Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Project
Selecting the correct aggregates is a crucial part of any construction or landscaping project. From foundations and drainage to groundworks and finishing layers, the right material ensures strength, durability and a professional result.
At Fryer Hire Construction, we supply a carefully selected range of high-quality aggregates to suit projects of all sizes, helping customers choose the most suitable option for their specific needs.
What Are Aggregates?
Aggregates are granular materials such as crushed stone, sand, recycled hardcore and soil used across construction and landscaping. They form the base of concrete, support structures, improve drainage and create stable, level surfaces. The type and grade you choose will directly affect the performance and lifespan of the finished work.
The Aggregates We Supply
At Fryer Hire Construction, we provide a reliable supply of the following materials:
- Recycled Type 1 – A compactable sub-base ideal for driveways, paths, patios and roads, offering excellent load-bearing properties.
- Recycled 6F5 – A larger graded material commonly used for bulk fill, ground stabilisation and haul roads.
- Crushed Concrete – A versatile and cost-effective alternative to traditional hardcore, suitable for sub-bases and foundation layers.
- Screened Topsoil – Perfect for landscaping, turfing, planting and garden levelling, free from large stones and debris.
- Sand – Suitable for a wide range of uses including bricklaying, paving, bedding and general construction work.
Each product is processed to meet high standards, ensuring consistency, performance and value for money.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Application
The correct aggregate depends on how it will be used. Sub-base materials such as recycled Type 1 and crushed concrete are essential for supporting driveways and patios, while 6F5 is ideal for deeper fills and stabilising poor ground. Screened topsoil is best for finishing and landscaping, and sand plays a vital role in bedding, mortar and general construction.
