			'description' => '<p><span>Our high quality Organic Green Compost is a very friable and lightweight organic compost that can be used in various applications including soil conditioning, mixing with sands and mulching borders.&#160; Organic green compost adds nutrients and organic matter and is </span><span>an ideal alternative to peat with the added benefit of helping the environment.</span></p>
<p><span>Although this compost is great for blending with your garden soil, it should not be used for planting directly into i.e. filling a flower border, pots or raised beds.<span>&#160; </span>It is a very light material and plants require a stronger growing structure.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Compost is locally sourced and meets the standards of BSI PAS100 and the Compost Quality Protocol.<span>&#160; </span>PAS100 is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Green Compost is recycled green waste which is composted. This is done via windrow (long rows) composting methods which is an organic process. Finally, it is screened to 10mm to give a fine texture.</span></p>
<h2>Organic Green Compost Benefits:</h2>
<ul>
<li><span>Eligible for use in organic systems i.e. U.K. organic farming</span></li>
<li><span>Provides slow release major and micro nutrients</span></li>
<li><span>Improves soil structure / workability &amp; rooting potential</span></li>
<li><span>Increases moisture retention &amp; soil drainage</span></li>
<li><span>Good source of organic matter</span></li>
<li><span>High percentage of dry matter content</span></li>

<p><span>Although this compost is great for blending with your garden soil, it should not be used for planting directly into i.e. filling a flower border, pots or raised beds.<span>&#160; </span>It is a very light material and plants require a stronger growing structure.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Compost is locally sourced and meets the standards of BSI PAS100 and the Compost Quality Protocol.<span>&#160; </span>PAS100 is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Green Compost is recycled green waste which is composted. This is done via windrow (long rows) composting methods which is an organic process. Finally, it is screened to 10mm to give a fine texture.</span></p>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>Rockeries</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and bold! Large garden boulders work beautifully as a central focal point of a rockery and establish&#160;height and dimension. Smaller sized boulders can be closely arranged in to groups of twos or threes. Slate rockery such as </span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong><span> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;can also be placed along the outline of a rockery to form a stylish framework.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Borders</strong> - </span><span>Boulders and rockery are often used alongside&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">decorative gravels &amp; aggregates</a></strong> to create visually pleasing garden borders and planting beds and divide up bigger spaces to establish entirely new areas within your garden.&#160;<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Water Features</strong> - </span><span>Using boulders in a water feature is an easy way to instantly add a magical designer touch. You can be as imaginative as you&#8217;d like - why not arrange two boulders to create a miniature valley&#160;for directing the&#160;flow of a stream or place individual stones on the water&#160;for a ripple effect? There are so many options!<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>General Landscaping</strong> - </span><span>Boulders can be placed in a variety of different ways including single focal points or grouped clusters and can be as simple or as intricately arranged as you please. Perhaps you&#8217;re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children&#8217;s play area - the options are limitless. For stability, we advise burying around &#188; of the boulder&#8217;s height with the heavy side facing down.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Slate Walling</strong> -</span><span><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling"><strong> Slate Walling</strong></a> is durable and simple to maintain and slate wall stones are specially handpicked for creating retaining walls, barbeques or stylish pond borders.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Boulders &amp; Slate Rockery Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There is an incredible difference between rockery and boulders. Boulders are generally larger than slate rockery and there is a remarkable difference in colour, shape and texture.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/boulders">Welsh Quartz and Granite Boulders</a></strong>&#160;are angular and rugged and feature tones of dark and medium greys with hints of brown and pink. The gentle tones will make an immediate impression in traditional English gardens but look just as beautiful in contemporary themes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong>&#160;</span><span>is a striking grey and sometimes features a natural stream of gorgeous gold running through them, and the gorgeous grey tones of our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> gives a lovely natural finish that is far more appealing than any concrete block or manufactured walling.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Longer than normal rockery pieces, our stylish <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;</span><span>features a beautiful hand selected range of plum, green and blue rustic slabs.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Basket Sizes</span></h2>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>As a Focal Point</strong> - </span><span>Monoliths have flat bases and can be tall and vertical, or wide and chunky and drilled if needed as a water feature. No matter what shape and size you choose, Slate Monoliths instantly draw attention and curiosity.<br /><br />We have a wide variety of Monolith shapes and sizes, ranging from 300-1800mm in height. Our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-600mm">600mm</a> </strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-900mm">900mm Monoliths</a></strong> are available as chunky or slender in shape.&#160;<br /><br />For a more rustic and rugged look, slate f<span>eature stones</span><span> can also be used to create a large statement feature in your garden. Slate feature stones are beautiful pieces of grey Welsh slate and are available in <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-medium">Medium</a>, <a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-large">Large </a></strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-x-large">X-large</a></strong> sizes.<br /><br /></span></span>Slate holloliths<span> are striking in appearance and start out as monoliths before a large circular hole is drilled through their centre. Slate holloliths can be used in imaginative ways and combined with planting or lighting. They range in height from 600mm-1800mm.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>As a Water Feature</strong> - </span><span>For use as a water feature, slate monoliths and holloliths can be supplied expertly pre-drilled. You will need a water pump and fittings to create a functioning, impressive garden feature.&#160;<br /><br /></span>Slate feature stones<span> look stunning when placed near water and darken attractively when wet.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Rockery</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and use height for impact. Monoliths and holloliths work well as a main focal point. Feature stones can also be arranged either singly or in groupings within a rockery to great effect.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith &amp; Feature Stone Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Monoliths and holloliths are available in beautiful plum, grey and green slate colours.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Feature stones are </span><span>available in stunning natural grey shades. The stone displays streaks of gold within the grey and darkens stylishly when wet.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith Delivery</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you&#8217;re selecting a monolith or hollolith size, consider the space you have available. As some of our monoliths are up to&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-1800mm">1800mm</a> </strong>high, their immense size means they can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes and would require a mechanical lift to move into place in addition to a strong base or sump. You&#8217;ll need space to manoeuvre this in without damaging nearby flowerbeds or paths.&#160;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>It is important that you understand which surface you want. Resin Bound and Resin Bonded are very distinct:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bonding</span><span> applies a loose gravel finish to a resin bonding coat. This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn&#8217;t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">Driveways</p>
<p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patios</p>
<p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Steps</p>
<p dir="ltr">Parks</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks &#8211; there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute. As a SUDS (Sustainable Urban Development Systems) compliant solution, new drives don&#8217;t require planning permission as long as a porous sub-base or suitable soakaway exists.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>DALTEX is the no 1 brand in resin bound and we supply DALTEX dried aggregates and DALTEX resin to thousands of architects and contractors throughout the UK.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Our expert team can help and advise on any queries you may have about resin drives or paths. Alternatively, visit our </span><a href="https://resinbondedaggregates.com/"><span>dedicated Resin Bound Aggregates website</span></a><span> for more detailed information on how it&#8217;s done, the benefits of the system and to see all the different gravels that are available.</span></p>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>Rockeries</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and bold! Large garden boulders work beautifully as a central focal point of a rockery and establish&#160;height and dimension. Smaller sized boulders can be closely arranged in to groups of twos or threes. Slate rockery such as </span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong><span> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;can also be placed along the outline of a rockery to form a stylish framework.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Borders</strong> - </span><span>Boulders and rockery are often used alongside&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">decorative gravels &amp; aggregates</a></strong> to create visually pleasing garden borders and planting beds and divide up bigger spaces to establish entirely new areas within your garden.&#160;<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Water Features</strong> - </span><span>Using boulders in a water feature is an easy way to instantly add a magical designer touch. You can be as imaginative as you&#8217;d like - why not arrange two boulders to create a miniature valley&#160;for directing the&#160;flow of a stream or place individual stones on the water&#160;for a ripple effect? There are so many options!<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>General Landscaping</strong> - </span><span>Boulders can be placed in a variety of different ways including single focal points or grouped clusters and can be as simple or as intricately arranged as you please. Perhaps you&#8217;re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children&#8217;s play area - the options are limitless. For stability, we advise burying around &#188; of the boulder&#8217;s height with the heavy side facing down.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Slate Walling</strong> -</span><span><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling"><strong> Slate Walling</strong></a> is durable and simple to maintain and slate wall stones are specially handpicked for creating retaining walls, barbeques or stylish pond borders.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Boulders &amp; Slate Rockery Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There is an incredible difference between rockery and boulders. Boulders are generally larger than slate rockery and there is a remarkable difference in colour, shape and texture.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/boulders">Welsh Quartz and Granite Boulders</a></strong>&#160;are angular and rugged and feature tones of dark and medium greys with hints of brown and pink. The gentle tones will make an immediate impression in traditional English gardens but look just as beautiful in contemporary themes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong>&#160;</span><span>is a striking grey and sometimes features a natural stream of gorgeous gold running through them, and the gorgeous grey tones of our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> gives a lovely natural finish that is far more appealing than any concrete block or manufactured walling.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Longer than normal rockery pieces, our stylish <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;</span><span>features a beautiful hand selected range of plum, green and blue rustic slabs.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Basket Sizes</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Boulders are available in three different sizes:&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-150-400mm">150-400mm</a> </strong>(approx 30-50 per crate),<strong>&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-400-600mm">400-600mm</a></strong> (3 or 6 per pallet) and&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulder"><strong>700-1200mm</strong></a>.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Our larger 700-1200mm single boulders are delivered on individual recycled pallets and due to their size they may require a mechanical lift to move into place.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rockery&#160;is delivered in wire cages of approximately 50-70 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery&#160;250-400mm</a></strong></span><span>&#160;or 50-75 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">&#160;300-700mm</a></strong><span>. Each crate of grey&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> contains approximately 1 tonne of slate.</span></p>

