Product Information
Full details
The B&Q 10mm Pea Shingle Gravel is an ideal solution for contractors and homeowners looking for a versatile landscaping and construction aggregate. These rounded natural pebbles provide excellent drainage and structural stability, making them perfect for pipe bedding, trench backfill, and decorative pathways. While highly functional, users should be aware that the stone color varies between brown and grey, and total bag weight may fluctuate by up to 5% due to environmental moisture levels.

FAQs
Can I choose between brown or grey stones?
No, the color is natural and varies based on the current supply. Deliveries may contain either color.
Why is the bag weight different than expected?
Weight can vary by up to 5% due to the moisture content in the stones, which is standard for natural bulk aggregates.
Is this gravel suitable for driveways?
It is better suited for pathways or light utility. For heavy vehicular driveways, a larger, angular aggregate is often preferred for better locking properties.
What is the best way to move this gravel?
Given the 800kg total weight, it is best moved using a wheelbarrow and a square-mouth shovel.
Does this gravel require washing?
It is ready to use, though rain will naturally wash away any fine quarry dust shortly after installation.
Troubleshooting
Gravel is sinking into the soil
Excavate the base further and install a geotextile membrane to act as a stabilizer between the soil and the gravel layer.
Weeds growing through the shingle
Apply a weed killer to the sub-base and ensure a proper landscape fabric is installed before laying the gravel.
Color mismatch from previous orders
The product is a natural material; color variations are expected. To minimize visual impact, blend new gravel with existing stone or use it in a separate, contained garden zone.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent natural drainage properties
- Consistent sizing for even surface distribution
- Suitable for both aesthetic paths and heavy-duty utility tasks

Cons
- Inconsistent color between shipments (grey or brown)
- Weight may vary by up to 5% depending on moisture content
- Not suitable for heavy vehicular traffic without proper sub-base
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, clear the area of debris and install a high-quality landscape fabric before pouring the gravel to prevent weed growth and sinking. When using for trench backfill, ensure the layer thickness is appropriate for the weight load intended. While the gravel is naturally weather-resistant, it may accumulate surface dust or organic debris over time; periodic light raking can help refresh the appearance and remove leaves or detritus. As the product is supplied in an 800kg bulk bag, ensure the delivery site is flat and accessible for mechanical unloading equipment.
