Black Slate, or something to similar effect. For a visual representation of what i would like, or am trying to find its closest possible match here is a link. At 0:06 of this 1:18 long video it shows black slate. Where the devil do i find such slate. I myself am in the Coventry area of the West Midlands and in the last week i've been to several garden centres in the hope of finding some slate similar to this - but with no luck.

I do NOT own the rights to this video, the respective owner on YouTube does.
EDIT: Huh direct streaming doesnt work on here aye? Nevermind....

At 0:06 it shows the rocks, i'm after the same if not very similar slate to the same effect. Shape and size. Garden centres are useless and aquatics centres charge an arm and a leg for rocks. I'm getting tempted to make the long journey up to the peak district JUST to get some hardscape.

Why are garden centres so freaking useless, does anyone have any suggestions where? Be it online, local(ish) to the west midlands or whatever.

Thanks, James
 
I think i have some of this, will get some pix for you in the morning.

also for slate, do not bother with garden centres, try agrregate companies. where you get large bolders and slate and granite slabs.
 
Haha Gill, i went to Hilltop Garden Centre today and got 30 slate rocks for £21 :D Quite happy with my haul. Nevermind though, atleast i finally found some slate i'm happy to use in my tank.