<li><span><strong>As a Focal Point</strong> - </span><span>Monoliths have flat bases and can be tall and vertical, or wide and chunky and drilled if needed as a water feature. No matter what shape and size you choose, Slate Monoliths instantly draw attention and curiosity.<br /><br />We have a wide variety of Monolith shapes and sizes, ranging from 300-1800mm in height. Our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-600mm">600mm</a> </strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-900mm">900mm Monoliths</a></strong> are available as chunky or slender in shape.&#160;<br /><br />For a more rustic and rugged look, slate f<span>eature stones</span><span> can also be used to create a large statement feature in your garden. Slate feature stones are beautiful pieces of grey Welsh slate and are available in <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-medium">Medium</a>, <a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-large">Large </a></strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-x-large">X-large</a></strong> sizes.<br /><br /></span></span>Slate holloliths<span> are striking in appearance and start out as monoliths before a large circular hole is drilled through their centre.

<li><span><strong>As a Water Feature</strong> - </span><span>For use as a water feature, slate monoliths and holloliths can be supplied expertly pre-drilled. You will need a water pump and fittings to create a functioning, impressive garden feature.&#160;<br /><br /></span>Slate feature stones<span> look stunning when placed near water and darken attractively when wet.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Rockery</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and use height for impact. Monoliths and holloliths work well as a main focal point. Feature stones can also be arranged either singly or in groupings within a rockery to great effect.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith &amp; Feature Stone Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Monoliths and holloliths are available in beautiful plum, grey and green slate colours.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Feature stones are </span><span>available in stunning natural grey shades. The stone displays streaks of gold within the grey and darkens stylishly when wet.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith Delivery</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you&#8217;re selecting a monolith or hollolith size, consider the space you have available. As some of our monoliths are up to&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-1800mm">1800mm</a> </strong>high, their immense size means they can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes and would require a mechanical lift to move into place in addition to a strong base or sump. You&#8217;ll need space to manoeuvre this in without damaging nearby flowerbeds or paths.&#160;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>It is important that you understand which surface you want. Resin Bound and Resin Bonded are very distinct:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bonding</span><span> applies a loose gravel finish to a resin bonding coat. This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn&#8217;t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">Driveways</p>
<p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patios</p>
<p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Steps</p>
<p dir="ltr">Parks</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks &#8211; there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute. As a SUDS (Sustainable Urban Development Systems) compliant solution, new drives don&#8217;t require planning permission as long as a porous sub-base or suitable soakaway exists.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>DALTEX is the no 1 brand in resin bound and we supply DALTEX dried aggregates and DALTEX resin to thousands of architects and contractors throughout the UK.</span></p>

