Default Decorative chippings

Anybody know any large chains or anywhere local to Sheffield that sell (and
deliver) decorative stone chippings by the tonne?


Try yellow pages and ring around the local builders merchants to get
some quotes. We were quoted prices ranging by a factor of 2 so don't
take the first quote. Ours came in roughly 1 cubic metre heavy duty
bags.

Who is cheapest depends on exactly which type of decorative gravel you
want (and cost of delivery).
(plum gravel proved surprisingly expensive, but looked good on the
borders of a low maintainence garden)
