Enhance your outdoor spaces with our red granite chippings, perfect for making a bold statement with colour. This 20mm naturally quarried gravel boasts consistent, deep red hues due to its high feldspar and iron oxide content, and darkens to a rich, dynamic shine when wet. Its finish complements both brick-built traditional and contemporary properties and creates a stunning contrast against green lawns and planted borders. The angular stones interlock more securely than rounded aggregates, providing stable surfaces for walking and driving.
Red granite stone is extremely durable and hard-wearing, thanks to its mineral composition, which includes high levels of quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is more resistant to weathering and less likely to chip or break under mechanical stress, making 20mm red granite chippings a long-lasting choice that generates less dust than softer aggregates like limestone. This mean it’s ideal for driveways and high-traffic areas, where its toughness ensures the integrity of the aggregate even under heavy vehicles.
The pH of 20mm red chippings ranges from neutral to very slightly acidic, making it safe to use around plants without risking their health. While our products may arrive dusty due to the bagging process, washing away the dust reveals gravel that is safe for aquatic life and suitable for use around ponds and water features.
Please note that red granite stone is a natural product, showing a deep red color when dry that darkens when wet, with variations in color and size. Our tonne bags contain stones ranging from 10mm to 20mm in size.
