Driveway Gravel

markieab

We are looking for a Scottish Quarry Supplier for about 6 tonne of driveway gravel. We want them to loose deliver as we hear it is cheaper.

Any recommendations for good Scottish companies - the cheaper the better please. B+Q and Homebase are expensive.

Thanks

Find a local Builders' Merchant - not a DIY store.

as above. what gravel do u want? i got unwashed 10mm pea gravel at about £40 a ton i think. it rolls tho and u lose loads over a year!

maybe get something bigger, like 20mm. when its delivered on a flat bed just get the man to dangle the bag just above the drive and slash the bottom with a stanley knive. u can then just rake it.

But as the OP realises it will be much cheaper on a tipper, which is why he wants to go that way.

My two penn'orth, go for chippings rather than gravel for a drive surface, they bed and settle better as they don't roll about.

And make careful measurements and estimation, you want it all in 1 load, don't be short.
