Am in S20 and am needing to lay down a membrane and then cover with large gravel/pebbles an around about 30ft x 15ft. Someone has mentioned Quarry Top at Eckington for being good on price.

Can anyone recommend anywhere else? I have no idea in tonnage what I am going to need.

Re the membrane I need it, obviously, to be weed proof but does it allow water to soak through - like if we had a lot of rain would it drain away (I realise I might need a soakaway around edge of garden)?

I used Hardcores on Claywheels lane (s6) cheap and cheap delivery, although as your a bit further out (i'm also in S6) not sure if delivery will be more.

I got my gravel from shepcote lane, I got the membrane from Birley Garden Centre was cheaper than other places plus there was 33% extra free.
