glad to be of help. If you can't get granite dust in your area the coxwell self binding gravel that someone else mentioned sounds quite similar.
The kids seem to love wheelbarrowing, shovelling and stamping - in fact they get very good…"

Kate Jury: Oxford Garden Partner replied to michelle duxbury's discussion Recommended Playground path surfaces?"Hi Thermo/Michelle - this looks like very high quality stuff, would be great to use if the budget will stretch, but we've been paying more like £55 a ton from our local suppliers.
