Gardening & Landscaping

Slate from Schmiedebach, as a design element, with its velvety elegant shimmering surface and its dark coloration, can be used to create your very own "feel-good oasis". At the same time, the slate material offers the user a variety of advantages, including as a mineral mulch material compared to conventional wood chip products.
