Product Information
Full details
This 20mm Golden Gravel 3-pack is ideal for homeowners and landscapers seeking to enhance driveways, garden borders, or drainage areas with a durable and aesthetically pleasing natural aggregate. Its primary benefit is the combination of rich amber and ochre tones that evolve with light conditions, alongside a coarse structure that facilitates efficient water drainage. One notable caveat is that the product is delivered in heavy bulk bags, requiring adequate space and suitable access for delivery vehicles upon arrival.

FAQs
How much area will three bulk bags cover?
At a standard depth of 50mm, these three bags (2,400kg total) will cover approximately 30 to 35 square meters.
Is this gravel suitable for driveways?
Yes, 20mm is an ideal size for driveways as it provides good load-bearing properties and stability for vehicles.
Does the color fade over time?
As a natural stone, the gravel is color-fast, though it will look different depending on whether it is wet or dry.
How should I prepare the ground before laying?
Excavate the topsoil, compact the sub-base, and lay a quality geotextile membrane to prevent weeds and mixing with the soil.
Is this product safe for pets?
Yes, the rounded edges of the chippings make them relatively comfortable for paws, though they are not intended for ingestion.
Troubleshooting
Gravel moving or shifting too easily
Ensure the depth is consistent and consider installing edging boards or a gravel grid system to hold the stones in place.
Weed growth appearing through the stones
Check that the weed-suppressant membrane was installed correctly; spot treat persistent weeds with a suitable garden weed killer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your golden gravel, start by clearing the ground of vegetation and applying a layer of weed-suppressant membrane to prevent unwanted growth. Spread the gravel evenly using a garden rake to achieve a uniform depth. For heavy-traffic areas like driveways, consider using a grid system to stabilize the stones and prevent shifting.
Care is minimal: simply rake the area occasionally to redistribute stones that may have been displaced by foot traffic. If the surface looks sparse after several years, a thin top-up layer will refresh the appearance without needing to remove the existing gravel.
