AGRICULTURE / EQUESTRIAN 

Equestrian Limestone Clean & Down

Our limestone is particularly suitable for use in gateways & tracks. Available in various sizes of clean aggregate & down to dust, It is a soft limestone, more suitable as it is less likely to puncture or damage an animals hooves. 

Used at the correct time of year, it can re-establish a firm footing in susceptible areas such as gateways & field shelters.   

Our 20 mm down Limestone is widely used in and around Leicestershire for cattle paths between adjoining fields. Laid & rolled it can provide a network of footpaths, providing a firm but animal friendly alternative to continued wear to existing grass areas which will inevitably turn to mud in the wetter months.  

Coarse Sand used for cattle bedding as an alternative to straw.


Available in Bulk & Small Quantities

Coarse Silica Sand can be used for a variety of uses in Equestrian, Agricultural & General Construction use.

RECYCLED AGGREGATES 

Recycled aggregates are a great overall alternative to Virgin/ Quarried aggregates, not only are they more cost effective than Quarried aggregates they can be just as robust and practical as their quarried counterparts.
Recycled aggregates are quickly becoming the new thing for building sites to use providing a more sustainable future.  

Please note these are recycled products that have passed through a screening process to determine size only. We can take no responsibility for foreign objects that may be found within the materials. We woud not therefore recommend their use as a surface dressing.
