Aggregates & Soils

Understanding Residential Aggregates & Soils

Residential projects in Farleigh often require a variety of aggregates and soils to improve the functionality and appearance of your home’s outdoor spaces. Whether you’re landscaping your garden, creating a new driveway, or improving your property’s drainage system in Farleigh, Towens offers the perfect selection of high-quality materials to meet your specific needs. Our range of aggregates and soils is ideal for Farleigh homeowners looking to boost their outdoor living areas and boost their property’s curb appeal.

Essential Soils for Healthy Gardens

Topsoil, essential for healthy plant growth, can be delivered in small or large quantities for new garden beds or lawn improvements.

Versatile Sands for Various Applications

Fine sand (0-2mm) is perfect for creating smooth surfaces in children’s play areas or for use in mortar mixes for DIY projects. Fill sand (2-4mm) works well for levelling uneven areas in your yard or as a base for paving stones. Grit sand (0-4mm) is ideal for drainage solutions around your property or as a component in concrete mixing.

Decorative and Functional Aggregates

Decorative gravels, like our single-sized clean aggregates (10-20mm), can transform driveways, and pathways, or create attractive mulch alternatives in garden beds. For more substantial landscaping projects, our recycled Type 1 sub-base material provides a stable foundation for patios, sheds, or garden structures. Road planings offer an economical solution for creating temporary driveways or rural access roads on your property.

At Towens, we provide these high-quality landscaping products to make your garden both beautiful and affordable. Simply choose from our extensive range, and we’ll deliver directly to your door via a bulk bag or loose load, simplifying your residential improvement projects.

Understanding Aggregates & Soils in Construction

What are Aggregates?

Aggregates are essential granular, inert materials used in construction. They come in various sizes and are typically sourced from natural or recycled materials. When combined with binders like water or cement, they form crucial building materials.

Applications of Aggregates & Soils

Aggregates play a vital role in:

• Concrete, mortar, and asphalt production
• Providing bulk, strength, and thermal properties to building materials
• Decorative purposes for driveways and flowerbeds
• Void filling
