FAQs

Is the color consistent across bags?

As this is a natural quarried product, slight variations in color, size, and shape are expected between bags.

How much area does one 25kg bag cover?

Coverage depends on the depth required, but generally, one 25kg bag will cover approximately 0.25 to 0.3 square meters at a depth of 50mm.

Can I use this for a driveway?

Yes, the 20mm size is suitable for driveways, though a weed control membrane is highly recommended to prevent the stones from sinking.

Does it need to be washed before use?

It is not strictly necessary as natural transit dust will wash away with rainfall, but you can rinse it if you want to see the vibrant colors immediately.

Is this safe for pets?

Yes, these are natural stone chippings and are inert, making them safe for general garden use around pets.

What is the best way to clean the gravel after it is laid?

Use a garden rake to remove surface debris and a leaf blower to clear light organic matter. For a deep clean, spray with a hose.

Troubleshooting

Gravel looks dusty or dull upon arrival

This is common for natural stone in transit. Rinse the gravel with a garden hose or wait for the first rainfall to reveal the true colors.

Weeds are growing through the gravel

Ensure a weed control membrane is installed underneath. If weeds persist, they may be growing from surface seeds that can be removed with a weed killer or hand pulling.

Gravel is sinking into the ground

The sub-base may not be firm enough. Ensure the ground is properly compacted and consider adding a thicker layer of sub-base material before adding the gravel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gravel project, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Clear the intended area of existing weeds, grass, and debris. Level the soil surface.
  2. Weed Prevention: Lay a high-quality weed control membrane across the area and secure it with landscape staples. This prevents soil and gravel mixing.
  3. Application: Pour the gravel from the bag and rake it into an even layer, typically 3-5cm thick depending on the intended foot traffic.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically clear leaves or garden debris from the surface using a leaf blower or rake. If the color appears dull due to accumulated dust, simply wash the area with a garden hose.