<p class="large">Gravel and slate driveways are the most popular choice due to it being easy to lay, low maintenance, inexpensive, looks fantastic and there is such a wide variety of colours and textures to choose from, you can create&#160;your own unique driveway.&#160;</p>
<h3>All shapes and colours</h3>
<p class="large">The variation in shape, size and colours between crushed <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/105/260_178__1_Cotswold.%20Driveway%20Insp.%20Prod.jpg?1423480205" width="260" height="178" />aggregate, slate, rounded gravels or self-binding gravel gives unrivalled options over plain tarmac, concrete or paving and nothing looks better than a well laid gravel driveway. Gravel driveways are also a great option for the security conscious. See all the choices on our <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravels and Aggregates</a>&#160;page.</p>
<p class="large">If&#160;you have sloping ground the best choice is slate chippings, you can see our fantastic selection in our <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">Welsh Slate Chippings</a>&#160;section as being flattish in shape they tend to stay in place or <a href="../../../product/cotswold-golden-path-10mm-dust">self binding gravel</a>&#160;where a more solid robust finish is required.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">One of the main considerations when choosing an aggregate for driveways is displacement, nobody wants to end up with ruts in their drive or having to rake the gravel out time and again. Whilst a cheaper local pea gravel is&#160;<img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/702/260_173__1_driveway%20-%20gravel.jpg?1425393487" width="260" height="173" />okay to do the job, this is exactly what can happen as the gradings can be variable and won't neccesarily interlock which causes&#160;one of the main issues with having a gravel driveway which is excessive movement.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">In order to alleviate this we would recommend an angular <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">gravel</a>, <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">slate</a>&#160;or chipping which due to its shape, will interlock together better and will lie flatter and not disperse as easily as rounded gravel.</p>
<p class="large">An angular gravel such as the <a href="../../../product/golden-gravel-20mm">20mm G<img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/703/260_195__1_golden%20gravel%20drive.jpg?1425393488" width="260" height="195" />olden Gravel</a>&#160;or sub-rounded gravel like the <a href="../../../product/cheshire-pink-14mm-gravel">Cheshire Pink</a>&#160;with a grading of 10 to 20mm will be best. A larger sized gravel or slate up to a 40mm is also better as it doesn&#8217;t get stuck in the tread of the tyres.</p>
<p class="large">All of our products intended for drives are listed below with the most popular gravels being <a href="../../../category/golden-gravels">Golden Gravel</a>, <a href="../../../product/cotswold-gold-gravel-14mm">Cotswold Gold</a>, <a href="../../../product/dove-grey-limestone-10-14mm-gravel">Dove Grey</a>, <a href="../../../category/cotswold-buff">Cotswold Buff</a>&#160;which are all available in our&#160;<a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravels and Aggregates section</a>,&#160;and the slatechippings in blue and plum in both sizes, these are all listed in our <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">Welsh Slate Section</a>.</p>
<p class="large">The choice of colours and textures is all down to you <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/754/260_146__1_20141127_151328.jpg?1425738920" width="260" height="146" />whether you want to match a local stone, keep within a chosen colour scheme, whether you are going for a plain neutral natural finish or a bright colourful contrast the choice is yours.</p>
<h3>Quick transformation</h3>
<p class="large">What you will get is a quick and easy transformation to your home. See in the pictures below how some of our customers have transformed their driveways with our products.&#160;</p>
<p class="large">Use our <a href="../../../pages/gravel-calculator">gravel calculator</a>&#160;to find out how much you need. We normally recommend driveways are laid at a thickness of 50mm-60mm.</p>
<h2>Make it Low Maintenance</h2>
<p class="large">The preparation and installation of good solid edges is critical to prevent sp<img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/106/260_146__1_Driveways%20-%20GARDEN%20004.JPG?1423480205" width="260" height="146" />reading of the gravel and give a professional neat frame to the drive and contrast nicely with the gravel whilst keeping the product in place.</p>
<h3>Stop those weeds</h3>
<p class="large"><a href="../../../product/driveway-fabric-weed-prevention-membrane">Weed membrane</a>&#160;laid onto a well compacted MOT Type 1 layer or any solid surface, before the gravel is spread will prevent weeds coming through and keep it low maintenance.</p>
<h3>Harder Wearing</h3>
<p class="large"><a href="../../../product/cotswold-golden-path-10mm-dust">Self Binding Gravel </a>surfaces are made from crushed stone <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/704/260_173__1_Fotolia_52389822_S.jpg?1425393488" width="260" height="173" />graded at 10mm to dust and comes in a beautiful rich golden colour. The material is laid onto compacted <a href="../../../product/mot-type-1">MOT Type 1 </a>but then laid thicker that a normal layer of gravel as it is then rolled and wetted to give a smooth hard compacted surface with a loose gritty surface. This is traditionally used in parks, for cycle ways and for easier mobility areas where it won&#8217;t rut up or spread.</p>
<h3>The Ultimate Driveway</h3>
<p class="large"><img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/754/260_173__1_Autum%20Gold%201-3mm.jpg?1425485266" width="260" height="173" />The ultimate aggregate for driveway&#160;surfacing has to be resin bonded or bound. Where specialist dried aggregates are bound in clear resin and applied to concrete or tarmac drives, giving a fantastic stone carpet of coloured gravels is the most eye-catching, and cost-effective driveway you can get.</p>
<p class="large">For more information on resin bound or resin bonding aggregate, visit our dedicated website <a href="http://resinbondedaggregates.com">http://resinbondedaggregates.com</a>&#160;or contact us for more information on how you can transform your drive or pathway.</p>',

<p class="large"><img src="../../../files/img_cache/114/260_173__1_Rockery%20Insp..jpg?1423484947" alt="" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />The rockery is basically similar in nature to stone escarpments in mountains where large rocks protrude from finer stones and gravel with alpine type plants growing inbetween. The appeal with rockeries is the ability to form a feature within the garden where planting can be quite informal and allowed to develop naturally around the rocks with gravel, slate or pebbles surrounding the rockery stones.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="large"><br /><img src="../../../files/img_cache/761/260_195__1_P5101990.JPG?1425487359" alt="" width="260" height="195" style="float: left;" />The rockery stones are normally around 200-300mm in size, but if the project allows something larger you can use <a href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones_2-medium">Slate Feature Stones</a>.&nbsp;For something more coastal or rounded take a look at the <a href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-boulders-300-600mm">Welsh Quartz Boulders</a>, the large ones are particularly good for featuring in gravel or slate projects as they add a nice contrast and are quite mooth in texture.</p>

It is also perfect for creating natural looking returning walls or barbeques, where the natural beauty of slate stands out against any type of brick or stonework. The slate works well either laid dry or pointed, it can be cut or split quite easily and is much better than the usual brick and block options as it weathers really well and improves all the time, unlike manmade products.</p>
<p class="large">As slate has been used for generations for roofing it is a well used permanent natural choice for many gardens.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="large">Monoliths and standing stones are slender pieces of slate,&nbsp;hand picked form the slate quarries in Wales which are often used as individual focal points.&nbsp;Each piece is totally unique in colour, texture and shape. They can be drilled for water features and have cut flat bases to make installation easy.</p>

