Blue Metal (5, 10, 20, 40mm)
Read more$100.00 TONNE1 T 3/4 T 1/2 T 1/4 T 20Kg Bag $100 $79 $58 $37 $10 Blue Metal (5, 10, 20, 40mm)Blue Metal is a quarried, crushed aggregate rock that can range in colour from blue to black. It comes in four sizes: 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm and 40mm, and is primarily used in making concrete. Because it is a clean, crushed rock, it is also ideal for drainage, particularly around agricultural pipes. Blue metal is a popular choice for constructing driveways or paths.
10 mm and 20 mm sized rocks are typically used when making concrete. The larger 20 mm size rocks work best to bind with cement or asphalt and form a better, stronger concrete. Generally, the 5 mm size is not recommended for such tasks, as it is considered too small to provide a desired stable base.
The 40mm Blue Metal can be used for all weather access at the front of new construction sites. The 63mm Basalt, is also a good alternative for all weather access.
Please note that colours can vary greatly from load to load and this is a high turnover product, so what you see one day will be different the next. If colour is specifically important to you, you may wish to inspect the material prior to delivery and on the day of delivery. We recommend getting the whole quantity at one time, for consistency.
In short: Be sure to calculate and order all the materials required for your blue gravel driveway or other project in one lot, to avoid the variations in size and colour that can occur.
Turtle Nursery and Landscaping Supplies are your local Sydney blue metal suppliers. We have good, competitive blue metal gravel prices and 7-day delivery, Sydney-wide.

Compared with that of Blue Metal, the road base price is more economical when buying in larger quantities. Turtle Nursery and Landscaping Supplies offer a good, competitive road base price and Sydney-wide delivery, 7 days per week.

Crushed Sandstone (75mm minus)
Read more$60.00 TONNE1 T 3/4 T 1/2 T 1/4 T 20Kg Bag $60 $49 $38 $27 – Crushed Sandstone primarily used for compaction under roads and in construction.
Our Crushed Sandstone comes in 75 mm minus, but often some of the rocks can be a little bigger. The larger rocks in the crushed sandstone are great when you’re after a rougher looking finish. For this reason they are not the best suited for pathways.
Crushed Sandstone is used for rural driveways. The ‘minus’ grading indicates that smaller sized particles, down to dust, are also included in the mix.

DGB Road Base (20mm)
Read more$90.00 TONNE1 T 3/4 T 1/2 T 1/4 T 20Kg Bag $90 $71.50 $53 $34.50 – DGB (Densely Graded Base) is similar to Standard Road Base but a cut above, as it is compliant with RMS specification 3051 and suitable for use a road base material under bitumen, in developments, sub-division, council roadways and so on.
It is sized at ‘20 mm minus’, which means it ranges from 20 mm down to dust in particle sizes.
For general use in pathways, driveways and gardens, where stricter compliance is not an issue, we recommend you use the Standard Road Base as a cheaper and easier alternative. It will usually suffice, unless your job specification demands DGB.

Recycled Concrete Agg 10mm
Read more$72.00 TONNE1 T 3/4 T 1/2 T 1/4 T 20Kg Bag $72 $58 $44 $30 $10 Instead of just ending up in landfill, concrete materials, bricks and tiles are reclaimed and transformed to new uses in construction, as recycled concrete agg. Sydney tradies enjoy the reliable service and delivery from Turtle Nursery and Landscaping Supplies for these and other materials.Recycled Concrete Aggregate is made for use in drainage so be aware quality and appearance vary greatly from load to load.
Recycled Concrete Aggregate comes in 10 mm or 20 mm and is manufactured from crushed concrete and/or brick. In colour it ranges from a concrete white to a mix of reds and oranges from the bricks and tiles. Every load varies greatly in colour and appearance. If the colour is of importance please inspect just prior to delivery.
Recycled Aggregates are commonly used for drainage around agricultural pipes. They are not as clean a product as Blue Metal, due to small sand and dust particles breaking off when moved or loaded. Recycled concrete aggregate is not suitable for making concrete, (use blue metal for this), and not as clean as blue metal for drainage, but nonetheless present a cheaper alternative to the blue metal used by many plumbers.
Recycled Concrete Aggregate is not recommended for paths or driveways, although some may want it for this purpose. Concrete contains steel, and while manufacturers remove as much steel as possible they cannot remove it all. As the concrete comes from building sites they may contain glass, nails, screws and other building material. While these components can be fine in drainage, they are not suitable for your pathways or driveways.
Please note that every load will vary greatly in colour. If the colour of the product is important to your project, we recommend you come to inspect the product before delivery.
