FAQs

What are the dimensions of the bulk bag?

The dimensions of the bulk bag are approximately L100 x W100 x H80 cm.

What is the weight of the aggregate?

Each bulk bag weighs approximately 850 kg.

Can this aggregate be used for a high-traffic driveway?

While suitable for driveways, its suitability for high-traffic areas depends on the specific application and expected wear. It offers a decorative finish but may require a suitable sub-base for durability.

Are there any postcode restrictions for delivery?

Yes, delivery is restricted to UK Mainland only, and specific postcode area restrictions apply. Please check delivery information before purchasing.

What happens if I am not present to accept the delivery?

The customer must be present to accept the delivery. If no one is available, redelivery charges may apply, or the delivery may be cancelled.

Can I choose the exact color of the slate?

As aggregates are a natural product, exact color and size cannot be guaranteed. The pictures, sizes, and color descriptions are as accurate as possible based on the average.

What type of vehicle is used for delivery?

Delivery is made via a rigid 16-tonne vehicle equipped with a tail-lift.

Troubleshooting

Delivery cannot access property

Ensure the access route is clear of obstructions and meets the size requirements for a 16-tonne vehicle. Contact the supplier if access issues persist before ordering.

Uneven color in the delivered aggregate

This is normal for natural stone products. Rake the aggregate to mix the stones and create a more uniform appearance.

Bulk bag is damaged on arrival

Inspect the bag upon delivery. Note any damage with the delivery driver and contact the supplier immediately with photographic evidence.

Aggregate does not cover the expected area

Verify the depth of coverage. For deeper applications, more aggregate may be required than the estimated 12 sq m coverage at a standard depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a large quantity of material for significant landscaping tasks.
  • Attractive blue slate finish enhances garden aesthetics.
  • Durable and weather-resistant for long-term use.
  • Covers a substantial area, making it cost-effective for larger projects.

Cons

  • Delivery restricted to UK Mainland with postcode limitations.
  • Requires specific vehicle access and a flat, solid surface for delivery.
  • Color and exact size may vary as it is a natural product.
  • Customer must be present to accept delivery.
  • Manual handling required from the delivery point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Delivery & Placement:

  1. Ensure clear access for a rigid 16-tonne vehicle. The delivery requires a flat, solid, and even surface for the pallet truck.
  2. Be prepared to accept the delivery personally; someone must be present at the delivery address.
  3. The delivery is kerbside, meaning the bulk bag will be placed at the nearest accessible point to your property.

Compatibility:

This aggregate is compatible with most garden landscaping projects including driveways, paths, borders, and decorative ground cover.

Care:

As a natural product, the appearance may vary slightly over time due to weather. Periodically rake the aggregate to maintain an even surface and remove any organic debris. No special cleaning is typically required; rain will usually keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Important Note: Due to the nature of natural aggregates, exact color and size consistency cannot be guaranteed. Refer to the product images and descriptions as a guide.
