chuckies\ gravel suppliers?

[slipstream 1985]

Any recommendations of where to get 2 inch sized for my driveway? Most seem to be 1 inch or smaller? Aberdeen area looking for about 15 tonnes.

You should be able to get some grades of chuckies from any of the larger quarries.

I would try Leiths as they also do driveways etc so will be familiar with that sort of grade as well as having the vehicles capable of delivering.

Tom's forest quarry at Kintore will have what you need. Quite nice silvery granite too.

I've used GPH in Inverurie before, delivered to site, seemed pretty good to me.

Out of curiosity, why were you wanting bigger gravel?
I may answer my own question here - I have standard sized red chuckies and they do stick to tread of tyres , and occasionally get into brakes!

I have a trail of stones out onto the road at my driveway that I need to regularly brush back in!

My Dad said that the smaller 20-30mm was not as well suited. Ended up going with 30-40mm as they didn't have 2.5 inch but it has worked out well. Better for drainage the slightly bigger size.
