Description
Cotswold Self Binding Gravel Consists of:
Cotswold Self Binding Gravel is a very attractive golden coloured, self binding, suitable for paths, borders and cycle tracks. The range of gravel sizes that make up this self binding gravel ensure it compacts firmly and resists movement when trafficked. This product is ideal for applications where a firm surface is required whilst still remaining semi porous. Cotswold Self binding gravel should be placed in layers and rolled using a vibrating roller to create a firm surface. We recommend 50mm depth for footpaths and borders. Self Binding Gravel must be laid on a suitable compacted sub-base such as MOT Type 1 or preferably MOT Type 3 and it is essential that Cotswold Self Binding Gravel is laid with a camber or crossfall to allow water to disperse. Poor drainage is the number one cause of surface failure. This product must not be laid when soaking wet or bone dry as compaction will be lost.
