Red Flame Chippings for your Garden Feature

As well as being a strong and sturdy stone, Red Flame Chippings are also highly versatile in their uses. People have previously created decorative garden features with these colourful stones, as a low maintenance area that also gives you something bright to look at. Another use is a striking garden border where these granite chips would look great paired with Artificial Grass or Garden Paving.

Red Flame Chippings are also completely fish-friendly, so adding them to a garden pond, whether it's natural or manmade, is a really good idea.

How to Lay Lanark Red Chippings

Thinking of adding Red Flame Granite Chippings to your garden? Then you'll be pleased to know that it's a nice and easy job that could be completed by your everyday, experienced DIYer! For the best hints and tips, read our how-to guide below.

For a garden feature that doesn't sink over time, and for a path or drive that maintains its stability, we recommend installing a stable sub-base to start with. Limestone Type 1, also referred to as MOT Type 1, would be suitable, which is a graded, 40mm Limestone. You could also use a Grid Stabiliser for extra stability.

Ensure you size up the area that you'd like your decorative stones to go; you can then use our Quantity Calculator to work out how much stone you'll need. We would suggest having a base of 50mm.

Dig out the desired area with a depth between 50mm - 150mm, ensuring this includes 50mm for your MOT Type 1 base and 50mm for your Red garden stones.

Add your 40mm Limestone Type 1 to your dug-out area and ensure a minimum of 50mm is laid. This step is really important as it will also aid drainage underneath your stones. 

We recommend installing a layer of Weed Fabric to ensure pesky weeds don't start coming through the fabric; these come in multiple sizes for you to choose from.

Once the fabric has been laid, you can start putting your Red Flame Chippings down! Remember to add this to at least a 50mm depth.  

PLEASE NOTE: Due to our Decorative Stones being a naturally-sourced product, there will always be some variation from batch to batch, especially in terms of colour. On occasion, your garden stones may be very dusty; we recommend hosing your new stones down to wash them and reveal their true colour.
