Product Information

Full details

This 10mm non-decorative pea shingle gravel is designed for contractors and homeowners seeking a versatile, functional aggregate for sub-surface and utility landscaping tasks. Its primary benefit lies in its utility for drainage and pipe bedding, providing excellent compaction and water permeability in a manageable 25kg bag. However, users should be aware that as this is a natural product, variations in stone colour, shape, and grading are expected, making it unsuitable for decorative applications where visual uniformity is required.

FAQs

Is this gravel suitable for driveways?

This is a non-decorative utility gravel. While it can function as a sub-base, it is not optimized for aesthetic driveway finishes.

Can I expect the stones to look exactly like the sample photo?

No. Because this is a natural product, you should expect variations in colour, shape, and size grading.

How much area does one 25kg bag cover?

Coverage depends on the depth required, but typically a 25kg bag covers approximately 0.2 to 0.3 square meters at a 50mm depth.

Is this product washed?

Pea shingle often contains natural fines. If the application requires dust-free gravel, it may need to be washed before use.

Is this gravel safe for pond use?

It is not specifically graded or cleaned for aquatic life, so it is recommended for landscaping and utility purposes only.

Troubleshooting

Water is not draining as expected.

Ensure the depth of the aggregate is sufficient and check that the underlying soil or geotextile membrane is not clogged with fine silt.

The gravel is shifting too much.

Apply a heavier compaction effort or use a professional-grade edger to contain the shingle within the target area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for functional drainage and pipe bedding
  • Easy-to-handle 25kg weight
  • Suitable for high-load utility applications
  • Provides excellent stability when compacted

Cons

  • Not intended for decorative use
  • Appearance varies significantly due to natural sourcing
  • Not uniform in stone shape or colour

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this product effectively, ensure your work area is cleared of debris before laying the gravel. When using for drainage, consider laying a geotextile membrane beneath the shingle to prevent the stones from migrating into the underlying soil. As this is a natural product, be prepared for dust or minor residue upon opening the bag; it is recommended to wear gloves and proper footwear when handling. No long-term maintenance is required for sub-surface utility use; however, for drainage applications, check the area periodically to ensure the shingle has not been displaced by heavy ground shifting or severe erosion.
