Welsh Brown Gravel

Description

Our Welsh Brown Gravel is a long term best seller!  This gravel is ideal for pathways, driveways, around veg plots and raised planters, borders and bed - it can even be used as a drainage stone.  It will never go out of fashion and is always readily available, a true staple here at Dandy's.

This is a rounded stone aggregate, graded to approximately 20mm or 10mm. The colours are a mix of browns and greys so it's a really natural looking stone. These earthy tones have become increasingly more popular with the "Cottage Core" trend.

You can also use gravel to top off your beds and borders - not only does this give a lovely finish, it will also help to suppress weeds and might even deter cats and other critters from making their presence known in your garden! It is a great choice for giving a uniform finish to an area on a budget,  making it the perfect choice if you're trying to rent out or sell your property and need to smarten it up a bit for pictures and viewings.

We can supply you with 3 sizes of bulk bag:

  • Jumbo Bulk Bag which contains approx 1000kg (one tonne)
  • Standard Bulk Bag contains about 750kg (same as most builders merchants)
  • Midi Bulk Bag contains approx 500kg

Small Handy Bags are 25kg and the perfect option if you want a small quantity or if you have access issues and will need to carry through your house or over any walls etc.

We use a variety of delivery vehicles and haulage firms to complete our deliveries.

If you live in or near Chester, we'll deliver to you ourselves with a HGV crane, if you live elsewhere in the UK we'll use a pallet network who will use a manually operated pallet truck to move the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside, onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac (not gravel or grass sorry).

Bulk Bag and Pallet shipping is free to Cheshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, parts of Manchester, parts of Merseyside and Liverpool - outside of this area prices start at £11.95. Parcels, samples and individual small small bags are shipped with Royal Mail and therefore are not free delivery.

Quantity Calculations

Topsoil and Sand

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required

Bark, Mulch and Compost

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth

Garden Lawn Turf

Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed.  We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.

Natural Stone Paving

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need.  Our packs are 15.25m2.

Gravel and Slate

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth

Crusherrun

Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)

Conversion:

1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag

1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Samples are sent with Royal Mail 2nd class service so please allow 3 to 5 working days (please allow extra during Royal Mail Strikes).

Samples are chosen at random and naturally occurring products may vary slightly in shade and particle size, from load to load.

Product Disclaimer

Weeds

We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!

Gravel/Stone Size & Colour

Images are for representation only.  All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary.  Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.

John Morris : supply of drainage pebbles ant MOT.

Having had several orders delivered by Dandy’s in recent days I cannot speak too highly about the office sales team and the delivery drivers. All were efficient, helpful, and cooperative in ensuring deliveries to fit in with my requirements to complete the job . Their courteously and advise were also much appreciated. Overall an excellent company to trade with. Strongly recommended.

Making a gravel seating area.

We needed gravel to make a new seating area outside the back door.
Dandy's have a good range of gravels and it was easy to look over the samples and choose what we wanted. We only had to provide the measurements and the staff quickly worked out how much was needed.
The gravel arrived a few days later and was put out of the way on the driveway by a helpful truck driver.
We found the staff really helpful and delivery was quick and efficient.
We will be going back for gravel for another project once this one is completed.

Delivered on time

Order delivered on time. Good value and service provided. Dropped a mark because it was delivered with pallet truck delivery. I live on a hill so it was difficult to unload the pallet. Can't understand why it isn't delivered with a Hiab lorry.

Products are of good quality. Delivery method is difficult for a home delivery. Items come on pallets unsuitable for their weight and with incorrect tail lift and pump truck

good supplier

we have had many products from Dandy’s ie ..tops oil , welsh stone etc and are
very happy with the product , the delivery and most of all the friendly service.
When a problem does occur they are quick to put right any misdemeanours..
Many companies would do well to follow their blueprint.In a world that is upside down at present it is refreshing to see a company that is forward thinking and progressive..

Delivery

Despite have had many deliveries off you your driver put them on the new lawn rather on the stoned area. I presume it was a new driver. However, after complaining he came back next day to correct this. Much appreciated and will be ordering more stone soon.
