Picking the right product

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Banbury site

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Banbury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• With roughly 7h 44m of daylight in Banbury around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
