Description
Sandstone 10mm Minus
Create a natural, compacted surface with Sandstone 10mm Minus, a versatile crushed sandstone designed for pathways, driveways and general landscaping applications.
This material features a blend of 10mm crushed stone and fine particles (“minus”), allowing it to bind together when compacted, creating a firm, stable surface. It offers a budget-friendly alternative to premium decorative gravels while maintaining a warm, natural appearance.
With its mix of cream, brown, orange and subtle red tones, it delivers a soft, earthy finish that suits a wide range of landscape styles.
Key Features & Benefits
Compactable “minus” material — Contains fines that help the gravel bind together for a firm surface.
Budget-friendly option — A cost-effective solution for paths, driveways and general landscaping.
Natural sandstone colour blend — Warm tones create a soft, organic landscape finish.
Stable underfoot — Compacts to form a solid, low-movement surface.
Versatile use — Suitable for both decorative and functional applications.
What It’s Used For
Pathways & Walkways — Creates a firm, compacted surface ideal for foot traffic.
Driveways & Access Areas — Suitable for light-use driveways and parking areas due to its compaction ability.
Garden Beds & Landscaping — Provides a natural, low-cost decorative ground cover.
Under Pavers & Stepping Stones — Acts as a stable base layer when compacted.
Why It Performs Well
Sandstone 10mm Minus contains a range of particle sizes from stone down to fine dust, allowing it to:
- Compact tightly and form a solid surface
- Fill gaps between larger particles for stability
- Reduce movement under foot or light traffic
- Create a smooth, natural-looking finish
This makes it ideal for applications where stability and affordability are more important than drainage or decorative sharpness.
Important Product Characteristics
