What Are Aggregates?

Aggregates are the essential base materials for construction and landscaping, providing strength, stability, and finish to a wide variety of projects. Whether you’re mixing concrete, laying paving, or creating decorative features, our aggregate range covers every requirement.

 

Sand

We supply soft yellow building sand and soft grey building sand for mortar, bricklaying, and general building work. For paving, patios, and concrete mixes, our sharp concreting sand offers strength and stability.

 

Gravel

Our gravel options include 20mm quartz gravel for driveways and drainage, and 10mm quartz gravel for pipe bedding or finer applications. These durable aggregates are also available in decorative finishes, and you can explore more in our decorative chippings selection.

 

MOT Type 1 & Crusher Run

MOT Type 1 sub-base is ideal for driveways, patios, paths, and roadways, compacting to create a solid, long-lasting foundation. Our 20mm crusher run is another strong, versatile sub-base option for landscaping and construction projects.

 

Ballast

Our 20mm ballast is a ready-mixed blend of sand and gravel, perfect for making concrete for shed bases, fence posts, kerbs, and other structural work.

 

Other Options

We also stock 20mm limestone chippings for a strong, decorative finish, and 6mm dust granite for fine surfacing or blending into mixes. For planting or soft landscaping projects, you can also explore our bark, top soil and turf range.
