4-10mm Baston Gravel
This small, rounded yet fairly flat gravel comes in a warm sandy colour, making it a great choice for pathways and garden borders. Its washed and graded texture ensures a smooth walking surface, perfect for areas that require practicality and visual appeal.
Due to its compact nature, our 4-10mm Baston gravel is easy to spread and maintain, helping to create a uniform look in any outdoor space. Whether it’s used in decorative flower beds or light foot traffic areas, it adds a natural and refined touch.
6-14mm Baston Gravel
Slightly larger than its 4-10mm counterpart, this decorative gravel retains the same sandy tones but is more versatile. It’s a popular choice for pathways, garden landscapes, and even carparks, providing a durable yet visually appealing surface.
The rounded and fairly flat shape makes it comfortable to walk on while still allowing for good drainage. Its natural colour also blends well with different outdoor settings, making it great for residential and commercial projects.
10-20mm Baston Gravel
With its larger size and warm sandy hues, our 10-20mm Baston gravel is an excellent choice for driveways, carparks, and high-traffic areas. Its naturally rounded shape makes it look neat and professional, and it can create a strong, stable surface.
This decorative aggregate is highly durable and works well in areas that require a sturdy base. Its washed and graded finish also prevents excessive dust and debris, meaning it needs minimal upkeep.
10-20mm Norton Gravel
Our Norton gravel features a distinctive blend of blue-white and blue-grey tones, giving it a unique and striking appearance. Its smooth, rounded texture makes it particularly suitable for decorative applications, such as garden borders, rockeries, and water features.
Aside from its aesthetics, this gravel is also functional, offering excellent drainage and a firm surface. It’s a fantastic option if you’re looking to add practicality and a stylish touch to your outdoor space.
4-10mm Pentney Gravel
Our Pentney gravel is a naturally angular gravel that provides a rough-edged yet non-crushed texture. Its small size and washed finish make it an ideal choice for decorative pathways and garden features where a more structured look is needed.
Unlike rounded gravels, its angular edges help it lock together more firmly, reducing movement underfoot. This makes it a great option for creating stable yet visually interesting surfaces in landscaping projects.
10-20mm Pentney Gravel
Larger in size but with the same natural angular texture, our 10-20mm Pentney Gravel is great for areas requiring a more rugged and durable surface. It works well in driveways, drainage solutions, and decorative landscaping projects.
Its non-crushed yet naturally rough surface adds texture to any outdoor space while still allowing for good drainage. Whether you use it as a base layer or a top dressing, this gravel is reliable and long-lasting.

Why Natural Gravel?
Natural gravel is a popular choice in landscaping and construction due to its many practical and aesthetic benefits. Here are some of them:
Excellent Drainage: This is one of its biggest advantages. Unlike solid surfaces, natural Norfolk gravel allows water to pass through, reducing the risk of puddles and flooding in driveways and gardens.
Low Maintenance: Decorative gravel surfaces require minimal upkeep compared to paving or concrete. With occasional raking and top ups you can keep it looking fresh and functional. It also helps prevent weed growth, making it a hassle-free option for garden beds and pathways.
Highly Durable: This decorative aggregate can withstand weather changes, heavy foot traffic, and vehicle use without cracking or wearing out. That’s what makes it ideal for driveways, patios, and even construction projects.
Visually Appealing: In addition to its strength, our natural gravels also look great. It’s available in different sizes and colours, and it can improve outdoor spaces by adding texture and a natural look. It also complements gardens, water features, and modern landscaping designs.
Cost-Effective: Natural decorative gravel is more affordable than many other materials, and it’s easy to install, making it a budget-friendly choice regardless of project.
With its combination of durability, beauty, and practicality, natural gravel is a smart choice for any project.
How To Correctly Lay Natural Gravel
Laying natural gravel properly ensures that it lasts a long time and creates a stable surface. Following these simple steps will help you get the best results:
Prepare the Area: First, you’ll need to mark out the space where you want to lay the decorative gravel. Make sure to remove any grass, weeds, or debris, and dig the area down by at least 10-15 cm for driveways and pathways.
Create a Solid Base: For a stable foundation, you can add a layer of crushed stone or hardcore and compact it using a roller or tamper. This prevents the natural gravel from sinking and improves drainage.
Install a Weed Membrane: You can lay a landscaping fabric over the base to stop weeds from growing through this decorative aggregate. This will also help keep the gravel in place without needing too much maintenance.
Add the Gravel: Spread your chosen gravel evenly over the area. A depth of 5-6 cm is usually enough for pathways, while driveways may need around 10 cm.
Level and Compact: You’ll need to rake the gravel to distribute it evenly, then lightly compact it to create a firm, stable surface.
