Our Range of Crushed Gravel
Our crushed gravel selection is capable of meeting every construction and landscaping need. Our crushed aggregates are particularly effective for drainage work and pipe bedding, thanks to their size and structure.
However, typically they should be avoided for driveways, as their sharp edges make them less suitable for pedestrian or car traffic. For driveways, instead consider our Natural Gravel.
Below, you’ll find the different types of crushed gravel we offer. For any questions, please reach out to our team, who will be more than happy to help find the right material for your project.
4-10mm Crushed Gravel
Our 4-10mm crushed drainage gravel is a versatile choice commonly used for pipe bedding and drainage systems. Its smaller size allows for excellent water flow and proper filtration, making it highly effective for protecting pipes and improving drainage efficiency.
This gravel type is suitable for lightweight concrete mixes and as a base material for landscaping projects. Its compact form allows it to settle well, providing more stability and consistency in different applications.
10-20mm Crushed Gravel
10-20mm crushed gravel is a reliable option for pipe bedding and drainage solutions. Its slightly larger size offers better drainage capacity than the 4-10mm, making it a preferred choice for more extensive drainage systems.
This drainage aggregate is also often used in landscaping projects where efficient water management is necessary. It provides a sturdy base layer that helps prevent waterlogging and supports the durability of outdoor surfaces.
20-40mm Crushed Gravel
Our 20-40mm drainage aggregate is ideal for land drainage work. Its larger size allows water to pass through even more efficiently than the 10-20mm gravel, making it perfect for large-scale drainage systems and agricultural applications.
Besides its drainage properties, this crushed aggregate is frequently used as a sub-base material for areas where stability and durability are essential. Its coarser texture makes it suitable for decorative rock gardens and erosion control.
Pentney Reject Stone
Pentney reject gravel typically ranges between 40 and 150mm in size, with most within the 40-90mm bracket. This material is particularly effective for soakaways, providing excellent drainage capabilities due to its irregular size and shape.
It’s also useful for creating stable foundations where water needs to be efficiently channelled away from structures. Its rugged appearance and superior drainage performance makes it a reliable option for various landscaping and construction needs.
Bilney Reject Stone
Bilney reject gravel ranges between 40 and 200 mm in size, with the majority in the 100-150 mm range. Its bulkier size makes it an excellent choice for filling gabion baskets, creating solid structures that offer stability and aesthetic appeal.
Bilney reject gravel is frequently used for larger soakaways where substantial water drainage is essential. It has a natural look and durable properties, which is why it’s preferred for heavy-duty drainage solutions and retaining walls.

Where Can You Use Crushed Gravel
Crushed gravel is easy to install, cost-effective and highly versatile. Our crushed aggregates are incredibly popular for home projects like landscaping and patios, as well as drainage. In construction, they’re often used as foundation material and provide soil with stability.
Here’s where they’re commonly used:
Crushed Gravel in Foundation Base: Crushed gravel provides a sturdy foundation that can withstand heavy loads. It helps prevent surface damage like potholes and keeps water from accumulating because of its excellent drainage properties. This drainage gravel is ideal for compacting base materials that boost the structural stability of construction projects.
Crushed Gravel in Walkways and Pathways: Crushed gravel is often smaller than other crushed aggregates like crushed stone. This lends it a softer, more rounded appearance that can be an attractive addition to your walkways and pathways. It provides a solid grip, making it functional for a home garden.
Crushed Gravel in Landscaping: Crushed gravel can prevent soil erosion by providing a compact surface that can withstand strong flows of water. This helps trap sediment and improves soil drainage, making it ideal for flower beds in gardens.
Importance of Using Crushed Gravel
Crushed gravel can be used in a broad range of construction applications and is well-suited for drainage and landscaping projects. Our crushed aggregates are low-maintenance and durable, making them superior to other types of gravel for some projects.
Here’s why they’re important:
Boosts Stability
Foundation bases and roads require firm and sturdy surfaces. Crushed gravel can create a durable and resistant base, with increased load-bearing capacity. This helps reduce the likelihood of cracked, uneven surfaces and prevents potholes.
Prevents Erosion
Crushed aggregates like drainage gravel are often irregular in shape, allowing for water to seep in through the gaps. This helps prevent erosion and water from pooling, reducing pressure from hydrostatic buildup around structures. It’s ideal for drainage and septic systems and improves the efficiency of French drains.
Cost-effective Option
Crushed gravel is readily available, making it suitable for use all year through. It’s cheaper than asphalt and concrete, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale construction projects. Crushed gravel made from recycled materials is also eco-friendly, helping businesses and homeowners to reduce their environmental impact.
