Product Information
Full details
This 20mm Pea Shingle Gravel from B&Q is an ideal utility solution for contractors and DIY homeowners focused on heavy-duty groundworks, drainage, and backfilling projects. Supplied in five convenient 25kg bags totaling 125kg, it offers excellent load-bearing properties for pipe bedding and soakaways; however, it is strictly a functional aggregate, so it should not be chosen for projects where aesthetic consistency or color uniformity is required.

FAQs
Is this gravel washed?
This is a utility-grade aggregate and is not washed, meaning it may contain some fine dust or sediment from the quarrying process.
Can I use this in a fish pond?
No, this is intended for groundworks and utility use. It may contain natural impurities that are not suitable for aquatic environments.
How much area will 125kg cover?
Coverage depends on the depth required; generally, 125kg will provide a small area of coverage suitable for short pipe trenches or minor soakaway repairs.
Does the color match if I buy multiple packs?
Because this is a natural stone product, color and texture can vary significantly between individual bags.
Is this safe for driveway use?
While it is durable enough to support weight, its irregular utility grading makes it poorly suited for walking or driving surfaces compared to decorative, rounded driveway gravels.
Troubleshooting
Drainage area is clogging
Ensure that a geotextile fabric was used to separate the gravel from surrounding soil to prevent silt infiltration.
Uneven surface in pipe bedding
Ensure the sub-base is compacted before adding the 20mm shingle to provide a level platform for the pipes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal for functional groundworks and drainage
- Manageable 25kg bags improve site handling
- Provides reliable structural stability
- Suitable for both trade and domestic use
Cons
- Not intended for decorative landscaping
- Natural variation in color and shape is expected
- May require heavy lifting despite bag size
- Grading may not be perfectly uniform across all batches
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the area is leveled and cleared of debris before pouring the gravel. If using this for drainage, consider laying a geotextile membrane first to prevent soil migration into the shingle, which could lead to clogs over time. No special care is required once installed; however, because this is a natural, unwashed utility product, you may notice fine dust upon opening the bags—this will wash away naturally with the first rainfall.
