Select materials for each part of the job
Patios, paths and garden-building bases depend on more than the visible paving. The loading, ground and drainage requirements affect what belongs beneath the finished surface. We supply paving slabs and aggregates for hard landscaping, base preparation and general garden work. When choosing paving, consider appearance alongside dimensions, slip resistance and how the surface will meet nearby paths, planting or buildings. For aggregates, the intended layer matters. Sub-base material creates support, bedding material helps lay the surface correctly, and decorative aggregate provides a visible finish. We can explain these different roles when you visit our Kettering site.
Measure area and depth before ordering
Accurate measurements help reduce shortages and large amounts of surplus. Record the length and width of the area, then note the required depth for each aggregate layer. Paving layouts may also need allowance for cuts and the chosen pattern. Bring this information when requesting quantity guidance or a quotation. We provide advice to public and trade customers and can arrange delivery to suitable homes or sites for bulky material orders. Access matters for delivery, so tell us about narrow roads, gates or restricted unloading areas before the order is confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
What measurements do we need for an aggregate quote?
Measure the area's length and width, then note the planned depth of each layer. Tell us the intended use, such as a path, patio or building base, because different applications may need different materials.
What is the difference between aggregate layers?
Sub-base aggregate supports the construction, bedding material provides the laying layer and decorative aggregate forms a visible finish. The right products and depths depend on the surface and expected loading.
Can paving slabs and aggregates be delivered?
We can arrange delivery to suitable homes or sites for appropriate orders. Please share the required products, quantities and unloading access when requesting a quotation so we can discuss practical arrangements.