<p>Creating groundcover or mulching is essentially to use a <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" alt="Test image" />layer of gravel, slate or pebbles to cover up an area of soil or ground either in between planting or other garden features or for providing a decorative finish, contrast or an edging to paving or grass.</p>
<p><br /><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: left;" />There is nothing better than seeing gravel and cobbled areas interspaced with plants either formally or informally to complement and enhance your gardens design.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Aggregates works as a great alternative to grass or soil, &#160;as they are <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />a nil or low maintenance alternative, allowing you to concentrate on planting schemes or creating beautiful features without the chores of grass cutting or weeding.</p>
<p>There isn't an easier transformation, than levelling out ground, laying out a landscape membrane to prevent the weeds coming back through, cut a cross in the membrane and insert your chosen plants, then spread the aggregate of your choice up to the plant. Then sit back and admire your efforts knowing that you won&#8217;t have to be constantly on the lookout for weeds.</p>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: left;" />If you fancy a change (and a rest) from maintaining a grassy area, no need to remove the grass, merely douse with weed killer, lay the membrane on top and spread the gravel out over it. An instant transformation! All that remains is to get out the garden furniture and light the barbeque.&#160;</p>
<h2>What to use</h2>
<p>Aggregates for groundcover or mulching can be virtually <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: right;" />anything from sand, to any gravel, slate, glass, pebble or cobble. Rockery stone can be used to provide an edging to the gravel to provide a different texture and decorative finish.</p>
<h2>Top tip</h2>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: left;" />Use gravel with rockery stone as the gravel really compliments and highlights the stone especially when using slate rockery. Using rockery with cobbles and pebbles creates a river bed theme to the garden.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Funk it up</h2>
<p>Modern garden designs can be enhanced and created by <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />using coloured gravels in a variety of different ways, for example use black slate or charcoal granite for a monochrome design or silver grey granite to add that zen feel to any garden.</p>
<p>Using glass aggregates is an exciting&#160;way of adding colour to your designs.&#160;Use it on its own or with a combination of other colours to create intricate and interesting combinations. Glass can also be used with water features or ponds to provide a more modern feel and looks amazing when lit up at night to add that real wow factor.&#160;</p>
<h2>Focal Point</h2>
<p>Adding boulders, large slate feature stones or monoliths <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />are a great way of adding a focal point to the garden design, to help create some height and depth. Slate standing stones, monoliths or water features can add that extra level to any sized garden. Create interest within the garden by using mixtures of different products together to create a contrast in textures and colours or both.</p>
<h2>Bringing the great outdoors to your door</h2>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />Using gravel and aggregates for gardens&#160;can create a natural feel by combining planting schemes interspaced with gravel, different sized rocks with smaller ones like you would see at by rivers or on mountain screes. Whatever theme you have in mind&#160;within the garden, whether it be the seashore, a rocky outcrop on the moor, natural pools and rivers. All can be used to help make your garden&#160;something special.&#160;</p>',

Draw out your path using string or a marker, dig out, compact the base, (using an <a href="../../../product/mot-type-1">Mot type</a>&#160;material if required), lay your membrane and level out the gravel of your choice on top.

Use these products to create undulating paths and steps.</p>
<p class="large">We would recommend that a gravel no bigger than 16mm be used on path ways - usually the <a href="../../../category/10-14mm-aggregate">10mm size</a>&#160;is considered the most suitable, we have lots for you to choose from on in our <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravel and Aggregates</a>&#160;category. It&#8217;s easier and more stable for walking on. Alternatively 20mm slate can be used and is particularly good as its flat pieces lay together and form a solid surface for walking on.</p>

<p class="large"><img src="../../../files/img_cache/694/110_195__1_slate%20water%20feature.jpg?1424957839" alt="" width="110" height="195" style="float: left;" />Water features can be made with a monolith, boulder or slate pyramid with water running down surrounded by gravel or pebbles, with plants planted either in the pond and around the <a href="../../../category/boulders-rockery-stone">rocks and boulders</a>&nbsp;to provide a&nbsp;stunning focal point to any garden. Add lighting to create a special atmosphere at nightime. See our range of <a href="../../../category/boulders-rockery-stone">water features</a>&nbsp;and our range of&nbsp;<a href="../../../category/slate-monoliths-feature-stones">monoliths and holloliths</a>&nbsp;from you to choose from.</p>

<p class="large">Create a pond for fish or just a pool with a waterfall.&nbsp;Add rocks or slate walling to form the feature, and decorative with our range of <a href="../../../category/boulders-rockery-stone">Rockery and Boulders</a>.</p>
<p class="large"><img src="../../../files/img_cache/760/228_195__1_Snowdonia%20-%20cat.jpg?1426107409" alt="" width="228" height="196" style="float: left;" />Slate always works particularly well with water especially the <a href="../../../product/snowdonia-polished-slate-20-40mm">Snowdonia Polished Slate</a>, with its mix of green plum and blue colours and waterworn finish. The water brings out its natural beauty giving it a lovely glossy finish. Use any slate chipping or paddlestones round the edge of a pond or in the water feature to highlight its natural beauty. See our full range in the <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">Welsh Slate Section</a>.</p>
<p class="large">Some aggregates are not suitable for fish and we mark these as non fish friendly. This is because they contain natural lime which can leach into the water, so always take care when selecting which aggregate to use for your pond.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large"><img src="../../../files/img_cache/111/260_173__1_Insp%20Water%20Feature%20Rockery.jpg?1423484830" alt="" width="260" height="173" style="float: left;" />Some of the finest show and exhibition gardens will incorporate water either for reflection or movement and it is well worth the effort in the planning stages of the garden.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">Some things to consider is the need for power either for lighting or for a pump.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">A pond membrane to contain the water which can be <img src="../../../files/img_cache/756/260_195__1_P5102074.JPG?1425486399" alt="" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />covered with aggregate, slate or cobbles to disguise the membrane and give a natural finish is the easiest way to create a simple water feature without difficult&nbsp;landscaping.

