This material is used as a sub-base for all paved or gravel areas. 804 gravel is a crushed rock that can be used as a sub-base under garden paths, paving areas, and driveways.
Solid 804 sub base gravel, is a highly versatile crushed rock material that is commonly used as a foundational layer beneath paved or gravel surfaces. It provides excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for applications such as garden paths, driveways, and parking areas.
The material is made up of a mix of angular stones and fines, which, when compacted, create a solid and durable foundation that can withstand heavy traffic and prevent shifting or settling over time. Its gradation typically ranges from small fines to larger stones, allowing it to interlock tightly and form a stable, drainage-efficient base.
Solid 804 sub base gravel is designed to ensure that the surface above it, whether it's paved, gravel, or any other material—remains level and structurally sound for years to come. It also helps with water drainage, preventing the accumulation of excess moisture that could cause surface damage. With its robustness, this sub base is particularly suitable for areas subjected to frequent use and varying weather conditions.
In summary, Solid 804 sub base gravel is an essential material for any project requiring a solid, reliable, and well-draining foundation for paved or gravel surfaces, enhancing both the longevity and performance of the finished installation.
You will need a base of approximately 5cm. This should be compacted with a whacker or roller to provide a level and firm surface.
1 bag should cover approx. 15 sq metres.
