We supply several types of base layer aggregates in bulk bags from our own local quarry facility. These gravels can generally be divided into three different types: natural aggregates, secondary aggregates and recycled aggregates. 

​

Natural aggregate type 1 is commonly used within a path’s base layer whereas type 2 is normally used in the lower part only as it is not as strong as type 1. In contrast, type 3 is finer still and used as a draining base layer. Other natural aggregates include crusher run and scalpings. Both of these materials are quarry waste and vary in strength.

​

Secondary and recycled aggregates are becoming increasingly common, and include demolition waste and road planings.

​

Delivery throughout the Isle of Lewis and Harris will be in 850kgs bulk bags from a mounted loader crane vehicle which requires 2.76m (9ft) minimum width for access. The crane arm can reach between 6.0-8.0m (19.5-26.0ft), depending on access and obstacles.
