Brown Gravels & Chippings

Types

Our brown gravel range includes two products – Quartz Pea Gravel and River Washed Gravel, available in sizes of 10mm and 20mm. Brown chippings look stunning in both wet and dry conditions, so you know your garden will be the envy of your neighbours no matter the weather.

Uses

The most common sized brown gravel for driveways and footpaths is between 14mm and 20mm as pieces this size lock together when driven on and are less prone to dispersion and crushing down under the weight of vehicles. Anything smaller than these sizes are also likely to become stuck in tyre treads and Prince George Stone World would never recommend a gravel of this size for driveways, our recommendation is a 20mm gravel. We recommend a gravel no smaller than 10mm for pathways as anything smaller will easily wash away in heavy rain and become stuck in shoe treads. All our gravels are suitable for decorative purposes for water features such as fountains. Our decorative brown chippings and gravel can also be used to bring borders, flower beds and pots and planters to life. Care and upkeep To keep the colour of your brown gravel as pristine as possible, hose down regularly to remove dirt, paying extra attention to areas near thick greenery or water features as these are likely to attract moss and mould.
