How much will you need?

This depends on how big an area you have and how thick you want the coverage to be.
As a guide, 1 cubic metre compacted will cover approx. 10 m2 at 75 mm thick.

For successful laying, we recommend you:

1. Dig out the intended area to be covered, to a depth of approx. 75mm
2. Slightly dampen the material chosen and spread evenly with shovel
3. Smooth out with the back of a rake or similar object
4. Water LIGHTLY
5. Best results are gained when a roller or compacter is used to compact the material.
