2 Breedon Golden Amber Gravel is supplied nationwide, from private driveways to prestigious public sector projects. The finished natural appearance of Breedon Golden Amber Gravel blends in with either historical or modern day sites and is a favoured choice with many architects and specifiers. Our dedicated sales team are always available to advise and discuss suitability for your future projects. LAYING INSTRUCTIONS Recommended finished compacted thickness 50mm approximate coverage 10m2 per tonne. Breedon Golden Amber Gravel is a natural material quarried from selected limestone and graded approximately 12mm (1/2 ) to fines, the fines content being a naturally occurring marl which acts as the self setting agent when the material is watered and rolled to a satisfactory compaction in the manner described below. IT IS RECOMMENDED that Breedon Golden Amber Gravel be laid on a well consolidated crushed rock foundation and we recommend our Ministry of Transport Granular Sub Base Type 1. (a) it should be of sufficient strength and stability to carry the proposed traffic, and (b) the area concerned should be porous enough to ensure that water is not held directly in or immediately below the Breedon Gravel. The foundation should be laid and rolled with a roller of suitable weight, ie. minimum 1.5 tonne for footway and similar works, and minimum 2.5 tonne for car parks etc. The Breedon Golden Amber Gravel should be spread and levelled with a flat boarded rake on the prepared foundation. Then rolled DRY using a roller of similar type to that used for consolidating the foundation with vibratory action and rolled to fullest compaction. After the initial laying to cambers and falls, it is probable that odd scabby areas will be evident where segregation has occurred. Fines can be sieved from the main heap of material and used to bind these segregated areas. When a uniform appearance has been achieved, the second stage can be undertaken. This is the water rolling of Breedon Gravel before which the rollers vibratory action must be switched off. Water should be sprayed or sprinkled on to the wheels of the roller and never directly on to the material since this would tend to wash out the surface fines. The object of water rolling this material is to float sufficient fines to the top surface of the gravel to obtain a well bonded finish. When this aim is achieved and the surface has been sufficiently watered and rolled, the areas concerned should be allowed to dry out before being opened up to general use. Because the material depends entirely on its own binding properties for its stability, it is obviously better not to lay Breedon Gravel on steep slopes where the angle of fall is greater than In parkland and similar schemes, long continuous fall over sloping ground can be minimised by the formation of steps at regular intervals, thus reducing the risk of ruts occurring through the action of flowing storm water. Should maintenance work be necessary, it is advisable in the case of pot holes occurring, to cut out the affected areas to a neat edge and replace completely with new gravel. In the event of resurfacing at a later date, the top of the gravel surface should be scarified to a depth of 25mm (1 ) and thereon a layer of new Breedon Gravel laid, rolled and water rolled to new falls and cambers. unique breedon golden amber gravel the golden choice for a greener environment Above: Althorp House, Northampton.

3 Step General Maintenance Plan Good house keeping measures Should any weed growth occur. Remove with water based weed killer, never pull weeds up through surface. Ensure all drainage areas are kept free of debris etc., to ensure free drainage of surface water including drains and gullies. Any potholes that may occur due to damage, repair as per laying instructions, as soon as possible. If after use there may be an excess of loose material this can be removed with soft broom. (Appearance personal choice). Removal of leaves etc., in Autumn. Remove either with blower or vacuum or sweep with soft broom, never brush surface with coarse hard brush.
