- Slate Chips
At 1” or 3” sizes, these irregular and multi-hued small slate chips from our Placerville mine are perfect for ground-cover or laying tiled walkways. One of the advantages of using Chili Bar black slate chips is that the stone is pH neutral. It will not change soil pH, which is fantastic news for landscapers. In addition, slate chips tend to lay flat, which makes for a fairly smooth walking surface. Click here to learn more about our slate products.
