Previously on smaller jobs I’ve bought bulk bags from merchants. So basically 850kg for £35.
Doing my drive at the minute and calculated I need about 36 tonnes for a 130mm base. I thought I’d get it in two 18 tonne loads so I can whacker down and set my edging stones before filling up with the other half.
I’m feeling a bit diddled..... Got an 18 tonne load for £420 (£23/tonne) which I’m assuming is reclaimed MOT as it’s very dark grey but recon I didn’t get nearly as much as I should of done because it was so wet. Probably paid for 5 tonne of water as I’ve barely covered an inch of my 130sqm area.
Is fresh quarried MOT light in colour? Apart from a different supplier, how can I ensure the stone isn’t saturated? Anyone know any decent places in the West Midlands who do good stone at a good price for full loads? If I’m getting similar loads again I’m gonna blow my budget on sub base!
Remember I’m tight as a gnats ar5e
