Grey Granite Chippings 11-16 mm (Grey Mix)

These elegant grey chippings, sized 11-16 mm, are a very popular choice, especially for driveways. The neutral grey color complements almost anything, making it a versatile option also found in flower beds and courtyards. What sets grey chippings apart is the greater variation in color compared to other types of granite. The light shade allows for a beautiful play of colors, revealing some of nature’s own tones, including subtle hints of pink and white. Additionally, when dry, the stones have a slight sparkle, glistening like tiny crystals. This unique color effect is a big reason why these chippings are so popular.

Note: The size of the chippings is always measured by their smallest dimension.

How Thick Should the Layer of 11-16 mm Grey Granite Chippings Be?

When laying these grey chippings, we recommend a minimum layer of 5 cm. For garden beds, a thicker layer is preferred. However, in driveways, be cautious not to lay too much, as it may cause tires to get stuck. A 5 cm layer will ensure proper coverage, and if you need to top up later, we always supply the same type if you reorder.

1 m³ of grey chippings covers about 20 m².

Where to Use 11-16 mm Grey Granite Chippings?

These grey granite chippings are often used in driveways due to their 11-16 mm size (measured at the narrowest point). The size is perfect for this use because it's large enough not to get caught in car tires but still small enough to be comfortable to walk and cycle on.

In garden beds, grey chippings are also popular, though other sizes may be used depending on the desired look. Grey granite chippings are available in four different sizes, each offering a distinct visual appeal.

How to Prevent Weeds in Granite Chippings?

Granite chippings are generally effective for minimizing weed growth, especially when placed in areas with regular foot or vehicle traffic. The sharp edges of the chippings cut through roots, limiting their spread. However, these same sharp edges can be a disadvantage if weeds manage to take hold. For this reason, we always recommend using a weed barrier wherever possible. It is the most reliable method for preventing weeds. Choose a high-quality fabric like ours, as it will last for many years. Cheaper, cloth-based weed barriers tear easily and do not offer long-term protection.

Grey Stone Dust Under Granite Chippings

For a more premium solution, consider adding grey stone dust beneath the grey chippings in addition to using weed control fabric. This is especially useful in garden beds, providing the best possible defense against weeds, saving you from the hassle of constant maintenance.

Delivery of Granite Chippings

Given their weight, it's essential to have your granite chippings delivered as close as possible to where they will be used. We have some of the best drivers in the country, delivering our Maxibags and providing exceptional service to thousands of customers each year. We prioritize customer satisfaction by offering flexible delivery options, both in terms of equipment used and delivery speed.

We Offer Three Different Delivery Methods

Standard Delivery

Our standard delivery, also known as "sidewalk/driveway," is the best option if you want your Maxibag placed on the road, by the curb, on the pavement, or just inside your driveway. This delivery method is free. We recommend including specific placement instructions in your order so the driver can navigate accordingly.

Delivery with Mobile Forklift

This delivery option is ideal if you need your Maxibag transported using a self-driving forklift with pneumatic wheels. Our driver will arrive with a truck that has a special forklift attached to the back. The forklift can be detached and used to move the bag to your desired location. It can operate on solid surfaces like stones, gravel, dry grass, asphalt, and dirt roads. It is also frequently used for deliveries in garden allotments, where larger trucks may have difficulty accessing.

Our forklifts are about 2.5 meters wide and 2.8 meters high. We avoid driving on paved surfaces, as the weight may cause damage, and the same applies to grass and other delicate surfaces.

Crane Delivery

This delivery method is ideal if you need your Maxibag of granite chippings lifted over a fence or hedge. It’s also useful for reaching areas where the product needs to be lifted over an obstacle into, for example, a garden. Our driver will arrive with a truck equipped with a crane to place the product exactly where you need it.

Please be aware that crane trucks require ample space. From the main road to the delivery location, there must be a clearance of 4.5 meters in height and 4 meters in width. The crane can extend up to 7-8 meters away from the truck.
