Flamingo Chippings 14-20mm (loose tip)

Description

Description

Our 14/20mm Flamingo Chippings are known for their pastel tones, including pinks, creams and greys, which only deepen as the material weathers or becomes wet. This material is a popular addition to our range and will brighten up any project by providing a soft, sophisticated Mediterranean vibe.

Flamingo Decorative Gravel is a blend of marble chippings in white, soft pinks, pastel oranges, blue and grey. These hues become stronger and more vibrant when the gravel is wet. Ideal for garden footpaths, driveways or in decorative landscaping applications.

Driveway Gravel

These 14-20 mm marble chippings are perfect for domestic driveways, with good compression, traction and drainage characteristics. Laying a driveway with 50 mm depth of gravel would provide approximately 9.7 m² coverage per bulk bag.

Garden Footpaths

As with driveways, Flamingo gravel is also very suitable for garden footpaths, with the angular stones “interlocking” to provide a degree of stability and rigidity that more rounded stones would lack. This stability means less dispersion and movement of the gravel as you walk on it, making it feel more secure and sure-footed. Garden footpaths will generally have less gravel depth than a driveway, so this will increase the coverage of this bulk bag (e.g. 16.2m² if the depth was 30mm).

Garden Features

The colourful and vibrant nature of Flamingo gravel means that it is great for visually defining spaces and areas. It can be used very effectively to highlight and emphasise garden features, drawing the eye where you want people’s gaze to fall and allowing them to “see” the garden the way it was intended.

Beds & Borders

Gravel can be added to garden beds and borders to provide two key functions; firstly it provides visual and aesthetic control to make plants and shrubs standout and liven up the “canvas”; secondly, it offers a more practical function, suppressing weed growth whilst providing good drainage.

Pots & Planters

Whether you use gravel as a topper in your planters and pots to help suppress weeds and provide a bit of visual oomph or you use it as a background canvas on which to place your planters and pots – gravel does make for a simple and effective means of providing a bit more visual appeal to your garden.
