Eco-friendly

Crafted from premium recycled concrete, this is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials, reducing waste and conserving natural resources. Despite being recycled, the material still offers long-lasting strength and is resilient to weather and heavy use. Opting for recycled materials means you’re participating in a closed environmental loop, so this is an ideal choice for the planet-conscious landscaper.

Step by step

How to use 40–70mm Recycled Concrete

  1. 01Before laying the aggregate, ensure the surface is clean and level. For pathways or driveways, consider digging out a base layer of soil or existing material to create the desired depth.
  2. 02Spread the aggregate evenly across the surface, using a rake or shovel to distribute it. For a firmer surface, compact the material using a mechanical plate compactor.
  3. 03If using it as a base for pavers or garden features, lay the aggregate evenly, then add your pavers or features on top.
  4. 04For decorative uses, such as around garden beds or as a feature in landscaping, ensure the aggregate is spread evenly and level.
