Bulk bag Pebbles

Hi,

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. My friend has just taken delivery of 4 bulk bags of stones to lay her driveway and front garden. I would like to help but as we are both weak females I was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints/tips on how to get stones out the bags onto the correct bits ?

Thanks
Play nice :eek: Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.:j

    Wheel barrow + Knife + Shovel + Rake

    Place the wheel barrow beside the bag and cut, use your hands to move stones into barrow until the level of stones is below the barrow then use the spade to move the stones.

    Spread the stones using the wheel barrow, then level out with your rake.

    You only want to lay the stones to a depth of 2-3 X their diameter, ie 10mm gravel 20-30mm depth any deeper and you'll start to sink into the gravel.

    HTH ;)
