Had a quote for between 2.2k and 3.4k for blocking a 40m2 area. This

Gravel. Not pebbles. I've just done one 35 sq metres and it's fine. I
put 8" of stone down, whacked it, and then 2" of gravel. Very cheap.
Gravel size is 15 - 20mm. It's crushed gravel, very angular, so it it
doesn't move much under foot or wheel. Pebbles are dreadful though for
moving; wheels just sort of plough through. Slate is no good because it
breaks under a wheel and eventually it's just a lot of little bits.
Don't forget to put ducting in for lights, CCTV, etc.

Definately don't use limestone chippings.
