Default Gravel

I'm re-doing my fronty garden and I need to find a cheap supplier of
gravel/aggregate. Any ideas where might be cheapest?

I need enough to cover approx 17 square metres.. Probably just want
standard golden gravel.


Did mine a few years ago. Look under 'Aggregates' in YP rather than going
to one of the sheds. You are going to need about 1 to 1.5 tonne to give a
decent thickness - any less than about 30mm & it looks bare.

Go for 18mm gravel NOT 10mm pea shingle. 18mm tends to stay put, 10mm
wanders about all over the place. Stick a decent fabric under for weed
control.
