Quick answer

10mm Recycled Concrete is a sustainable aggregate whose blue-grey tone adds contrast to a garden. It copes with weather and foot traffic and drains very well. Use it as a base under pavers or garden beds, in garden features, on driveways, paths and patios, and in concrete mixes. Lay it about 50mm deep.

Easy on the environment

Made from premium recycled concrete, this is an eco-friendly alternative to newly quarried material that cuts waste and saves natural resources. Being recycled takes nothing away from its strength: it lasts and stands up to weather and heavy use. Choosing recycled material keeps resources in a closed loop, which makes it a great pick for landscapers who care about their footprint.

Step by step

Using 10mm Recycled Concrete on your job

  1. 01Start with a clean, level surface. For paths or driveways, you may need to dig out some soil or existing material to get the depth you want.
  2. 02Rake or shovel the aggregate evenly over the area. For a firmer finish, compact it with a mechanical plate compactor.
  3. 03Building a base for pavers or garden features? Spread the aggregate in an even layer first, then bed the pavers or features on it.
  4. 04For decorative jobs, such as around garden beds or as a landscape feature, keep the layer even and level.

10mm Recycled Concrete: your questions answered

Is 10mm recycled concrete just blue metal by another name?

No. It’s made from crushed recycled concrete rather than quarried rock, so it’s paler, lighter and usually cheaper. Blue metal is the harder, more consistent stone.

Is 10mm recycled concrete good for drainage?

Yes. Water passes freely through the open gaps between the particles.

How many cubic metres of 10mm recycled concrete should I order?

One cubic metre covers about 20 m² when spread 50mm deep.
