This 20mm non-decorative pea shingle gravel is the ideal choice for homeowners and landscaping professionals who need a functional, high-quality aggregate for groundworks and civil engineering tasks. It offers excellent utility for drainage systems and sub-base support, though its non-decorative finish means it is best utilized in hidden areas rather than as a primary aesthetic feature for garden paths.

It is intended as a utility aggregate. While it can be used for sub-base drainage, it is not recommended as a surface layer for driveways due to its non-decorative nature.
Calculate the volume of your trench (length x width x depth) and divide by the coverage per 25kg bag. Typically, a 25kg bag covers roughly 0.015 cubic meters.
No. As this is a natural, utility-grade product, color and shape variations are expected between different batches.
This is a construction-grade product and has not been cleaned for aquatic use; it may contain residues or minerals harmful to aquatic life.
Use a sturdy sack truck or garden cart. Despite the 25kg weight, always lift with your legs to avoid back strain.
Verify that the shingle was not packed too tightly with fine soil or clay; ensure a proper filter membrane was used.
This is common with natural aggregates; rinse the gravel with water if it will be used in an area where dust could be a nuisance.
To achieve the best results, ensure the area being filled is free from excess organic debris. If using the shingle for drainage, line your trench with a geotextile membrane first to prevent soil migration into the shingle gaps, which would otherwise reduce drainage efficacy. Because this is a natural, non-decorative product, you may notice dust during the pouring process; lightly dampening the gravel after laying can help settle fine particles. No specialized maintenance is required, though you should avoid using this product in decorative borders where its irregular appearance might clash with desired landscaping aesthetics.
