Rivar Sand and Gravel are happy to say that our chosen charity that that we have elected to support is West Berkshire Mencap.
We look forward to contributing to a great cause as well as supporting a local charity who do so much great work.
Rivar Sand and Gravel Landscape Centres will continue its local sponsorship initiative by sponsoring the Newbury in Bloom 2016. The competition will
be taking place in September and aims to improve the look of our town so it is a more pleasant place to live, visit and work.
Hedgehog Awareness week for 2016 is coming up on the week commencing the 1st May and the main focus for the week is bringing to light the problems
hedgehogs face but also aims to show how the public can help.
On the 4th of April, Rivar Sand and Gravel gave its final farewell to the old Hilliers Garden Centre on London Road and moved to Within Wyevale Garden
Centre on London Road.
The move, which is actually only down the road, is due to take place on the 4th April and will see our new depot open with this fantastic paving display,
which really showcases our entire paving range.
A short while back, we had a customer at our Newbury depot making a purchase of Rock Salt which ordinarily is used in cold conditions and in the winter
to combat the icy conditions associated with these times. This admittedly had us confused as the weather was neither cold nor icy, in fact it was
the exact opposite.
