To calculate how much gravel you need, start by measuring the area’s length and width in metres, then decide on the depth of coverage. Multiply length × width × depth (converted to metres) to get the volume in cubic metres. For example, a 5m × 3m area with a 10cm depth (0.1m) would require 1.5m³ of gravel. It’s wise to add 5–10% extra to account for compaction and uneven surfaces. Most suppliers offer assistance or online calculators to help confirm your order based on gravel density and the specific application.

Yes, decorative stone is an excellent choice for pathways due to its durability, visual appeal, and low-maintenance nature. It's available in various colours, shapes, and sizes, allowing for custom design options. Smaller stones, around 10–20mm, are typically more comfortable to walk on. For best results, install a compacted base layer with weed matting underneath to prevent movement and reduce weed growth. Decorative stone doesn’t decompose like mulch, making it a long-lasting solution for areas with foot traffic. It also improves drainage and suits both modern and natural landscape designs.

The best soil for vegetable gardens is rich in organic matter, well-draining, and full of nutrients. A quality garden mix often includes screened topsoil, compost, and materials like sand or perlite to improve drainage and structure. Vegetables thrive in loose, friable soil that retains moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged. pH should be neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the crop. Testing your soil and adding amendments such as compost or aged manure can boost performance. Regular mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping your garden productive throughout the growing season.
