Driveways
Aggregate chippings can be an excellent choice for driveways as they can be much better than the alternatives. Deciding what works best for both practicality & appearance. Using aggregates on your driveway could be the best solution as its cost effective, versatile & durable. The small stones & chippings are more resistant to cracking & chipping after heavy rainfall or frequently being driven over. They can also be easier to maintain as damaged areas can be removed & replaced. Additional stone can be added to worn areas & raked flush with the surrounding area.

Garden landscaping
We have all seen aggregates used in different garden contexts & on numerous gardening programs. Sometimes it’s a small area of decorative ground on a bed or under some trees if maybe to improve the appearance & practicality of your outdoor space. We can supply small or larger quantities & frequently we are better value for money than the garden centers.

Boarders.
Stone can be used as an effective way to outline your garden beds, edge a driveway or simply emphasis certain areas of your garden. The size of the aggregate can be essential in this context to create the look you are going for.

Mulch Replacement.
Many of us have put down a wood chip / bark mulch, only to find after a relatively short period of time you have to replace it. Mulch is frequently used to suppress weeds or help retain moisture & can create an aesthetically pleasing finish. By using the right type of aggregate you can provide a long-lasting mulch which won’t need to be replaced each year or so.

Enhance drainage.
As they are not a solid surface where water can collect, sit or pool aggregates allow the rain water to run down through to the soil helping to stop your garden flooding. They can also create great walkways / pathways throughout your garden allowing you to use it all year round. You can let your imagination run wild as you are not restricted by straight lines or edges. Curved or snaking paths can separate areas of different planting or create interest in a garden.
Never forget that aggregates can also be mixed into your soil to help out with drainage especially in areas such as raised beds.

Grass alternative.
We all have that one spot where we don’t seem to be able to get anything to grow, not even grass. It may be a shady spot under some trees or an area of poor soil full of rocks. So, in order to make is look neat & complete a dressing of aggregates can be the perfect answer.

Ponds
Many of us are looking to create an area for wildlife in our gardens & a small pond can be an excellent idea. Larger stones are frequently placed around the edge to hold the liner down or enhance the shape of the pond. Between these larger stone you may want to put some plants, but equally some gravel aggregate or chippings can create a natural surface to encourage wildlife to the margins.

Patios
Traditionally we have created our patio areas with slabs & cemented between them. More recently we have become broader in our thinking and creative in our design. You may still like to have traditional slabs (square or crazy paving) but how about not cementing but instead having an aggregate fill between them. Or discard the slabs completely & have a fully aggregate patio area in your garden. It is easier to move or replace or reshape it, any stains or spills can be removed by taking up some of the stone & replacing it, if you need to make it larger then this is more straightforward as well.
