Whats a finer grade than 804?

    I did our large yard with 804 a good few years back and I'd like to top it up a bit and improve the levels for drainage.

    The previous 804 if thats what it was, was a bit to course leaving a lot of large aggregate on the surface.

    This time I'd like something that compacts the same way with no voids but doesn't have so much large gravel in it so I can get a smoother finish.

    Something like 20mm and smaller would be ideal.

    Is there such a thing and is there a specification for it, so I know what to ask for if I can find someone I can order it from?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Nice idea but thats stuff is far to posh for the yard I need about 2 10 tonne lorry loads. Bound gravel would be nice but I know I can't afford it :)

    I was just looking for something cheap I can order direct by the lorry load from the quarry (when they are open again that is).

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    ring your local quarry. they will be open. road works and agri jobs are still going. i see concrete trucks on the road.

    you can get 20 mm down if thats what you want. it depends on how big of holes you have . millwaste would compact nicly if its only a thin layer
