Waitaha Schist 40
Waitaha Schist, also known as Westland Flat Stones, is a highly decorative, natural resource that is mined on the West Coast of the South Island. It is used throughout the housing and landscape industries for areas that you are wanting to make a statement. The smaller chip has increased in popularity on gardens, to tie the house and garden together. This product definitely adds a stunning finish to your outdoor area.
The Waitaha Schist’s deep to medium grey colour is an ideal backdrop for the shimmering flecks that run over and through the stone. The 20-40mm grade is a perfect size to contrast the bigger sized schist used on housing, while still allowing plants to bring their own personality to the garden without fear of being lost amongst big rocks.