<p><span>Although this compost is great for blending with your garden soil, it should not be used for planting directly into i.e. filling a flower border, pots or raised beds.<span>&#160; </span>It is a very light material and plants require a stronger growing structure.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Compost is locally sourced and meets the standards of BSI PAS100 and the Compost Quality Protocol.<span>&#160; </span>PAS100 is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Green Compost is recycled green waste which is composted. This is done via windrow (long rows) composting methods which is an organic process. Finally, it is screened to 10mm to give a fine texture.</span></p>
<h2>Organic Green Compost Benefits:</h2>
<ul>
<li><span>Eligible for use in organic systems i.e. U.K. organic farming</span></li>
<li><span>Provides slow release major and micro nutrients</span></li>
<li><span>Improves soil structure / workability &amp; rooting potential</span></li>
<li><span>Increases moisture retention &amp; soil drainage</span></li>
<li><span>Good source of organic matter</span></li>
<li><span>High percentage of dry matter content</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>Rockeries</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and bold! Large garden boulders work beautifully as a central focal point of a rockery and establish&#160;height and dimension. Smaller sized boulders can be closely arranged in to groups of twos or threes. Slate rockery such as </span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong><span> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;can also be placed along the outline of a rockery to form a stylish framework.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Borders</strong> - </span><span>Boulders and rockery are often used alongside&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">decorative gravels &amp; aggregates</a></strong> to create visually pleasing garden borders and planting beds and divide up bigger spaces to establish entirely new areas within your garden.&#160;<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Water Features</strong> - </span><span>Using boulders in a water feature is an easy way to instantly add a magical designer touch. You can be as imaginative as you&#8217;d like - why not arrange two boulders to create a miniature valley&#160;for directing the&#160;flow of a stream or place individual stones on the water&#160;for a ripple effect? There are so many options!<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>General Landscaping</strong> - </span><span>Boulders can be placed in a variety of different ways including single focal points or grouped clusters and can be as simple or as intricately arranged as you please. Perhaps you&#8217;re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children&#8217;s play area - the options are limitless. For stability, we advise burying around &#188; of the boulder&#8217;s height with the heavy side facing down.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Slate Walling</strong> -</span><span><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling"><strong> Slate Walling</strong></a> is durable and simple to maintain and slate wall stones are specially handpicked for creating retaining walls, barbeques or stylish pond borders.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Boulders &amp; Slate Rockery Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There is an incredible difference between rockery and boulders. Boulders are generally larger than slate rockery and there is a remarkable difference in colour, shape and texture.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/boulders">Welsh Quartz and Granite Boulders</a></strong>&#160;are angular and rugged and feature tones of dark and medium greys with hints of brown and pink. The gentle tones will make an immediate impression in traditional English gardens but look just as beautiful in contemporary themes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong>&#160;</span><span>is a striking grey and sometimes features a natural stream of gorgeous gold running through them, and the gorgeous grey tones of our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> gives a lovely natural finish that is far more appealing than any concrete block or manufactured walling.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Longer than normal rockery pieces, our stylish <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;</span><span>features a beautiful hand selected range of plum, green and blue rustic slabs.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Basket Sizes</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Boulders are available in three different sizes:&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-150-400mm">150-400mm</a> </strong>(approx 30-50 per crate),<strong>&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-400-600mm">400-600mm</a></strong> (3 or 6 per pallet) and&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulder"><strong>700-1200mm</strong></a>.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Our larger 700-1200mm single boulders are delivered on individual recycled pallets and due to their size they may require a mechanical lift to move into place.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rockery&#160;is delivered in wire cages of approximately 50-70 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery&#160;250-400mm</a></strong></span><span>&#160;or 50-75 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">&#160;300-700mm</a></strong><span>. Each crate of grey&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> contains approximately 1 tonne of slate.</span></p>

<li><span><strong>As a Focal Point</strong> - </span><span>Monoliths have flat bases and can be tall and vertical, or wide and chunky and drilled if needed as a water feature. No matter what shape and size you choose, Slate Monoliths instantly draw attention and curiosity.<br /><br />We have a wide variety of Monolith shapes and sizes, ranging from 300-1800mm in height. Our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-600mm">600mm</a> </strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-900mm">900mm Monoliths</a></strong> are available as chunky or slender in shape.&#160;<br /><br />For a more rustic and rugged look, slate f<span>eature stones</span><span> can also be used to create a large statement feature in your garden.

<li><span><strong>As a Water Feature</strong> - </span><span>For use as a water feature, slate monoliths and holloliths can be supplied expertly pre-drilled. You will need a water pump and fittings to create a functioning, impressive garden feature.&#160;<br /><br /></span>Slate feature stones<span> look stunning when placed near water and darken attractively when wet.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Rockery</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and use height for impact. Monoliths and holloliths work well as a main focal point. Feature stones can also be arranged either singly or in groupings within a rockery to great effect.</span></li>

<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith &amp; Feature Stone Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Monoliths and holloliths are available in beautiful plum, grey and green slate colours.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Feature stones are </span><span>available in stunning natural grey shades. The stone displays streaks of gold within the grey and darkens stylishly when wet.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith Delivery</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you&#8217;re selecting a monolith or hollolith size, consider the space you have available. As some of our monoliths are up to&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-1800mm">1800mm</a> </strong>high, their immense size means they can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes and would require a mechanical lift to move into place in addition to a strong base or sump.

