60mm crushed rock ballast. Big angular stone for drainage blankets and soakage pits.
Big 60mm crushed rock, the same style of stone used under rail track. All voids and angles, so water moves through it fast and it will not squash down under load. It's a straightforward material that most Perth landscapers and builders already know how to work with on site.
That makes it the pick for drainage blankets, soakage pits, subsoil drains and firming up boggy site access.
