Our bagged 40mm sub base is perfect for use with our slate or granite patio paving packs.

Sub base is the term used to describe the layer immediately beneath the surface of a paved area.  Another terms for it is "ballast"and it is also known as "scalpings"

Typically the final surface will be made of stone paving, gravel, concrete or bitumen macadam.

The sub base layer is beneath this and provides strength and stability to the surface it supports. Laying the final layer of paving on a poorly prepared surface will result in early failure of the paved surface.

Sub base or scalpings, consist of a graded blend of particles sized to a maximum of 40mm.

50 - 200mm nominal graded hardcore - This has fine material removed from it which makes it useable in wet weather conditions. It is permeable and can be used for drainage uses or as a filling material for gabion baskets. Learn More

Gabion baskets filled with stone are a quick and inexpensive method of constructing a retaining wall. In the first option the whole basket is filled with 50 - 200mm graded Lantoom stone. This provides a strong and economical wall with the attractive colours of Lantoom stone showing on the face of the wall. A 1 cubic metre gabion basket requires approximately 1.5 tonnes of stone. The second option is to face the basket with our small walling stone, and then fill in the rest with 50 - 200mm stone. The larger stones require building into the basket instead of being shovelled or tipped in. It is also important to check whether the aperture of your gabions (i.e. the size of the holes in the cages) is small enough that the smaller sized stones will not fall through. Even with wide gaps in your baskets, you can place the wider stones near the front. Learn More
