White Marble Chips
The default choice for terrazzo, bright flooring and garden beds.
Marble Chips for Pathways
Chip pathways are quick to build, permeable and easy to repair. The key decision is the grade: too fine and the surface washes away, too coarse and it is uncomfortable to walk on.
Why marble chips suit this use
A chip path drains naturally, needs no curing time and can be extended or rerouted later without demolition.
What to confirm before ordering
- Use edging along both sides so the path holds its line.
- A membrane below the chips keeps mud from pumping up in the monsoon.
- 10-20 mm interlocks best under foot traffic; single-size fine chips scatter.
- Allow for a top-up after the first season as the layer beds in.
Recommendations here are a starting point. Final suitability depends on your project specification, and structural or engineering decisions remain with your contractor or engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which chip size is best for a walking path?
- 10-20 mm is the usual recommendation because the varied sizes lock together under foot.
- How thick should a chip path be?
- Around 40-50 mm over a firm, membrane-covered base is typical for light foot traffic.
- Are chip paths wheelchair friendly?
- Loose chips are not ideal for wheeled access. Use a bound surface or paving where accessibility is required.

- Grey, brown and yellow hide soiling better than white.
