The days are getting longer, the sun is shining a little brighter, and now is the perfect time to start preparing your garden for spring. Whether you want to create a low-maintenance outdoor space, enhance your flowerbeds, or add stylish walkways, decorative aggregates offer a practical and visually stunning solution.

At Mainland Aggregates, we supply a wide range of decorative aggregates, including gravel, pebbles, cobbles, and chippings, to help transform your garden. Here’s a closer look at what we offer and how each type can enhance your outdoor space.

1. Decorative Gravels & Chippings

Ideal for: Paths, driveways, and borders

Decorative gravels and chippings come in a variety of sizes, colours, and textures, making them a versatile choice for any garden project. As well as improving the appearance of your garden, they provide excellent drainage, making them perfect for areas prone to standing water.

For example, golden gravel or silver granite chippings can create a striking contrast with greenery while providing a durable, weather-resistant surface. Plus, they’re low maintenance—ideal if you want a stunning garden without the hassle of constant upkeep.

2. Decorative Pebbles & Cobbles

Ideal for: Water features, rockeries, and flowerbed edging

If you’re looking for a natural, coastal-inspired aesthetic, decorative pebbles and cobbles are the perfect choice. Larger than gravel, they are ideal for lining ponds and pathways or adding texture to rockeries.

At Mainland Aggregates, we stock a variety of pebbles and cobbles, including Scottish beach cobbles and silver speckled pebbles, allowing you to create a tranquil, elegant vibe in your garden. They are particularly popular for Zen gardens and decorative ponds.

3. Welsh Slate Chippings

Ideal for: Shrub beds, paths, and patio borders

For a sleek, contemporary look, Welsh slate chippings are a fantastic option. Available in shades of blue, grey, green, and plum, they add a touch of luxury to any garden.

Slate chippings help to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and create a polished finish for garden paths and patio borders. Their muted tones blend seamlessly with natural surroundings, making them a great choice for both modern and rustic gardens.

4. Blended Chippings

Ideal for: Decorative borders and garden beds

Blended chippings offer a unique, vibrant look by combining different colours and textures. They are perfect if you want to add a splash of colour without overwhelming the natural beauty of your plants.

At Mainland Aggregates, we offer a variety of blends carefully designed to suit different garden styles—whether you prefer warm, earthy tones or cooler hues, we have an option to match your vision.

Choosing the Right Aggregate for Your Garden

When selecting decorative aggregates, it’s important to consider the purpose:

• Creating a pathway? Gravel or slate chippings work best.
• Enhancing a water feature? Opt for pebbles or cobbles.
• Adding colour to flowerbeds? Blended chippings provide a vibrant touch.

Whatever your vision, Mainland Aggregates has a solution to bring it to life.
