What type of sand should be used for paving?

Paving projects typically use coarse bedding sand under pavers to create a stable base, and fine jointing sand to lock the pavers in place. Using the correct sand helps improve drainage, reduce movement and extend the life of the paved area. Bricklaying sand is not suitable for paving bases.

What gravel is best for driveways?

Crushed rock or road base is commonly used for gravel driveways because it compacts well and forms a stable surface. Decorative gravel can be added on top, but it should be supported by a properly prepared base. Correct depth, edging and drainage help prevent shifting and ruts.

How do I choose the right soil for my garden?

Choosing the right soil depends on the plants and site conditions. General garden soil suits most planting, while premium topsoil is often used for lawns. Many gardens benefit from blended soils that balance drainage and nutrients. Soil testing can help identify if improvements are needed.
