High quality and reliable soil aggregates

Top soil:

The uppermost layer of soil, and it is rich in nutrients and organic matter. This makes it ideal for plant growth, as it provides the nutrients that plants need to thrive. Topsoil also helps to improve drainage and aeration in soil, which is important for plant health.

Subsoil:

The layer of soil below topsoil, and it is typically less fertile. However, subsoil can be important for drainage and aeration, and it can also help to anchor plants in place

Clay:

A type of soil that is made up of very small particles. This makes it very good at holding water and nutrients, which makes it ideal for plants that need moisture.

Fill sand:

A type of sand that is extracted from quarries. It is typically very coarse, and it is good for compacting. This makes it ideal for use in foundations and paths.

Grit/sharp sand:

A type of sand that is made up of small, sharp particles. This makes it very good for drainage, as it allows water to flow freely. It is also good for use in sandboxes, as it is not as likely to cause injuries as other types of sand.

As dug soil:

Soil that has been excavated from the ground. It typically contains a variety of materials, including topsoil, subsoil, clay, and sand. This makes it a good all-purpose soil for general landscaping.

Screened soil:

Soil that has been passed through a screen to remove rocks and other debris. This makes it a good choice for planting, as it is free of obstructions that could damage plants.

Washed concrete sand:

Concrete sand that has been cleaned of cement and other impurities. This makes it a good choice for mortar and grout, as it will not cloud the mix.

Washed builders sand:

Builders sand that has been cleaned of dirt and other debris. This makes it a good choice for plastering and concrete work, as it will not create a mess.

Washed soft/fine sand:

A very fine and smooth sand. This makes it a good choice for sandblasting and polishing, as it will not scratch surfaces.

Filled sand ENAT specification:

This loose, unscreened aggregate is ideal for trench backfill and as a binding layer prior to pouring concrete. ENA TS 97 1-compliant. Suitable for high voltage cables.

Equestrian sand:

Also known as arena sand, this is a specialised sand used in horse riding arenas. Its consistent particle size and composition provides a stable and supportive surface for horses to move on. It offers excellent drainage, reducing the risk of mud and puddles. It ensures horse comfort and hoof health by minimising strain on horse muscles and tendons.

What are the benefits of using soil aggregates?

There are many benefits of using soil aggregates, including:

Improved drainage: Soil aggregates help to improve drainage by creating spaces between the soil particles. This allows water to flow more freely through the soil, which can help to prevent waterlogging and erosion.

Increased aeration: Soil aggregates also help to increase aeration by creating spaces for air to enter the soil. This is important for plant roots, as they need oxygen to breathe.

Enhanced water retention: Soil aggregates can help to retain water by binding to the water molecules. This can help to prevent water loss from the soil, which is important for plant growth.