<p dir="ltr"><span>It is important that you understand which surface you want. Resin Bound and Resin Bonded are very distinct:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bonding</span><span> applies a loose gravel finish to a resin bonding coat. This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn&#8217;t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">Driveways</p>
<p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patios</p>
<p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Steps</p>
<p dir="ltr">Parks</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks &#8211; there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute. As a SUDS (Sustainable Urban Development Systems) compliant solution, new drives don&#8217;t require planning permission as long as a porous sub-base or suitable soakaway exists.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>DALTEX is the no 1 brand in resin bound and we supply DALTEX dried aggregates and DALTEX resin to thousands of architects and contractors throughout the UK.</span></p>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>Rockeries</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and bold! Large garden boulders work beautifully as a central focal point of a rockery and establish&#160;height and dimension. Smaller sized boulders can be closely arranged in to groups of twos or threes. Slate rockery such as </span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong><span> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;can also be placed along the outline of a rockery to form a stylish framework.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Borders</strong> - </span><span>Boulders and rockery are often used alongside&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">decorative gravels &amp; aggregates</a></strong> to create visually pleasing garden borders and planting beds and divide up bigger spaces to establish entirely new areas within your garden.&#160;<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Water Features</strong> - </span><span>Using boulders in a water feature is an easy way to instantly add a magical designer touch. You can be as imaginative as you&#8217;d like - why not arrange two boulders to create a miniature valley&#160;for directing the&#160;flow of a stream or place individual stones on the water&#160;for a ripple effect? There are so many options!<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>General Landscaping</strong> - </span><span>Boulders can be placed in a variety of different ways including single focal points or grouped clusters and can be as simple or as intricately arranged as you please. Perhaps you&#8217;re after a boulder feature in a seating area, a border to create sectioning, or as obstacles for a children&#8217;s play area - the options are limitless. For stability, we advise burying around &#188; of the boulder&#8217;s height with the heavy side facing down.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Slate Walling</strong> -</span><span><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling"><strong> Slate Walling</strong></a> is durable and simple to maintain and slate wall stones are specially handpicked for creating retaining walls, barbeques or stylish pond borders.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Boulders &amp; Slate Rockery Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There is an incredible difference between rockery and boulders. Boulders are generally larger than slate rockery and there is a remarkable difference in colour, shape and texture.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../category/boulders">Welsh Quartz and Granite Boulders</a></strong>&#160;are angular and rugged and feature tones of dark and medium greys with hints of brown and pink. The gentle tones will make an immediate impression in traditional English gardens but look just as beautiful in contemporary themes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery</a></strong>&#160;</span><span>is a striking grey and sometimes features a natural stream of gorgeous gold running through them, and the gorgeous grey tones of our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> gives a lovely natural finish that is far more appealing than any concrete block or manufactured walling.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Longer than normal rockery pieces, our stylish <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><span>&#160;</span><span>features a beautiful hand selected range of plum, green and blue rustic slabs.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Basket Sizes</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Boulders are available in three different sizes:&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-150-400mm">150-400mm</a> </strong>(approx 30-50 per crate),<strong>&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulders-400-600mm">400-600mm</a></strong> (3 or 6 per pallet) and&#160;<a target="_blank" href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-granite-boulder"><strong>700-1200mm</strong></a>.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Our larger 700-1200mm single boulders are delivered on individual recycled pallets and due to their size they may require a mechanical lift to move into place.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rockery&#160;is delivered in wire cages of approximately 50-70 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/graphite-grey-slate-rockery">Graphite Grey Slate Rockery&#160;250-400mm</a></strong></span><span>&#160;or 50-75 pieces for&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">Multicoloured Rustic Slate Rockery</a></strong></span><strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/multicoloured-rustic-slate-rockery">&#160;300-700mm</a></strong><span>. Each crate of grey&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-walling">Slate Walling</a></strong> contains approximately 1 tonne of slate.</span></p>

<ul>
<li><span><strong>As a Focal Point</strong> - </span><span>Monoliths have flat bases and can be tall and vertical, or wide and chunky and drilled if needed as a water feature. No matter what shape and size you choose, Slate Monoliths instantly draw attention and curiosity.<br /><br />We have a wide variety of Monolith shapes and sizes, ranging from 300-1800mm in height. Our&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-600mm">600mm</a> </strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-slender-900mm">900mm Monoliths</a></strong> are available as chunky or slender in shape.&#160;<br /><br />For a more rustic and rugged look, slate f<span>eature stones</span><span> can also be used to create a large statement feature in your garden. Slate feature stones are beautiful pieces of grey Welsh slate and are available in <strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-medium">Medium</a>, <a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-large">Large </a></strong>and&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones-x-large">X-large</a></strong> sizes.<br /><br /></span></span>Slate holloliths<span> are striking in appearance and start out as monoliths before a large circular hole is drilled through their centre. Slate holloliths can be used in imaginative ways and combined with planting or lighting. They range in height from 600mm-1800mm.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>As a Water Feature</strong> - </span><span>For use as a water feature, slate monoliths and holloliths can be supplied expertly pre-drilled. You will need a water pump and fittings to create a functioning, impressive garden feature.&#160;<br /><br /></span>Slate feature stones<span> look stunning when placed near water and darken attractively when wet.<br /><br /></span></li>
<li><span><strong>Rockery</strong> - </span><span>Don&#8217;t be afraid to go big and use height for impact. Monoliths and holloliths work well as a main focal point. Feature stones can also be arranged either singly or in groupings within a rockery to great effect.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith &amp; Feature Stone Colours</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Monoliths and holloliths are available in beautiful plum, grey and green slate colours.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Feature stones are </span><span>available in stunning natural grey shades. The stone displays streaks of gold within the grey and darkens stylishly when wet.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Slate Monolith Delivery</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you&#8217;re selecting a monolith or hollolith size, consider the space you have available. As some of our monoliths are up to&#160;<strong><a target="_blank" href="../../../product/monolith-1800mm">1800mm</a> </strong>high, their immense size means they can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes and would require a mechanical lift to move into place in addition to a strong base or sump. You&#8217;ll need space to manoeuvre this in without damaging nearby flowerbeds or paths.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For more information, refer to the product information page.&#160;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>It is important that you understand which surface you want. Resin Bound and Resin Bonded are very distinct:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bonding</span><span> applies a loose gravel finish to a resin bonding coat. This is sometimes called scattercoat and leaves the crunch and appearance of loose gravel, but with the majority of the gravel bonded into the resin coat.&#160;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound</span><span> is a system of mixing the clear resin with the aggregate, then levelling and smoothing out the gravel to a flat, smooth finish. It can also be used indoors and is a beautiful alternative to tiles or carpets.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Uses</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The porous nature of a resin bound surface means water doesn&#8217;t build up and drains through instead. That makes it a highly popular choice and truly versatile for projects such as:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">Driveways</p>
<p dir="ltr">Footpaths</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patios</p>
<p dir="ltr">Car Parks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Steps</p>
<p dir="ltr">Parks</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Resin Bound Benefits</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Beautiful</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound surfaces are very attractive. Its smooth, uniform finish combined with a stunning range of colours creates limitless design opportunities; from geometric patterns to personalised letters; bespoke logos to contrasting colour blocks &#8211; there is a colour and design to suit any style and age of property.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Versatile:</strong><span> Resin bound is a fantastic way to add kerb appeal to any property. From traditional Victorian terraces to luxury new builds, the driveways, paths and patios of thousands of homes have been improved and transformed with resin bound.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Low Maintenance</strong><span><strong>:</strong> Resin bound systems are weed resistant and simple to clean, and there is no need to rearrange or replace stones displaced by unpredictable weather.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>SUDS Compliant: </strong><span>Resin bound is permeable and able to absorb up to 850L of water per m2 per minute. As a SUDS (Sustainable Urban Development Systems) compliant solution, new drives don&#8217;t require planning permission as long as a porous sub-base or suitable soakaway exists.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>DALTEX is the no 1 brand in resin bound and we supply DALTEX dried aggregates and DALTEX resin to thousands of architects and contractors throughout the UK.</span></p>

