Aggregate · 08.08
Evenly graded 5mm recycled aggregate. Firm underfoot and a recycled base for pavers, paths and patios.
Quick answer
5mm Recycled Concrete is a neat, uniform recycled aggregate that stays stable and copes with weather and foot traffic. It cuts waste and is used 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, where one cubic metre covers roughly 20 m².

Why choose it
Good jobs for it
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
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.
Yes. Spread it in an even layer, run a plate compactor over it, then lay the pavers.
One cubic metre covers about 20 m² when spread 50mm deep.
