One of the finest foliated and grained metamorphic rocks, slate stone finds tremendous applications in construction of buildings, tiling, pavements, blackboard designs, writing slates and many more. A large number of gardens and parks make use of slate stones for enhancing the landscape beauty of the surroundings. Not only used for decorative purposes, slate stepping stones serve other practical purposes too. This stone has been immensely used since centuries as a building stone. The laminar behavior of slate stone enables easy cleaving and working; hence it is popular for paving, roofing and walling. In addition to its fine grained property, slate stone is also notable for its distinct colors. It comes predominantly in dark grey color, but also can be found in blue-greys, dark blues as well as purple. It is a wide choice among the people to combine its hues randomly for instigating an idea provoking selection!
Benefits of using slate stone in pavements:
Immortalize the beauty of your garden by making attractive pavements from the slate stone. It is not only pocket-friendly but also will bring you praises from your visitors! Besides adding aesthetic value to your garden space, it will also keep your feet clean all the time. Place them appropriately at proper spacing intervals in your garden bed, and you will not spoil your feet in the garden soil while tending to your plants. The slate stepping stones can be paved in those lawn areas which are frequently traversed by you and your family. This will keep the grass from growing from that area and you can liven up the space by embedding these beautiful slabs. Another benefit of paving your garden with the slate stones is that it will lead a trail for the visitors to check areas you want them to spot. As an instance, you can install a panoramic water fountain in your lawn and pave the lawn path towards the fountain with slate stone pavers. This will lead your guests to the scenic fountain area you had wanted them to see!
