Aggregates?Cobbles?

To get rid of the weeds i have laid down the weed fibre in all the flower bed & now i want to cverit with aggrgates & cobbles.Does anyone know a place where i can get a good variety at a reasonable cost.I have looked into B&Q but I did not like their cheap aggregates & cobbles there semm to be expensive

Does anyone have any idea??
Thanx :confused:

 

Try building suppliers,they store all kinds and are usually better priced. Best to look out for a local building site or two and ask where they get their materials from.(you never know your luck,you might be able to do a deal if they have some "lying around")
Our supplier will deliver any amount needed, by the bag or lorry load, collect yourself and it's even cheaper.

 

Paladin's right.

I'm planning to covery an area with shingle and have found it at a local builder's merchants at a fraction of the cost than B&Q and I'm getting it delivered free!!

Support your local businessman!! :D :D

 

I have used, and am very happy with, fabric covered with 20 mil gravel from a building supplies merchant - now about �£35 per ton often delivered free.

At one time I thought of a nice coloured gravel, but I am very glad I used the standard mottled stuff. After a while you get bits in the gravel - leaves - soil or mulch thrown there by the birds. It hardly shows on multicoloured gravel but would stand out like dirt on a plain coloured carpet on a single coloured gravel.

 

thanx for the information...i never thought of it!i hope i would get someone in birmingham with such an offer
