the next batch that could make up your main purchase.
Decorative stone is a naturally occurring product which can lead to variations in colour and texture. It’s impossible to guarantee an exact match with gravel or slate chippings from a previous purchase. We would always recommend raking a new gravel evenly over the old surface to help blend colours that might not be a perfect match. It's also worth bearing in mind that products in bags often contain some dust and sediment which can affect how the aggregate or slate looks. This will be rectified over time after it's been rained on a few times, but the best thing to do is use a hosepipe and give the laid gravel or slate a good wash.
All our decorative stone product pages have photographs showing both wet and dry versions of the product. Depending on whether the product is wet or dry there can be a big difference in its appearance. Certain products may look better dry but some will look better wet. This can influence your purchase depending on the look you are trying to achieve. The photographs are a fair representation of the products which have been subjected to multiple washes to remove the dust they are often covered in.
