Excellent service — delivery was very quick, and the quality and sizes of the slate were far superior to those of local garden centres. I would not hesitate to recommend Celtic Slate & Stone. A great supplier of natural British stone.

Very good quality stone, exactly as described on the website and nice big pieces, much better value than buying from the garden centre. Delivery was quick and exactly on schedule too. Thanks Steffan!

So pleased to have found Steffan at Celtic Slate & Stone — the only place willing to supply a smaller amount of rocks at a very fair price. Very helpful communication and a lovely selection of sizes. Very recommended.

We couldn't be more delighted with the flat pond edging stones we bought. They make the perfect lawn-to-border divide and surround to our pond project. They slot together in a suitably random but organised manner. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Celtic Slate and Stone delivered an excellent product, amazing customer service and exactly what was promised. Steffan must have hand-picked many of the pieces of slate for my project. Unbelievable value for money.

Great product and service. I ordered a bulk bag of slate chippings for my garden. Lovely product, solid chunks of slate, unlike the flimsy small chips I've seen in neighbours' gardens. Delivered within a week.

Stone for ponds and pond edging

Natural stone has been used around ponds, streams, and water features in garden and landscaping schemes across the UK for generations. We have 2 types of pond stone available: Welsh slate and glacial stone, with each stone type available in a range of different size options. From small pond stones right up to large boulder style rocks, we have something to suit pretty much any garden pond project.

Our pond edging stones are the same Welsh slate and glacial stone that we supply for garden rockeries, suitable for pond surrounds and landscaping around ponds. The natural colour tones work alongside planting and water, and the stone colour is enhanced when wet. The Welsh slate has grey and rustic colours, while the glacial stone has earthy colour tones. We are a leading supplier of pond stone to landsacpers, garden desginers, as well as private customers.

We have years of experience in our industry, and our focus here at Celtic Slate & Stone is to give our customers the very best purchasing experience; top quality stone, delivered quickly and with the highest level of customer service. Please read our 5* Google and Trustpilot reviews, that confirm our consistent high standards.

Why our slate and stone works so well around water

Not all natural stone is suited to permanent use in and around water. Slate and glacial stone is better suited than most, for a few specific reasons:

They are completely non-toxic to fish and all pond life, therefore safe for wildlife ponds, koi ponds, and any water feature where fish or amphibians are present.

Our stones are frost resistant. They are highly resistant to water absorption meaning they do not crack when temperatures drop below freezing, and are suitable for year-round outdoor use across all UK climates.

Both the Welsh slate and the glacial stone will last a lifetime. They do not erode, flake, or break down in contact with water over time, unlike limestone, sandstone, or other porous sedimentary rocks.

Stone for pond surrounds and waterfalls

Welsh slate is an ideal material for waterfall construction and water feature building. The natural layered structure of the stone makes it straightforward to create the staggered steps that direct water flow in a waterfall, while the dense, non-porous nature of the slate means it does not absorb water or degrade over time.

Larger pieces of our Welsh slate work well as rocks for pond surrounds, statement pieces beside water features, and structural elements within waterfall builds. The stone darkens when wet, giving water features a darker, richer appearance.

Our Welsh slate pond stone is the same material as our slate rockery stone range. We also have a selection of large boulders that can be incorporated into your pond, water feature or general landscape design.

Frequently asked questions

Is your pond stone suitable safe for fish and pond life?
Yes. Our stone can be used safely in and around fish ponds. Both Welsh slate and glacial stone are chemically stable materials that will not affect the pH value of the water in your pond.
What size rocks do I need for my garden pond?
This is mainly down to personal preference and the overall look you are aiming to achieve. Our slate and stone pond rocks are available in a range of different size options, from our smaller "mini" slate rocks, right up to our large pond and rockery stones. We also sell individual boulders that can be used as feature stones to compliment your garden or landscaping project.
Does water affect the stone colours?
Colours will be darkened and enhanced when the stone is wet, and this applies to both the slate and glacial stone types we have available. As our slate and stone are made up of stable minerals, the colours will not degrade or fade over time; the natural beauty of our pond stones will last a lifetime.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes. We can offer delivery to most mainland UK postcodes, and this can be to a private residential or a business address. The website prices are inclusive of delivery to most England and Wales postcodes. A supplement applies to inner London and Scotland postcodes; the cost of this is shown in the delivery section of each product and is added at checkout. We do not offer delivery to non-mainland addresses.
How quickly will my order be delivered?
You can choose your delivery date at checkout, with the first available date usually being within 4 working days.
How is my order delivered?
Your order will be delivered by a 3rd party pallet courier. They use large lorries with a tail lift and pallet pump truck, and can deliver to residential or business addresses. Please note the following:

1. There needs to be access for a delivery lorry to your address.

2. The delivery company will unload roadside. The pallet(s) can then be moved onto your property using a pallet pump truck - this will only work on hard ground (not on grass or gravel), that is relatively level, and free from steps. If there is no pallet pump truck access onto your property the pallet(s) will be left kerbside.

3. If there is easy pallet pump truck access onto your property then you don't need to be at home on the day of delivery. If the order needs to be left kerbside then you will need to be available on the day.

Feel free to contact us if you would like us to check the suitability of delivery to your address.
