Where can you use our stone products? 

Landscapers and gardeners are big fans of stone materials for exterior projects, not only for their versatility but also for their durability, reliability and strength. They can be used almost anywhere within your outdoor space, including:

• Patios
• Pathways and walkways
• Bases for garden furniture and structures
• Around ponds and water features
• Edging flowerbeds or garden features
• Lawn borders
• Stepping stones
• Driveways

Where can you use our decorative aggregates? 

Aggregate is a must-have for any professional landscaper, builder and professional gardener. For landscaping purposes, aggregate can be used to:

• Provide a level base for paving slabs
• Level uneven surfaces
• Fill any holes in your soil
• Create a sub-base for garden structures
• For garden design, aggregates such as gravel and pebbles can be used to:
• Create decorative features
• Edge flowerbeds or lawn borders
• Protect soil and plants in pots
• Decorate the edge of ponds or water features
• Set out walkways and pathways
• Create driveways

What sets granite, limestone, and sandstone paving apart? 

Granite is known for its exceptional strength and durability, making it an ideal choice for paving in areas with heavy foot traffic or vehicle loads.

Limestone is prized for its consistent colour and subtle patterns, which give it a sleek, contemporary appeal. Unlike other natural stones, limestone offers a more uniform look, making it an excellent choice for creating clean lines and a cohesive design.

The rich, diverse hues and organic feel of Sandstone can create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for gardens, patios, or pathways where a natural and relaxed aesthetic is preferred.

What are the benefits of natural stone paving? 

• Natural stone paving is durable and long-lasting, ensuring that your patio or driveway remains beautiful for many years.
• Each piece of natural stone is distinct, with subtle variations in colour and pattern, adding a one-of-a-kind character to your outdoor space.
• This natural uniqueness transforms your landscape into a truly bespoke area, offering both timeless beauty and resilience.

Should I lay anything under my decorative aggregate?  

A weed-resistant fabric should be laid beneath your aggregate. By choosing a permeable membrane, essential water and nutrients can keep your soil healthy while preventing weeds from coming through and ruining the aesthetics of your aggregate.

Do I need to prepare my ground for aggregate?  

For the best and longest-lasting results, we always recommend preparing the ground where your aggregate will lie. With soil, be sure to thoroughly de-weed the area and create a smooth, even surface for your hardcore, membrane, and aggregate to lay on. For concrete, be sure to sweep the area and de-weed before laying down your sand, membrane, and aggregate.

How deep should decorative aggregate be?  

This depends on the type of aggregate you’re laying. There should be guidance on your product’s packaging, but we suggest:

• 40mm for small aggregate (4-10mm)
• 50mm for medium aggregate (11-20mm)
• 100mm for large aggregate (21mm+)

How much aggregate do I need?  

A good rule of thumb for knowing how much aggregate you need is: 1000kg to cover 10 m2 at a depth of 1 inch. Always measure your area of land before ordering. You can calculate your coverage by multiplying the length by the width of the area to give you the square metres. Speak to our team or use our handy product calculators.
