Coverage
Approximately 10m2 per bag at a standard depth of 50mm.
Usage
Primarily used for decorative horticultural landscaping, 40mm slate's flat, interlocking surface makes it ideal for footpaths and walkways, offering a smoother, more navigable surface than rounded gravel. It is also commonly used for garden bed edging, mulching (with ground membrane to boost moisture retention and suppress weeds), building rockeries, and defining paved patios.
MOT Type 1 has crushed gravel stones that form the granular sublayer for road surfaces and pathways. Hardwearing, this gravel provides a load bearing stable layer and a flat surface prior to laying paving or hard standing areas. The fine mixture also ensures minimal voids in the sublayer when compacted.

At 50mm depth: about 0.25–0.3 m² per trade pack.
At 100mm (standard patio base): approximately 0.12–0.15 m² per trade pack.
Usage
Used to create a high-strength, load-bearing foundation on small-scale or patchwork projects. When compacted, the interlocking stones and dust form an ultra-dense, stable sub-base. Ideal for small patios, garden paths, shed bases, block paving repairs, and fence posts.

Coverage
Approximately 8–10 m² per bulk bag at a 50mm depth when compacted.
