Aggregates in Dorking RH4: High-Quality Materials Delivered by Chargrace Soils

Aggregates are the unsung heroes of outdoor projects. From creating strong foundations to enhancing garden aesthetics, they make all the difference in performance and finish. Whether you're laying a driveway, building a sub-base for paving, improving drainage, or creating decorative features, the right aggregate makes all the difference in performance and finish.

At Chargrace Soils, we supply premium aggregates throughout Dorking and the RH4 postcode area, with fast, reliable delivery and expert customer support. Serving homeowners, tradespeople, and landscapers alike, our goal is to provide high-quality materials tailored to your project's needs.

Why Aggregates Matter in Dorking

In the heart of Surrey Hills, Dorking is known for its varied terrain, including clay-rich soils, chalk ridges, and low-lying floodplains. These geological contrasts mean construction and landscaping projects must be approached with care, particularly when choosing aggregates.

In areas like Pixham, Westcott, and North Holmwood, garden and site conditions can differ significantly from one road to the next. Whether improving access, enhancing surface drainage, or stabilising footpaths, reliable aggregates help ensure long-term durability and professional results.

That's why Chargrace Soils provides a curated range of aggregates, all selected for local relevance, performance, and sustainability.

Our Aggregate Products for RH4 Projects

Depending on your volume needs and access, we offer a wide range of aggregate products in loose loads or bulk bags. Here's an overview of our most popular materials available for delivery in Dorking:

MOT Type 1

Best for: Driveways, patios, sub-base preparation

MOT Type 1 is a crushed limestone or granite aggregate designed for compaction. It creates a stable foundation beneath hard surfaces like block paving, concrete, and tarmac. Whether building a driveway on Deepdene Avenue or preparing a path in Milton Court, MOT Type 1 ensures structural reliability beneath the surface.

Ballast (20mm)

Best for: Mixing concrete for foundations or footings

Our 20mm ballast is a pre-mixed combination of gravel and sharp sand, perfect for general-purpose concrete. It's ideal for shed bases, fence posts, driveways, or steps—especially on uneven terrain found throughout Goodwyns, Vincent Lane, and the rural edges of Dorking.

Sharp Sand

Best for: Laying slabs, block paving, screeding

Sharp sand features angular particles that provide strength and drainage. Commonly used beneath paving slabs and patios, it offers stability without compaction. If you're creating hardscaped seating areas or garden features in Westcott or Ranmore, sharp sand is your best friend.

Pea Gravel (4–10mm & 10–20mm)

Best for: Decorative borders, drainage, driveways

Pea gravel is a rounded, smooth aggregate with excellent drainage properties. It's suitable for pathways, French drains, and borders. Its natural finish complements the rustic style of many Dorking homes and blends beautifully into Coldharbour or South Street country gardens.

Crushed Concrete / Recycled Type 1

Best for: Eco-friendly sub-base layers

Our recycled aggregate, made from processed construction waste, offers strength and value while supporting sustainability goals. It's perfect for driveways, access tracks, and temporary surfaces. It's especially popular for rural properties and outbuildings near Glory Wood, Denbies Wine Estate, and surrounding farmland.

Tarmac Road Planings

Best for: Temporary tracks, driveways, parking areas

Tarmac planings are cost-effective and easy to work with. Ideal for driveways, private roads, and rural footpaths, they provide a durable surface at a lower cost, which is excellent for larger areas needing quick coverage across RH4.

Aggregates Tailored to Every Dorking Project

Aggregates aren't one-size-fits-all. Choosing the right material depends on your project's purpose, ground conditions, and required finish.

For strong structural work, MOT Type 1 is the best base for driveways and patios.

For concrete mixing, Ballast gives you the right blend of sand and gravel for durable mixes.

For paving jobs: Sharp sand keeps slabs level and helps prevent shifting over time.

For visual appeal and drainage, Pea gravel is perfect for softening edges, filling gaps, or lining garden paths.

For eco-conscious builds, Crushed concrete helps reduce environmental impact without compromising strength.
