If you're looking for an affordable way to enhance the appearance of your garden, granite chippings could be the answer. These chippings come in a variety of colours and finishes and have a sleek, modern appearance. Moreover, they are long-lasting, weather-resistant, and have a range of practical applications. At KJ Bromell, we are big fans of granite chippings and believe they can bring a lot of benefits to your garden.
Granite chippings are a popular type of decorative stone used by landscapers for various purposes such as creating driveways, garden features, and borders, or for tidying up garden beds. These chippings come in a range of colours. For instance, the red colour variant is made using molten lava from within the earth's crust. Manufacturers crush the chippings into small stones that are easy to place in your garden or driveway.
Granite chippings are a type of eroded igneous rock that can be used to cover garden flower beds. They offer protection to the plants around them by helping with drainage and preventing overwatering. Since they are a natural rock, they are softer compared to harsher gravel or wood chip alternatives and prevent the formation of puddles and stagnant water after heavy rainfall.
Granite chippings are also an effective solution for weed prevention without the use of chemical weed killers. They are heavy enough to prevent weeds from growing upwards, making them much more efficient than other forms of gravel. For optimal weed growth prevention, we recommend laying around three to five inches of granite chipping which should ensure that there is no room for weeds to grow.
