Gardening & Landscaping

Slate from Schmiedebach, as a design element, with its velvety elegant shimmering surface and its dark coloration, can be used to create your very own "feel-good oasis". At the same time, the slate material offers the user a variety of advantages, including as a mineral mulch material compared to conventional wood chip products.

Application areas

  • Covering material in planters (pots, tubs, etc.)
  • Covering material for planting areas (gardens, parks, inner-city planting, etc.)
  • General surface design
  • Design of garden paths and sidewalks
  • Splash guards on houses and buildings
  • Design of watercourses or water bodies
  • Elegant design accent - Black is beautiful

Features

  • Due to the flat grain shape and the slate's wight, it is very stable in position (cleaning, areas with slopes, wind, birds and small animals).
  • Rot resistant and therefore extremely inexpensive for its almost unlimited life span
  • Color and UV resistant
  • Frost and heat resistant
  • Storages heat and releases the stored heat to the plants during the cooler night periods
  • Shimmers velvety, especially in the rain
  • Low consumption for an area
