Secondary aggregates are created following the completion of muckaway, hardcore removal and tarmac removal services – all three of which we provide in Strood, assisted by our fleet of grab hire vehicles.

How are these aggregates used?

There are all sorts of different tasks that call for aggregates, from work on small domestic landscaping tasks, to mammoth developments or installation of utilities. For example, aggregates are used as the main component in essential construction materials like concrete. Road planings, meanwhile, can be used to create temporary hard standings like car parking facilities.

What exactly is topsoil?

As the name suggests, a top layer of soil which is rich in organic matter and nutrients. Our topsoil suppliers have both screened and certified products available, to ensure it’s suitable for its intended use. If you’re a landscaper charged with planting a row of hedges, new flowers and trees, etc. – you’re going to want something that’ll lead to strong, healthy growth.

How does screened and certified topsoil differ?

Screened topsoil has been sifted / filtered remove large rocks, roots, and other debris. This process results in a fairly uniform consistency, making it easier to work with. Screened topsoil can vary in quality depending on the source and the screening process used, and it may not contain the optimal nutrient content for growing plants.

Certified topsoil has been tested to meet standards for quality and nutrient content. Strood clients ordering a quantity from our topsoil suppliers are looking for optimal levels of nutrients and organic matter to grow plants, etc.
