Aggregates (gravel)
Q: How much gravel do I need?
A: Measure the area you wish to cover in square metres, then divide by 0.4 - That will give you the number of large bags you will need. For example:-
3m times 1.5 = 4.5 m2
4.5 divided by 0.4 =11.25
Therefore you will need approx. 12 bags. For larger areas our bulk bags are more economical.
Q: Can I lay stones straight onto the ground?
A: Ideally level the ground and remove larger weeds etc, if necessary carefully cover the area with weedkiller. Lay a weedblock membrane ensuring you overlap the edges and hold down with nails or similar pushed into the earth. Then lay the stones on top to a depth of approx. 40mm
Q: Can I use any type of stone on a driveway?
A: Safer stones such as limestone and slate will crumble with constant traffic use, so it is better to use a granite type stone or a quartzite gravel which are much harder and more suitable.