<p class="large">Gravel and slate driveways are the most popular choice due to it being easy to lay, low maintenance, inexpensive, looks fantastic and there is such a wide variety of colours and textures to choose from, you can create&#160;your own unique driveway.&#160;</p>
<h3>All shapes and colours</h3>
<p class="large">The variation in shape, size and colours between crushed <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/105/260_178__1_Cotswold.%20Driveway%20Insp.%20Prod.jpg?1423480205" width="260" height="178" />aggregate, slate, rounded gravels or self-binding gravel gives unrivalled options over plain tarmac, concrete or paving and nothing looks better than a well laid gravel driveway. Gravel driveways are also a great option for the security conscious. See all the choices on our <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravels and Aggregates</a>&#160;page.</p>
<p class="large">If&#160;you have sloping ground the best choice is slate chippings, you can see our fantastic selection in our <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">Welsh Slate Chippings</a>&#160;section as being flattish in shape they tend to stay in place or <a href="../../../product/cotswold-golden-path-10mm-dust">self binding gravel</a>&#160;where a more solid robust finish is required.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">One of the main considerations when choosing an aggregate for driveways is displacement, nobody wants to end up with ruts in their drive or having to rake the gravel out time and again. Whilst a cheaper local pea gravel is&#160;<img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/702/260_173__1_driveway%20-%20gravel.jpg?1425393487" width="260" height="173" />okay to do the job, this is exactly what can happen as the gradings can be variable and won't neccesarily interlock which causes&#160;one of the main issues with having a gravel driveway which is excessive movement.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" class="large">In order to alleviate this we would recommend an angular <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">gravel</a>, <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">slate</a>&#160;or chipping which due to its shape, will interlock together better and will lie flatter and not disperse as easily as rounded gravel.</p>
<p class="large">An angular gravel such as the <a href="../../../product/golden-gravel-20mm">20mm G<img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/703/260_195__1_golden%20gravel%20drive.jpg?1425393488" width="260" height="195" />olden Gravel</a>&#160;or sub-rounded gravel like the <a href="../../../product/cheshire-pink-14mm-gravel">Cheshire Pink</a>&#160;with a grading of 10 to 20mm will be best. A larger sized gravel or slate up to a 40mm is also better as it doesn&#8217;t get stuck in the tread of the tyres.</p>
<p class="large">All of our products intended for drives are listed below with the most popular gravels being <a href="../../../category/golden-gravels">Golden Gravel</a>, <a href="../../../product/cotswold-gold-gravel-14mm">Cotswold Gold</a>, <a href="../../../product/dove-grey-limestone-10-14mm-gravel">Dove Grey</a>, <a href="../../../category/cotswold-buff">Cotswold Buff</a>&#160;which are all available in our&#160;<a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravels and Aggregates section</a>,&#160;and the slatechippings in blue and plum in both sizes, these are all listed in our <a href="../../../category/slate-chippings">Welsh Slate Section</a>.</p>
<p class="large">The choice of colours and textures is all down to you <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/754/260_146__1_20141127_151328.jpg?1425738920" width="260" height="146" />whether you want to match a local stone, keep within a chosen colour scheme, whether you are going for a plain neutral natural finish or a bright colourful contrast the choice is yours.</p>
<h3>Quick transformation</h3>
<p class="large">What you will get is a quick and easy transformation to your home. See in the pictures below how some of our customers have transformed their driveways with our products.&#160;</p>
<p class="large">Use our <a href="../../../pages/gravel-calculator">gravel calculator</a>&#160;to find out how much you need. We normally recommend driveways are laid at a thickness of 50mm-60mm.</p>
<h2>Make it Low Maintenance</h2>
<p class="large">The preparation and installation of good solid edges is critical to prevent sp<img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/106/260_146__1_Driveways%20-%20GARDEN%20004.JPG?1423480205" width="260" height="146" />reading of the gravel and give a professional neat frame to the drive and contrast nicely with the gravel whilst keeping the product in place.</p>
<h3>Stop those weeds</h3>
<p class="large"><a href="../../../product/driveway-fabric-weed-prevention-membrane">Weed membrane</a>&#160;laid onto a well compacted MOT Type 1 layer or any solid surface, before the gravel is spread will prevent weeds coming through and keep it low maintenance.</p>
<h3>Harder Wearing</h3>
<p class="large"><a href="../../../product/cotswold-golden-path-10mm-dust">Self Binding Gravel </a>surfaces are made from crushed stone <img style="float: right;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/704/260_173__1_Fotolia_52389822_S.jpg?1425393488" width="260" height="173" />graded at 10mm to dust and comes in a beautiful rich golden colour. The material is laid onto compacted <a href="../../../product/mot-type-1">MOT Type 1 </a>but then laid thicker that a normal layer of gravel as it is then rolled and wetted to give a smooth hard compacted surface with a loose gritty surface. This is traditionally used in parks, for cycle ways and for easier mobility areas where it won&#8217;t rut up or spread.</p>
<h3>The Ultimate Driveway</h3>
<p class="large"><img style="float: left;" alt="" src="../../../files/img_cache/754/260_173__1_Autum%20Gold%201-3mm.jpg?1425485266" width="260" height="173" />The ultimate aggregate for driveway&#160;surfacing has to be resin bonded or bound. Where specialist dried aggregates are bound in clear resin and applied to concrete or tarmac drives, giving a fantastic stone carpet of coloured gravels is the most eye-catching, and cost-effective driveway you can get.</p>
<p class="large">For more information on resin bound or resin bonding aggregate, visit our dedicated website <a href="http://resinbondedaggregates.com">http://resinbondedaggregates.com</a>&#160;or contact us for more information on how you can transform your drive or pathway.</p>',

The appeal with rockeries is the ability to form a feature within the garden where planting can be quite informal and allowed to develop naturally around the rocks with gravel, slate or pebbles surrounding the rockery stones.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="large"><br /><img src="../../../files/img_cache/761/260_195__1_P5101990.JPG?1425487359" alt="" width="260" height="195" style="float: left;" />The rockery stones are normally around 200-300mm in size, but if the project allows something larger you can use <a href="../../../product/slate-feature-stones_2-medium">Slate Feature Stones</a>.&nbsp;For something more coastal or rounded take a look at the <a href="../../../product/welsh-quartz-boulders-300-600mm">Welsh Quartz Boulders</a>, the large ones are particularly good for featuring in gravel or slate projects as they add a nice contrast and are quite mooth in texture.</p>

It is also perfect for creating natural looking returning walls or barbeques, where the natural beauty of slate stands out against any type of brick or stonework. The slate works well either laid dry or pointed, it can be cut or split quite easily and is much better than the usual brick and block options as it weathers really well and improves all the time, unlike manmade products.</p>
<p class="large">As slate has been used for generations for roofing it is a well used permanent natural choice for many gardens.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="large">Monoliths and standing stones are slender pieces of slate,&nbsp;hand picked form the slate quarries in Wales which are often used as individual focal points.&nbsp;Each piece is totally unique in colour, texture and shape. They can be drilled for water features and have cut flat bases to make installation easy.</p>
<p class="large">Sizes can vary from 300mm up to several metre<img src="../../../files/img_cache/116/260_195__1_CIMG0473.JPG?1425487187" alt="" width="260" height="195" style="float: right;" />s high and are all totally unique and special in character.

