FAQs

How much area does one 850kg bulk bag cover?

Coverage depends on the depth, but typically an 850kg bag will cover approximately 10 to 12 square meters at a depth of 50mm.

Is this gravel suitable for driveways?

Yes, the 20mm size is ideal for driveways as it is large enough to stay in place while providing a stable, free-draining surface.

Do I need to wash the gravel before use?

While the gravel is generally clean, it may have a light coating of quarry dust. This will naturally rinse away with the first few rainfalls, or you can hose it down after laying.

Can this be used near plants?

Absolutely. It is inert and will not alter the pH of the soil, making it safe for use in borders and rockeries.

Is a membrane strictly necessary?

While optional, it is highly recommended to prevent the stones from sinking into the soil and to keep your garden looking clean and weed-free.

Troubleshooting

Weeds growing through the gravel surface

Ensure a high-quality weed-suppressant membrane was installed beneath the gravel layer. If weeds appear, they are likely rooting in topsoil accumulation above the membrane.

Gravel feels unstable or tracks easily

Ensure the aggregate layer is not too deep (ideally 40-50mm) and consider using a driveway grid system to lock the stones in place.

Stones appearing dull or dirty

Rake the gravel to turn the stones or use a garden hose to rinse away accumulated dust and dirt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Brightens outdoor spaces with natural golden hues
  • Provides excellent natural drainage
  • Reduces maintenance requirements for weed suppression
  • Durable enough for both residential paths and driveway use
  • Highly versatile for modern and traditional garden designs

Cons

  • Bulk delivery requires sufficient access for heavy haulage vehicles
  • Requires mechanical offloading equipment due to weight
  • May require a stabilizing membrane to prevent aggregate migration
  • Not suitable for areas where very fine, compacted surfaces are needed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, start by clearing the area of existing vegetation and leveling the ground. Lay a high-quality landscape fabric or geotextile membrane before spreading the gravel; this is essential for preventing weed growth and stopping the stones from sinking into the sub-soil.

When calculating the coverage, ensure a depth of approximately 40-50mm for walkways and slightly deeper for driveways. Maintenance is minimal; occasionally raking the surface helps level out areas where traffic is heavy and removes any wind-blown debris like leaves. If the gravel becomes dusty over time, a simple light hose-down will restore its natural, golden luster.
