DIY garden upgrade

richiemack

Hi all I am looking at putting down some stone on my driveway from Roadstone like one of these - https://roadstone.ie/product/decorative-stone

Has anyone laid it before? Looks like we will need 20 tonne, which sounds a lot but wonder is it too much for one man to take on at the weekend.

Thanks

Hi OP what is there now? If hardcore you're better off 'blinding' it with dust (fine particles in the same colour) and then spreading the pebble over that. You could do the dust one weekend and the pebble the next, 10 tonne of each.

These guys will have both and should be happy to deliver those amounts of each to you, be way cheaper than Roadstone.

If you're talking about spreading it from a pile with a shovel and wheelbarrow 20 tonne is a lot to try and do for one man in two days. If you know someone with a tactor and back box it'll save you a lot of very hard work.
