The Civil Engineering Range
Smiths Bletchington supplies a wide range of high-quality shingle aggregates for drainage, driveways, landscaping, and construction projects. Available in multiple sizes and supplied in bulk bags, tonne bags, and loose tipped loads, our decorative and functional shingles are suitable for both trade and domestic applications.
Sourced from our Gill Mill and Duns Tew quarries, our shingle products combine reliable performance with attractive natural finishes, making them suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
Our range includes both decorative and functional shingle aggregates suitable for domestic landscaping, commercial works, and construction applications.
Pea shingle is commonly used for drainage systems, pathways, pipe bedding, soakaways, and decorative landscaping. Available in 6mm, 10mm, and 20mm sizes.
Oxford shingle features attractive natural limestone tones and is commonly used for driveways, hard landscaping, soakaways, and drainage applications.
Pea shingle is typically used for finer drainage and decorative applications, while Oxford shingle is often preferred for driveways, larger drainage systems, and hard landscaping projects.
Shingle is widely used within soakaways, trench drainage systems, pipe bedding, and land drainage projects due to its free-draining properties.

Larger shingle sizes can create durable and attractive gravel driveway surfaces that help improve water drainage and reduce standing water.
Decorative shingle is often used for garden borders, footpaths, planting areas, and outdoor landscaping schemes where a natural finish is required.
