Slate Chips are a fine-grained decorative stone formed from compressed clay or volcanic ash subjected to heat and pressure over time. Their distinctive layered structure and natural gray coloration create a clean, modern appearance that complements both contemporary and traditional landscape designs.

The flat, angular shape helps the material stay in place better than many rounded gravels, making it a popular choice for landscape beds, pathways, and decorative accent areas. Slate Chips provide long-lasting beauty while requiring minimal maintenance compared to organic groundcover materials.
