🚧 How to Use Our 20mm Crushed Rock for Driveways & Paths in Eltham

If you’re creating a driveway, pathway, or hardstand area in your garden or on your property, 20mm Crushed Rock is one of the most reliable and cost-effective materials you can use.

At ID Garden & Landscape Centre in Eltham, we stock high-quality 20mm Crushed Rock C3 – perfect for compacted base layers and finished surfaces alike. Here’s what you need to know.

 

🪨 What Is 20mm Crushed Rock?

Our 20mm Crushed Rock C3 is a blend of fine and coarse rock particles that compacts extremely well. The combination of larger angular stones and fines (dust and small particles) locks together when compacted, forming a strong and stable surface.

It's commonly used as:

  • A base layer under concrete, pavers, and asphalt
  • A driveway surface in rural and semi-rural areas
  • A hard-wearing path or shed base
  • A prep layer for artificial turf

🏡 Common Uses for 20mm Crushed Rock in Eltham Landscapes

✅ Driveways

Whether you're updating an existing driveway or starting from scratch, 20mm Crushed Rock offers:

  • Excellent load-bearing capacity
  • Resistance to shifting under cars or trailers
  • Long-term durability with proper compaction

Want a tidier finish? Pair it with a decorative topping like Crushed Honey Granite for a final layer.

✅ Garden Paths

For paths through lawn or garden beds, this product:

  • Compacts tightly to reduce weed growth
  • Provides a firm, non-slip surface
  • Looks natural and blends into native gardens

Top it with Honey Granite screenings or toppings for a finer finish, or leave it exposed for a rustic look.

✅ Under Artificial Turf

Laying turf? You’ll need a strong base. 20mm Crushed Rock is the perfect sub-base layer, ensuring proper drainage and long-term structure under your turf.

📏 How Much Do I Need?

As a rough guide:

  • 1 cubic metre of 20mm Crushed Rock covers approx. 10–12m² at 75mm depth
  • We sell by the cubic quarter, half-metre, metre or in bulk – depending on your needs

We’re happy to help you calculate how much to order based on your measurements.