<p>Creating groundcover or mulching is essentially to use a <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" alt="Test image" />layer of gravel, slate or pebbles to cover up an area of soil or ground either in between planting or other garden features or for providing a decorative finish, contrast or an edging to paving or grass.</p>
<p><br /><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: left;" />There is nothing better than seeing gravel and cobbled areas interspaced with plants either formally or informally to complement and enhance your gardens design.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Aggregates works as a great alternative to grass or soil, &#160;as they are <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />a nil or low maintenance alternative, allowing you to concentrate on planting schemes or creating beautiful features without the chores of grass cutting or weeding.</p>
<p>There isn't an easier transformation, than levelling out ground, laying out a landscape membrane to prevent the weeds coming back through, cut a cross in the membrane and insert your chosen plants, then spread the aggregate of your choice up to the plant. Then sit back and admire your efforts knowing that you won&#8217;t have to be constantly on the lookout for weeds.</p>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: left;" />If you fancy a change (and a rest) from maintaining a grassy area, no need to remove the grass, merely douse with weed killer, lay the membrane on top and spread the gravel out over it. An instant transformation! All that remains is to get out the garden furniture and light the barbeque.&#160;</p>
<h2>What to use</h2>
<p>Aggregates for groundcover or mulching can be virtually <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="146" style="float: right;" />anything from sand, to any gravel, slate, glass, pebble or cobble. Rockery stone can be used to provide an edging to the gravel to provide a different texture and decorative finish.</p>
<h2>Top tip</h2>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: left;" />Use gravel with rockery stone as the gravel really compliments and highlights the stone especially when using slate rockery. Using rockery with cobbles and pebbles creates a river bed theme to the garden.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Funk it up</h2>
<p>Modern garden designs can be enhanced and created by <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="196" style="float: right;" />using coloured gravels in a variety of different ways, for example use black slate or charcoal granite for a monochrome design or silver grey granite to add that zen feel to any garden.</p>
<p>Using glass aggregates is an exciting&#160;way of adding colour to your designs.&#160;Use it on its own or with a combination of other colours to create intricate and interesting combinations. Glass can also be used with water features or ponds to provide a more modern feel and looks amazing when lit up at night to add that real wow factor.&#160;</p>
<h2>Focal Point</h2>
<p>Adding boulders, large slate feature stones or monoliths <img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />are a great way of adding a focal point to the garden design, to help create some height and depth. Slate standing stones, monoliths or water features can add that extra level to any sized garden. Create interest within the garden by using mixtures of different products together to create a contrast in textures and colours or both.</p>
<h2>Bringing the great outdoors to your door</h2>
<p><img src="../../../files/img_cache/119/260_195_no-image.png.webp?1718715558" alt="Test image" width="260" height="173" style="float: right;" />Using gravel and aggregates for gardens&#160;can create a natural feel by combining planting schemes interspaced with gravel, different sized rocks with smaller ones like you would see at by rivers or on mountain screes. Whatever theme you have in mind&#160;within the garden, whether it be the seashore, a rocky outcrop on the moor, natural pools and rivers. All can be used to help make your garden&#160;something special.&#160;</p>',

Draw out your path using string or a marker, dig out, compact the base, (using an <a href="../../../product/mot-type-1">Mot type</a>&#160;material if required), lay your membrane and level out the gravel of your choice on top. Be as inspired as you like by making curves, patterns or paths that cross in different aggregates and to lead the focus through the garden.</p>

Use these products to create undulating paths and steps.</p>
<p class="large">We would recommend that a gravel no bigger than 16mm be used on path ways - usually the <a href="../../../category/10-14mm-aggregate">10mm size</a>&#160;is considered the most suitable, we have lots for you to choose from on in our <a href="../../../category/gravels-aggregates">Gravel and Aggregates</a>&#160;category. It&#8217;s easier and more stable for walking on. Alternatively 20mm slate can be used and is particularly good as its flat pieces lay together and form a solid surface for walking on.</p>

<p class="large">If you need a little more from your path than just to be walked on, such as prams, bikes, wheelchairs etc. Keep that natural feel&#160;with&#160;the <a href="../../../product/cotswold-golden-path-10mm-dust">Cotswold Golden Path</a>. It&#160;is ideal as it provides a long lasting solid base with a natural grit surface and a beautiful golden finish.</p>

<p class="large">Some aggregates are not suitable for fish and we mark these as non fish friendly. This is because they contain natural lime which can leach into the water, so always take care when selecting which aggregate to use for your pond.</p>

							<p><span>Our high quality Organic Green Compost is a very friable and lightweight organic compost that can be used in various applications including soil conditioning, mixing with sands and mulching borders.&#160; Organic green compost adds nutrients and organic matter and is </span><span>an ideal alternative to peat with the added benefit of helping the environment.</span></p>
<p><span>Although this compost is great for blending with your garden soil, it should not be used for planting directly into i.e. filling a flower border, pots or raised beds.<span>&#160; </span>It is a very light material and plants require a stronger growing structure.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Compost is locally sourced and meets the standards of BSI PAS100 and the Compost Quality Protocol.<span>&#160; </span>PAS100 is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector.</span></p>
<p><span>Our Organic Green Compost is recycled green waste which is composted. This is done via windrow (long rows) composting methods which is an organic process. Finally, it is screened to 10mm to give a fine texture.</span></p>
<h2>Organic Green Compost Benefits:</h2>
<ul>
<li><span>Eligible for use in organic systems i.e. U.K. organic farming</span></li>
<li><span>Provides slow release major and micro nutrients</span></li>
<li><span>Improves soil structure / workability &amp; rooting potential</span></li>
<li><span>Increases moisture retention &amp; soil drainage</span></li>
<li><span>Good source of organic matter</span></li>
<li><span>High percentage of dry matter content</span></li>
