My budget is the biggest problem hence why I'm looking to stones/pavers over cement . Just gotta work out the best way to do the drainage. Cheers Re: What have you done down the side of your house ? 14Nov 21, 2014 9:21 pm Hootie grumblebum54 Our landscaper recommended this as a cheap solution-paving stones and blue metal. Very nice pathway, grumblebum54! We'd like to do something similar to the side of our house too and I'm wondering for your path, would you know how much blue metal was used? I think the soil place near me sells them in quantities like 1 trailer load, 1m3, 2m3 etc etc. Cheers at soils aint soils and the other soil places around perth the standard trailer (6×4 I think) will hold 2 scoops. The 2 scoops (1 full trailer) will do roughly 14-15m2. The picture I showed you in the other thread was approx 8m2 of stones and we only got half a trailer (1 scoop) and we are only just short...need to get a couple bags to top it up! So if you go by 14m2 for full trailer or 7m2 for half trailer you should be spot on! Re: What have you done down the side of your house ? 15Nov 22, 2014 4:51 pm Hi Hootie Where we buy our supplies they sell by the tonne. We recently bought some 20mm blue metal and it cost $47 a tonne. What you see in the photo is 5mm so it would cost a few dollars more for the finer grade. They told us a box trailer holds about half a tonne. I would estimate the landscapers used between 1.5 and 2 tonnes down the side of our place.
