Do you cover Royton and other parts of Oldham?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of Oldham, including Royton, Shaw, Failsworth, Werneth, Hollinwood and Glodwick, plus nearby Rochdale, Manchester, Salford and Bury.

How do you stop weeds coming through gravel?

A proper base and a good-quality geotextile membrane under the gravel stop most weeds growing up from the soil. Over time a few seeds blow in and germinate in the gravel itself, but they are shallow-rooted and easy to pull out or treat. Keeping leaves and debris raked off helps.

Checklist before booking in Oldham

  • Note any slopes, puddles or areas that stay wet after rain
  • Ask each installer how deep they will dig and what sub-base depth they will lay
  • Confirm the gravel type, size and finished depth in writing
  • Agree the edging material and where the drive meets the pavement
  • Make sure waste removal is included and ask how it will be disposed of
