The weight can be up to 80kg.</p> <p><strong>If you want to choose the exact stone for your project please visit our Bespoke Monolith and Hollolith Range on <a href="../../../category/select-your-own">https://decorativeaggregates.com/category/select-your-own</a></strong></p>', 'expanded_text' => '', 'flash_block' => null, 'flash_block_outline_colour' => null, 'flash_block_is_active' => false, 'additional_title' => '', 'additional_text' => '', 'additional_button_title' => '', 'additional_button_url' => '', 'pre_basket_info' => null, 'aside_title' => null, 'aside_text' => null, 'mix_design' => null, 'tab_base_build_ups' => null, 'tab_application_method' => null, 'tab_technical_info' => null, 'technical_spec' => '', 'addon_products_text' => null, 'suitable_for' => '', 'not_suitable_for' => '', 'sash_colour_id' => null, 'sash_message_id' => null, 'no_gravel_calculator' => true, 'display_only' => false, 'admin_only' => false, 'flag_order' => false, 'nofollow' => false, 'is_grouped_product' => false, 'no_loose_load_message' => true, 'google_feed_title' => '', 'google_feed_description' => '', 'exclude_from_feed' => false, 'is_poa' => false, 'is_featured' => false, 'on_homepage' => false, 'hide_background_image' => false, 'hide_background_image_on_mobile' => false, 'show_options_as_dropdown' => false, 'qualifies_for_gravelx_upsell' => false, 'show_gravelx_aside' => false, 'show_samples_configurator' => false, 'upsell_specific_sizes' => false, 'is_active' => true, 'is_removed' => false, 'created' => '2015-02-16 13:42:30', 'modified' => '2026-02-03 09:58:44', 'in_stock' => true, 'lowest_price' => '137.00400' ), 'VatRate' => array( 'id' => '1', 'rate' => '20.0', 'name' => 'Standard Rate', 'is_active' => true, 'created' => '2015-01-21 15:09:18', 'modified' => '2015-01-21 15:09:18' ), 'SashColour' => array( 'id' => null, 'name' => null, 'hex' => null, 'text_hex' => null, 'created' => null, 'modified' => null, 'is_active' => null ), 'SashMessage' => array( 'id' => null, 'name' => null, 'created' => null, 'modified' => null, 'is_active' => null ), 'AggregateSize' => array( 'id' => null, 'name' => null, 'sequence' => null, 'created' => null, 'modified' => null ), 'ProductVariant' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'BackgroundImage' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'ListingImage' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'SampleImage' => array(), 'AsideImage' => array(), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'ProductAttributeOption' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'SecondaryPlant' => array(), 'ProductFaq' => array(), 'RelatedCategory' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'RelatedBrand' => array(), 'RelatedProduct' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'MetaData' => array( 'id' => '260', 'model' => 'Product', 'model_id' => '85', 'title' => 'Slate Hollolith 600mm (2ft) Slate Stone | Decorative Aggregates ', 'description' => 'Slate Hollolith 600mm (2ft) - a lovely large Welsh slate Hollolith in tones of grey, green or plum.

Large garden boulders work beautifully as a central focal point of a rockery and establish height and dimension. Smaller sized boulders can be closely arranged in to groups of twos or threes. Slate rockery such as </span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong><span> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span> can also be placed along the outline of a rockery to form a stylish framework.<br /><br /></span></li> <li><span><strong>Borders</strong> - </span><span>Boulders and rockery are often used alongside <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">decorative gravels & aggregates</a></strong> to create visually pleasing garden borders and planting beds and divide up bigger spaces to establish entirely new areas within your garden. <br /><br /></span></li> <li><span><strong>Water Features</strong> - </span><span>Using boulders in a water feature is an easy way to instantly add a magical designer touch. You can be as imaginative as you’d like - why not arrange two boulders to create a miniature valley for directing the flow of a stream or place individual stones on the water for a ripple effect? There are so many options!<br /><br /></span></li> <li><span><strong>General Landscaping</strong> - </span><span>Boulders can be placed in a variety of different ways including single focal points or grouped clusters and can be as simple or as intricately arranged as you please. Perhaps you’re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children’s play area - the options are limitless. For stability, we advise burying around ¼ of the boulder’s height with the heavy side facing down.<br /><br /></span></li> <li><span><strong>Slate Walling</strong> -</span><span><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling"><strong> Slate Walling</strong></a> is durable and simple to maintain and slate wall stones are specially handpicked for creating retaining walls, barbeques or stylish pond borders.</span></li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr"><span>Boulders & Slate Rockery Colours</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>There is an incredible difference between rockery and boulders.

Resin Bound and Resin Bonded are very distinct:</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bonding</span><span> applies a loose gravel finish to a resin bonding coat. This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat. </span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p> <h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn’t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p> <p dir="ltr">Driveways</p> <p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p> <p dir="ltr">Patios</p> <p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p> <p dir="ltr">Steps</p> <p dir="ltr">Parks</p> <h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks – there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute. As a SUDS (Sustainable Urban Development Systems) compliant solution, new drives don’t require planning permission as long as a porous sub-base or suitable soakaway exists.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>DALTEX is the no 1 brand in resin bound and we supply DALTEX dried aggregates and DALTEX resin to thousands of architects and contractors throughout the UK.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Our expert team can help and advise on any queries you may have about resin drives or paths.

Perhaps you’re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children’s play area - the options are limitless.

This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat. </span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p> <h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn’t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p> <p dir="ltr">Driveways</p> <p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p> <p dir="ltr">Patios</p> <p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p> <p dir="ltr">Steps</p> <p dir="ltr">Parks</p> <h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks – there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute.

Then sit back and admire your efforts knowing that you won’t have to be constantly on the lookout for weeds.</p> <p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: left;" />If you fancy a change (and a rest) from maintaining a grassy area, no need to remove the grass, merely douse with weed killer, lay the membrane on top and spread the gravel out over it. An instant transformation! All that remains is to get out the garden furniture and light the barbeque. </p> <h2>What to use</h2> <p>Aggregates for groundcover or mulching can be virtually <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: right;" />anything from sand, to any gravel, slate, glass, pebble or cobble. Rockery stone can be used to provide an edging to the gravel to provide a different texture and decorative finish.</p> <h2>Top tip</h2> <p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: left;" />Use gravel with rockery stone as the gravel really compliments and highlights the stone especially when using slate rockery. Using rockery with cobbles and pebbles creates a river bed theme to the garden.</p> <h2></h2> <h2>Funk it up</h2> <p>Modern garden designs can be enhanced and created by <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />using coloured gravels in a variety of different ways, for example use black slate or charcoal granite for a monochrome design or silver grey granite to add that zen feel to any garden.</p> <p>Using glass aggregates is an exciting way of adding colour to your designs. Use it on its own or with a combination of other colours to create intricate and interesting combinations. Glass can also be used with water features or ponds to provide a more modern feel and looks amazing when lit up at night to add that real wow factor. </p> <h2>Focal Point</h2> <p>Adding boulders, large slate feature stones or monoliths <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />are a great way of adding a focal point to the garden design, to help create some height and depth. Slate standing stones, monoliths or water features can add that extra level to any sized garden.

It is ideal as it provides a long lasting solid base with a natural grit surface and a beautiful golden finish.</p> <p class="large">For the ultimate gravel finish, use the resin bonded <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" width="260" height="156" style="float: right;" />system.
