Installation & Care

For a stable and attractive result, consider the following installation recommendations:

1. Prepare a stable base: Allow for a 50–75mm compacted base appropriate for the site conditions.
2. Add bedding sand: Use approximately 20–30mm of bedding sand beneath each stone to assist with levelling and support.
3. Plan the spacing: Allow approximately 10–20mm between stones where suitable for your layout, adjusting to suit the design and walking pattern.
4. Allow for drainage: Maintain a slight fall where appropriate to help prevent water from pooling around the stones.
5. Prepare surrounding areas: Weed mat beneath adjacent gravel or decorative pebbles can help reduce weed growth and maintenance.
6. Rinse periodically: Clean the stones with water to remove dirt and garden debris.
7. Use suitable cleaning products: Avoid harsh cleaners and use pH-neutral products suitable for natural slate.
8. Consider sealing: A suitable penetrating sealer may help improve stain resistance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test a small area first.

Ensure each stone is properly supported and installed on a suitable base for its intended use.
