Purple Decorative Stone
Purple decorative stone is a fantastic way to add rich natural colour and texture to any garden. Home to our ever-popular Plum Slate, this category offers one of the UK's best-selling decorative aggregates. With its distinctive blend of purple, plum and subtle blue tones, Plum Slate creates a striking finish that complements both traditional and contemporary landscaping projects.
Plum Slate Chippings
Plum Slate is one of the most recognisable decorative aggregates available and remains a firm favourite with homeowners, landscapers and garden designers. Sourced from natural slate, the chippings feature attractive layered textures that become even more vibrant when wet, making them an excellent choice for adding colour and interest throughout the garden.
At Paving Place, our Plum Slate is available in both 20mm and 40mm sizes. The 20mm grade is ideal for garden borders, pathways and decorative areas, while the larger 40mm slate creates a bolder appearance that's perfect for feature landscaping, rockeries and larger planting schemes.
Where Can Plum Slate Be Used?
Plum Slate is incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of landscaping applications. It is commonly used for garden borders, planting beds, pathways, raised beds, rockeries, water features, ponds and around trees and shrubs. It also works beautifully alongside porcelain paving, natural stone patios and composite decking, helping create attractive transitions between different areas of the garden.
The angular shape of slate chippings also helps the stones interlock more effectively than rounded gravel, making Plum Slate a practical choice for many landscaping projects.
Low Maintenance Landscaping
Plum Slate is an excellent choice for creating low-maintenance gardens. When installed over a quality weed membrane, it helps suppress weed growth while reducing the amount of mowing, watering and general garden maintenance required. It provides year-round colour and structure, making it one of the easiest ways to transform an outdoor space.
Complete Your Landscaping Project
For the best results, we recommend installing Plum Slate alongside a quality weed membrane, gravel stabilisation grids where appropriate and garden edging to create clean, professional borders. These accessories help keep your slate looking tidy while reducing movement and ongoing maintenance.
