Subbase

Description

Part of our Essentials Aggregates range, Subbase is a MOT Type 1 aggregate made up of crushed stone in mixed grey and brown tones, specifically graded to provide firm, stable groundwork beneath paving and slabs. Its well-graded mix of particle sizes allows it to compact down tightly, forming a dense, load-bearing layer that supports the surface above and helps prevent movement or subsidence over time.

Once laid and compacted, this subbase creates a solid, stable foundation for a wide range of surfaces, including slabs, block paving, and gravel finishes. Its firm, well-bound structure ensures the finished surface remains level and secure, reducing the risk of dips, cracks, or uneven settling that can occur when paving is laid onto poorly prepared ground.

This makes it a genuinely versatile product for sub-base construction beneath driveways, patios, paths, and paving projects of all kinds, as well as for general groundwork wherever a firm, stable base layer is needed before surfacing work begins. Its consistent grading gives reliable, predictable compaction, helping to achieve a professional, long-lasting result across both small garden projects and larger scale groundwork.

Supplied in a trade-friendly bagged format, Subbase is a practical choice for domestic and professional use alike, offering easy handling and consistent quality for tradespeople and DIY users tackling paving and groundwork projects. As a natural aggregate, please expect some variation in colour and grading between batches due to material variation.
