Gravel

Some of the main uses for gravel are:

Landscaping: Gravel is widely used in landscaping projects to enhance the visual appeal of outdoor spaces. It can be used to create decorative pathways, add texture to garden beds, and as a contrasting element in rock gardens. Gravel provides a natural and rustic look, making it a favoured choice for creating aesthetically pleasing landscapes. 

Driveways: Gravel driveways are a cost-effective alternative to concrete or asphalt driveways. The gravel's interlocking nature creates a stable surface that allows water to drain away effectively. It is crucial to use the right size and type of gravel for driveways to ensure durability and minimize maintenance. 

Construction: Gravel serves as a foundational material in construction projects. It is used as a base for roads, walkways, and building foundations. The interlocking particles of gravel provide stability and prevent settling, making it a reliable material for load-bearing applications. 

All of our gravel ranges between 10mm - 22mm and we stock them in both poly & bulk bags to suit any project size.
