3" Slate Chips
great for:
Decorative Ground Cover - Provides a bold, textured look for large open areas or garden beds. Great for adding contrast against lighter-colored rocks or plants. Long-lasting and requires little to no maintenance.
Accent Around Trees, Shrubs, and Features - Ideal around large planters, trees, or water features. The larger size helps prevent displacement by wind or rain.
Erosion Control - Heavier and more stable than smaller chips — excellent for slopes, drainage swales, and hill sides. Reduces soil runoff while allowing water to percolate through.
Driveway and Pathway Borders - Commonly used along driveways, parking areas, and walkway edges for a strong decorative border. Not typically used on walkways due to its size, but perfect as an edging material.
Dry Creek Beds & Drainage Channels -Adds a natural look to dry riverbeds or drainage features. Helps control stormwater flow while enhancing landscape aesthetics.
Xeriscaping & Low-Water Designs -Perfect for drought-tolerant landscapes since it doesn’t decompose or require water. Pairs nicely with succulents, boulders, and other desert plants.
Around Retaining Walls or Structures -Used as a base or decorative backfill around block walls, fences, or garden borders for a finished look.
