Gravel Suppliers, Cotswold Chippings, Stone and Gravel, Moonstone

When you consider which landscaping material you’d like to use for your pathway, whether it is in a commercial or domestic setting then we’re compelled, as experienced professional stone and gravel suppliers, to urge you to think about selecting stone or gravel to guarantee longevity, aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Gravel is…
- Attractive.
- Cost effective.
- Easy to install.
- Low maintenance.
- Versatile.
- Functional.
- Durable.
- Has different size options.
- A variety of textures and colours.
- Available in local products and those from further afield.
- Able to offer classic, contemporary and vibrant choices.
- Readily available through gravel suppliers. (Us!)
You can utilise gravels like buff-yellow Cotswold Chippings, black, white, brown and grey Moonstone Gravel or turquoise, white and pink Flamingo Gravel almost anywhere around the exterior of a property.
At Rivar Sand and Gravel we stock DIY project bulk bags and larger quantities for landscapers in our Tadley, Newbury and Windlesham premises.
We also have unrivalled levels of knowledge, friendliness and efficiency and this ensures that your plans can see fruition without delay and with our assurance that you’re achieving maximum life span and functionality. We know that you don’t want to waste time or money, we waste neither.
If you intend to use gravel for a new path or to enliven an existing one then it’s best to use a layer of membrane over the soil so that both the membrane and the top layer, which is the gravel, can stop weeds from appearing.
You should consider a product like our stone and gravel installation favourite, Marropave, which provides a robust base to your path that serves two functions, it keeps gravel tidy and it bears the weight of people (and vehicles.) These could save you from maintenance tasks, which aren’t plentiful, but would you rather be relaxing or weeding?
Whichever product you purchase, it must deliver top level functionality with the optimum aesthetics. For example, do you really want a gravel that looks like a cat litter tray product? Is the gravel you’re choosing suitable for paths by ponds or will water damage it? Will it fly up when you walk on it?
We are keen to help with your fact-finding tasks.
As your mind wanders through Rivar Sand and Gravel’s stone and gravel possibilities don’t forget that different materials can be used together with gratifying effects.
- Stone and gravel that contain quartz can gleam alongside paving with quartz.
- An area covered with landscaping bark will compliment a path comprised of Toffee Gravel or contrast with White Dolomite gravel.
- A small courtyard could boast a gravel path of buff-yellow gravel like Cotswold Chippings. This has the visual quality of expanding a space.
- Black porcelain paving with Green Basalt Gravel offers a contemporary look which will be low maintenance and high on appeal.
Your garden, front of property and pathway areas should reflect your personality so lose yourself in the realm of stone and gravel choices and find your perfect match.
