Decorative Gravel
Our decorative gravel collection adds aesthetic appeal to any garden or landscape. With options like the rich golden tones of Cotswold buff gravel and the striking hues of Scottish cobbles, you can craft unique designs that reflect your personal style. These gravels are perfect for pathways, driveways, and as a top layer for borders and plant beds, providing both beauty and functionality.
Self Binding Gravel and Gravel Dusts
Limestone Dust Fines are often used as a base for artificial grass, patios, and block paving due to its excellent compaction properties.
Our Hoggin Self Binding Gravel is a popular choice for pathways, driveways, and public spaces due to its compacting properties. Unlike loose gravel that shifts and moves underfoot, self-binding gravel naturally binds together when compacted, forming a firm yet permeable surface.
Slate Chippings
For a touch of elegance and texture, consider our slate chippings. Sourced from Welsh quarries, these chippings are available in sizes ranging from 20mm to 40mm. Their smooth, flat surfaces make them ideal for pathways, water features, and as mulch around plants, offering a natural look that complements various garden designs.
Grit
Horticultural Grit and Alpine Grit fall under the gravel category and under soil maintenance! This versatile tiny 2 - 6mm stone is amazing at adding drainage back into poor soils, a growing medium for alpines and a decorative grit for topping off plant pot and planters.
Uses and Benefits
Incorporating gravel and aggregates into your outdoor spaces offers numerous advantages:
Weed Suppression: Laying gravel over an anti-weed prevention membrane effectively suppresses weed growth, reducing garden maintenance. It's quick and easy, and will instantly transform any bed or border.
Gravel for Paths and Driveways: Gravel driveways and paths are not only easy to install but also require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice. With so many colours and sizes to choose from you will have no problem getting the look you desire with Dandy's.
Flood Prevention: Gravel driveways facilitate water infiltration into the ground, mitigating surface runoff and aiding in flood prevention.
Crime Deterrence: The distinctive crunching sound of gravel underfoot can deter potential intruders, enhancing property security.
Aesthetic Appeal: With a variety of colours and textures available, gravel and slate chippings can significantly elevate the visual appeal of your garden or driveway.
At Dandy's, we are committed to providing top quality materials to help you achieve your landscaping vision. Explore our extensive range of gravel, slate, and aggregates to find the perfect match for your project.
