Hi guys,

I'm going to put some 20mm forest of dean gravel on my drive. I was planning to have it 25-30mm in depth. Some web sites say to have at 50mm.

What would you advise?

Many thanks

As a guide, as Sean says, laid depth roughly double the aggregate size.

Thanks for the advice guys. I may go for the 14mm size then, so I can have a depth of around 30mm.

Cheers
