Where is the best place to buy drainage gravel

[tr250]

Midlands area what sort is best and what sort of price is it roughly
? Will the quarry’s deal direct or do I need to ring a merchant need roughly 980 tons in total but only around 300 tons in a couple of weeks the rest in July. Is there any shortages heard there is with most building materials?

I heard off a drainage contractor that HS2 is taking so much stone it’s in short supply.
Usually you will get a better price off a local haulier than the quarry, and you won’t have to worry about complying to all their health and safety regs to get in there either.

Get recycled. Hs2 have destroyed supply chains and cocked up prices for the rest of us.

recycled sourced when it’s dry does the job, in the winter it’s got more soil in usually

Try rose aggregates, I haven’t used them for a while but they were good.

What are you using to install drainage?

We're beginning to sell Soil-Max Tile (drainage pipes) Ploughs in the UK and the advantage of using this plough is that it doesn't require dumping gravel on top of the pipe so farmers are saving quite a bit of money.

Our near neighbors are doing it for us they run their own mastenbroek trencher. Do you have any info on your ploughs are you talking small sections of tile pipes like older drainage schemes. Can you mole drain into them as that is the idea of using the gravel

Well that's convenient! It's always nice to know someone with their own machine.

I've attached some videos below for you to reference. You can also visit www.soilmax.com/plows. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.
