•  How to Lay a Gravel Driveway

How much do decorative aggregates cost?

Our gravel and chippings range from just £8.95 per square meter for the classic Golden Gravel and Round Gravel, to £13.50 per square meter for contemporary Black Ice Chippings, Icy White Blue Chippings and Frozen Pink Chippings and £15.19 per square meter for the timeless Scottish Cobbles. Prices vary depending on material and where it is sourced from, some of our contemporary products are sources from eastern Europe and therefore incur higher transport costs, however we also supply several products made from locally sourced aggregates and such as the Staffordshire Round Gravel, which is sourced from Staffordshire. And even closer to home, we source our Golden Gravel from our own quarries in Lincolnshire and our Bardon Hill Granite from Leicestershire. 

How to style Decorative Aggregates

With many variants of chippings and gravel available, accommodating both traditional and modern gardens, there is a product for every space. Our large Scottish Cobbles are ideal for driveways and rockeries as well as planting areas, whereas our slate chippings offer muted pastel tones when dry and vivid vibrant colours when wet. The ever present Golden Gravel is a much loved option for gravel driveways, garden paths and gravel borders.      

What colour Decorative Aggregates are available? 

Ranging from Golden Gravel to Frozen Pink Chippings, you’ll find a kaleidoscope of attractive shades and tones in our garden gravel and driveway gravel. 

For example, our slate chippings come in three colours, Plum Slate Chippings, Blue Slate Chippings and Green Slate Chippings. But not only are there three different colours, the difference between each product when wet and dry from pastel to vibrant offers further variance. If monochrome is your style then look no further than our range of granite chippings, silver grey tones in our Silver Granite Chippings, Topley Grey Chippings and Bardon Hill Granite these timeless options will stand the test of time.
