FAQs

Can I use this gravel for a driveway?

While it can be used for structural sub-bases, it is a non-decorative product and may not provide the desired aesthetic or smooth finish of decorative driveway gravels.

Does the stone vary in color?

Yes, as this is a natural product, color, shape, and grading may vary between batches.

How much area will 50kg cover?

Coverage depends on the required depth, but generally, 50kg is intended for targeted utility use rather than covering large surface areas.

Is this product washed?

It is a standard utility aggregate and may contain some natural dust from the quarrying process.

Are the bags waterproof?

The bags are designed for transport and holding, but they are not intended for long-term outdoor storage without protection.

Troubleshooting

Water not draining effectively after installation.

Ensure that the gravel is not mixed with too much fine soil or clay; if it is, the gaps between stones will clog.

Gravel feels loose or shifts under weight.

Compact the base layer thoroughly or ensure the aggregate is contained within a stable perimeter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal size for efficient drainage and soakaway performance
  • Convenient 25kg bag weight allows for easier manual handling
  • Suitable for both professional building sites and home repairs
  • Robust material designed for structural support and backfilling

Cons

  • Not intended for decorative or cosmetic garden finishes
  • Natural variations in color and shape may not suit specific aesthetic requirements
  • Requires manual labor to distribute due to the 50kg total weight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, clear the area of debris before installation. If using the gravel for drainage, it is recommended to line the trench with a geotextile membrane to prevent silt contamination. When bedding pipes, ensure the layer is leveled to provide an even surface. As this is a natural, unwashed stone product, some residual dust may be present; rinse with water if clean contact is required for your specific application. Store the bags in a dry area if they are not to be used immediately to prevent the packaging from degrading.
