Slate Boulder SB167

Slate Boulder SB167 is a stunning Medium sized blocky Slate Boulder. Measuring 220mm long x 150mm wide and approximately 280mm high with plum slate and green tones. Sourced direct from the quarry in North Wales. This could be core drilled and converted into a working water feature at additional cost. Check the photos carefully as they are of the exact boulder you will receive. Some images highlight vibrant markings and copper streaks running through the boulder. Some of the toughest slate out there. The colours of natural slate deepen and intensify when wet. Gallery images show the slate boulder both wet and dry. View our youtube channel for a short video of all the angle on this boulder. Slate Boulders work well when arranged as a trio, so please consider slate boulder SB156 or slate monolith SM327. A very similar alternative feature stone to Slate Boulder SB167 is Stone Boulder SB61. If you prefer a non drilled boulder then Stone Boulder SB52 standing stone is an alternative. For inspiration take a look at America’s Wild, presented by Trailfinders & Visit the USA which just won Gold at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. The complementary beach cobbles seen in the photos are also available to purchase on the website. We recommend two handy bags to cover the lid of the 1 metre diameter large reservoir. Alternatively, use a matching crushed aggregate such as 20mm cotswold style chippings. Edged with grey slate setts measuring 200mm x 100mm x 40mm thick contain the beach pebbles and prevent overspill and contamination with grass or other materials. Contact us with any questions or queries. Lots more stone available in the yard ready to be transformed into stunning water features. You’re welcome to visit the workshop but please do book an appointment in advance.
