    Allow approx 15 sq yd / ton spread rate 1"-2" (max). Pebble ie rounded stone not recommended for driveway, not stable as stones do not lock/compact well leading to constant ridges and raking.

    Natural Stone Yard (Ashbourne), Patio Centre (Cabinteely) and Cement Roadstone (various locations including Belgard) all offer and deliver a range of stone.
