FAQs

Is this gravel safe for my fish pond?

Yes, this is a natural, inert quartzite and is completely safe for fish and other aquatic wildlife.

How much area will one 20kg bag cover?

A 20kg bag typically covers approximately 0.2 to 0.4 square meters at a standard depth of 50mm, depending on the surface.

Can I use this for my driveway?

It is suitable for residential driveways with light vehicle traffic, provided a solid sub-base is established.

Do I need to clean the gravel before use?

It is recommended to rinse the gravel, especially if using it in ponds, to remove any natural dust gathered during packaging.

Does the color change when it rains?

Yes, the natural brown and buff tones appear deeper and more intense when the stones are wet.

Is the size of the stone exactly 10mm?

As a natural product, the stones are graded to a 10mm nominal size, but there may be minor variations in individual stone dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Gravel feels loose or shifts too easily

Ensure a proper sub-base of compacted MOT Type 1 is installed beneath the gravel to provide stability.

Weeds appearing through the gravel

Check that the weed membrane is intact and overlaps correctly at the seams.

Gravel looks dull or dusty

Rinse the area with a hose to remove fine particles and rejuvenate the natural color of the quartzite.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting natural stone material
  • Aesthetically pleasing color palette
  • Safe for use in aquatic environments and ponds
  • Easy to spread and manage for DIY projects
  • Provides excellent natural drainage

Cons

  • Potential for slight color variations due to natural origin
  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial traffic
  • Requires weed barrier membrane underneath for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, begin by excavating the area to a depth of approximately 50-75mm and installing a heavy-duty landscape membrane to prevent weed infiltration. Spread the gravel evenly using a rake to ensure a consistent depth. If using the product in a water feature, it is recommended to wash the gravel thoroughly with water before placement to remove any quarry dust. For ongoing maintenance, simply clear leaves or debris with a light leaf blower or garden rake; occasional light rinsing will restore the vibrancy of the stone's natural colors.
