Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of sand for paving?
The best sand for paving is usually washed river sand or paving sand, as both have a fine, consistent texture that compacts well between pavers. Washed river sand is cleaned to remove silt, clay, and debris, ensuring a stable, even surface. For paver installation, a layer of paving sand helps create a level base and prevents movement over time. It’s important to pair the right sand type with proper compaction techniques to avoid uneven surfaces or sinking pavers. For outdoor areas exposed to heavy rain, using a coarse bedding sand can improve drainage and stability.
How much sand do I need for my project?
The amount of sand needed depends on the size, depth, and type of your project. For example, paving typically requires around 20–30mm of bedding sand, while filling or levelling may require a deeper layer. To calculate volume, multiply the length × width × depth (in metres) to get cubic metres. One cubic metre of sand usually weighs around 1.5 tonnes, so for larger projects, bulk delivery is more cost-effective. Many suppliers can help convert your measurements into the exact volume and weight required, ensuring you only order what you need.
What’s the difference between washed sand and fill sand?
Washed sand has been cleaned to remove clay, silt, and impurities, leaving fine, uniform grains ideal for concreting, paving, or play areas. Fill sand, on the other hand, is a cheaper, coarse option often used for backfilling trenches, raising low areas, or as a sub-base under concrete slabs. While fill sand isn’t suitable for applications needing a smooth finish, it’s excellent for improving drainage or filling large voids. Choosing between the two depends on whether the sand will be visible, compacted for structural purposes, or used purely for fill.

Sand
We know that healthy soil is the foundation of any successful landscaping project. Our range includes blends for different purposes, from sandy loams for better drainage to nutrient-rich organic mixes for retaining moisture and promoting plant growth. Our screened soils provide a smooth, even base for turf, while unscreened options are ideal for bulk fill.
We’ll work with you to match the right soil to your application—whether that’s a vegetable garden, native planting, or topdressing your lawn—so your landscape is built on the best possible foundation. With the right soil, your plants have everything they need to thrive naturally.
Soil
We supply gravels for a wide range of uses, including driveways, pathways, drainage, and decorative landscaping. With options in various sizes, colours, and textures, we can help you select a gravel that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Coarse gravel works well for high-traffic areas, while smaller aggregates and decorative stones add style to garden beds and water features. For drainage applications, we recommend clean, angular gravel to ensure water flows freely and erosion is minimised. We take the time to ensure your gravel choice balances performance, durability, and aesthetic appeal for your outdoor space.
