Answers:
the cost depends on what type of stone you want.it's definitely cheaper to buy it loose and have a tipper lorry deliver it.i got mine from sita
travis perkins its £40 a ton
It depends on what type of stone you are after,,, best pop down to your local builders merchants or quarry and see what you like. then they can work out depending on what size the material is, how deep you want it and then the area. They can then advise how many tonnes etc you need.. As a guide a Tonne of decorative chipping can vary between £30 / tonne to £100. You get what you pay for ! !
Depends on the type size and quantity you want to fill to.
I would look at bulk purchase and delivery with companies like 'The Builders Centre', 'Travis Perkins' etc.
Be prepared to purchase a few ton for proper layer. You will also have to prepare the ground and base properly, either with a membrane which will stop all weeds growing up through the gravel, or by a thick layer of sand which will restrict growth.
If you buy bags of 'rock' at local yardware store (Menards, Home Depot, etc...) check in their back log or ask - - many times they have broken bags (still same amount of rocks) that sold much cheaper than the undamaged bags.
